job analysis.

While the job description describes activities to be done, it is job specifications that list
the knowledge, skills, and abilities an individual needs to perform a job satisfactorily.
Knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) include education, experience, work skill
requirements, personal abilities, and mental and physical requirements. Job
specifications for a data entry operator might include a required educational level, a
certain number of months of experience, a typing ability of 60 words per minute, a high
degree of visual concentration, and ability to work under time pressure. It is important to
