Para 3.21.11 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
3.21.11 Efficient personnel management requires that an organisation’s current and future manpower needs should be determined in terms of both quantity and quality. While the qualitative requirements are assessed through various methods of work measurement in the context of perspective organisational planning, the performance requirements and personal qualifications are assessed through job analysis and recorded in job descriptions and job specifications. Job analysis and job description are the essential prerequisites for job evaluation and for comparing the relative worth of the factors of a job with those of other jobs in the same organisation and similar jobs in other organisations.
What This Means
Good personnel management requires knowing both how many people the organization needs (quantity) and what kind of people it needs (quality), both now and in the future. Quantitative needs are determined through work measurement techniques and organizational planning. Qualitative requirements — the performance expectations and personal qualifications — are assessed through job analysis and recorded in job descriptions and job specifications. These tools are also essential for job evaluation, which compares the relative worth of different positions within and across organizations.

Practical Example
A ministry is setting up a new IT division. Work measurement indicates it needs 25 staff (quantitative assessment). Job analysis determines it needs 5 system administrators, 10 developers, 5 support technicians, and 5 project managers, each with specific qualifications and experience levels (qualitative assessment). Job evaluation is then used to determine appropriate pay scales by comparing these roles with similar positions in other government IT setups.
