Job analysis forms the foundation for accurate, fair, and legally appropriate human resource systems. However, the notion that personnel practices provide fair opportunities, if they are based on systematically collected job analysis data, relies on the assumption that job analysis accurately captures the essence of jobs as they exist for all individuals. This integrative conceptual review provides a framework that integrates the diversity and job analysis literatures, finding that: (a) employees from different demographic groups can have unique yet predictable work experiences and (b) issues and biases in gathering and reporting job analysis data may cloud the documentation of diverse work experiences and perspectives. The conclusions of this review pose implications for both research and practice as we consider the extent to which job analysis may fail to capture wide and inclusive conceptualizations of successful job performance. If job analyses can be approached in a way that facilitates the collection of diverse perspectives, the inclusiveness of HR systems built-off job analyses can be improved, and job analyses can be positioned as a tool for detecting if employees from different demographic groups are assigned objectively different tasks or subjected to different expectations. Our theoretical perspective offers a promising means to understand the experience of work across various groups of employees through job analysis and mitigate (likely unintentional) discrimination that can be facilitated by one of our field's most foundational tools. It also suggests a new and important area of research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

我们的基础有裂缝吗？对工作分析中多样性问题的综合审查。

工作分析为准确、公平和合法的人力资源系统奠定了基础。然而，如果人事实践基于系统收集的工作分析数据，那么人事实践提供公平机会的概念依赖于这样一个假设，即工作分析准确地捕捉到了所有个人都存在的工作本质。这种综合性的概念审查提供了一个整合多样性和工作分析文献的框架，发现：（a）来自不同人口群体的员工可以拥有独特但可预测的工作经验，以及（b）收集和报告工作分析数据的问题和偏见可能会模糊不同工作经验和观点的文档。这篇综述的结论对研究和实践都有影响，因为我们考虑了工作分析可能无法捕捉到成功工作绩效的广泛和包容性概念的程度。如果工作分析能够以有助于收集不同观点的方式进行，则可以提高人力资源系统构建的工作分析的包容性，并且可以将工作分析定位为检测是否分配了来自不同人口统计组的员工的工具客观上不同的任务或受到不同的期望。我们的理论观点提供了一种很有前途的方法，可以通过工作分析来了解不同员工群体的工作体验，并减轻（可能是无意的）歧视，这可以通过我们领域最基础的工具之一来促进。它还提出了一个新的重要研究领域。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
