A job analysis is utilized in the identification of important knowledge, skills, abilities, and
other qualities (KSAOs) that are required for a job position so that ideal candidates can be
identified. This job analysis will be used as a method of describing an open position for a
psychology professor in the Department of Undergraduate Psychology at James Madison
University. This document describes the position, the organizational setting and work
environment, the necessary educational and professional requirements, as well as the needed
values and characteristics required of successfully completing the duties of the job. Furthermore,
the analysis also showcases the KSAOs that accompany the position.
