MANAGEMENT CATEGORY - POSITION / JOB DESCRIPTION WRITING MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this manual is to provide a framework and guidelines for writing short and concise Management Category position descriptions. Since job descriptions are used as source documents for evaluating jobs, it is important that they provide the information needed to assess job content under the three factors used in the Management Category Evaluation Plan:

• Know-How  - the practical, technical and specialized managerial and human relations knowledge and skill required for fully satisfactory performance on the job;
• Problem Solving - the independence and the complexity of the thinking required on the job to solve problems;
• Accountability - the degree to which the job is answerable for actions or the consequences of actions.
