Abstract

Job description plays a key role when hiring or applying for any job at any organization. It details the job to be performed, and roles and responsibilities involved clearly so as to clarify the applicant with his work. There are many associated issues with job description in the current industrialised world as employees who are not very well clear of their job description are just made to perform any task that is highly critical. This activity is leading to major failures and losses in the business to lack of expertise of the work force deployed for performing the action. All these related issues are caused due to various factors including Governments quota, policies to allow few employees without proper qualifications or skills, leading to job dissatisfaction, stressful work environment and many other issues. This study aims at studying such job description related issues, factors causing such issues and their significance along with statistical hypothesis testing. It also aims at studying various measures adopted by the UAE government and private organizations to overcome such job description related issues. Further discussion on the research is found in the sections below in detail.
