A job/work analysis is undertaken to determine what people do. However, it is not as simple as this. What people do can be defined in more than one way, depending on one's perspective. Walker, 1980 discusses eight (8) possible perspectives in conducting a job analysis based on the kind of information decision-makers require. These are:
1. Reality: What do people really do?
2. Perceptions: What do people believe they do?
3. Norms: What should people do?
4. Plans: What do people intend to do in the future?
5. Motivation: What do people want to do?
6. Ability: What are people able to do?
7. Capability: What do people have the potential to do that they are otherwise not doing?
8. Forecast: What do people expect to do in the future?
