Which of the following HR activities is similar to analyzing a job that does not yet exist?

A. Human resource planning

B. Performance appraisal

C. Job evaluation

D. Work redesign

E. Selection

Answer: Work redesign

Explanation:

Work redesign is the process by which a job analyst accesses an already existing job role to check for modifications that can be carried out on that job role to increase job effectiveness. The job modifications could be in the form of: searching for a best fit for a job role, improvements in working conditions, adjusting the job description.

Therefore work redesign is a way of analysing a job role that doesn't exist at the moment, but if redesigned could be very effective.
