There is a listserv dedicated to discussion of job analysis. To subscribe,
send an email to
listserv@listserv.vt.edu with
subscribe jobanalysis Charlotte Bowden
in the body (the subject line doesn't matter). You may want to post your
question there, as it is monitored by many of the leading thinkers in the
field.
You might also want to read the job analysis chapter in the Handbook of
Industrial-Organizational Psychology. I'm blanking on the editors' names
right now, but the JA chapter is by R.J. Harvey. RJ's "Job Analysis and
Personality" web site is at
http://harvey.psyc.vt.edu.
Hope this helps!
