Purpose of job specification?? Anyone please...

Job Description:-
Written statement of what job holder does , how it is done , u der what conditions and why.

Job Specification:-
It is the statement which lays down the minimum qualification , training , experience essential for each job.

A job description relates to the list of duties, standard of performance and working condition, also it highlights the task that should be done while on the job.

However the job specification relates to education standards, skills and personalities required for the job.

If job description worked in the absence of job specification what will happen?

job description defines the job not the individuals whereas job specification describes the individual not the job.

job analysis= job description+job specification
