Abstract

Changing market demands in the metal‐working industry have led to the implementation and development of flexible computer controlled communication and production technologies. The presented method of job analysis, ATAA, is based on the theory of action regulation. ATAA aims to provide a planning instrument for future job structures and job requirements, and their consequences for qualification and human resource management, dependent on the choices in organization and job design. The instrument should provide decision makers in industry, both managers and works councils, with the knowledge and a procedure to perform the analysis without the help of an expert. The method is developed to analyse and design tasks in production and associated areas in mechanical engineering. It has been tested and the method was used by practitioners, for when it proved to be reliable, valid and useful for practitioners.
