Job description v Role description
A job description usually define a set of
specific tasks and responsibilities that are
performed by a particular job-holder.
A role description define the job role
(technical tasks) and non-job roles that
employees are expected to perform at work
Positive Mental Attitude &
Enthusiasm Role
Solution-focus
The orientation of looking for solutions to problems rather
than focusing on the problem.
Autonomy

close supervision.
Positive Energy

and cooperative approach towards their work and colleagues.
Team Role
Leadership
The ability to influence others within the team &
organization in a positive way.
Accountability
The degree to which employees accept responsibility
for their own work and the work of others they work
with.
Self-development
Developing oneself is associated with the
commitment to help in carrying out employment
duties now and in the future.
Technical development
Involves individuals planning and making decisions
about education, training, and career choices as well
as developing the right skills and knowledge to do so.
Skill Development Role
Innovation and Continuous Improvement Role
Problem solving and critical thinking
Continuously seeking to identify, define, critically
analyze, and resolve work problems through
researching and testing alternative ideas and
approaches.
Customer responsiveness
Involves the ability to identify, understand, build
relationships with, and adapt to the requirements of
external and internal customers in an appropriate
manner.
Innovation &
Continuous
Improvement
opportunities
Ways to Formulate Role Descriptions
Dynamic duo method
The manager or supervisor chooses two individuals
who perform the same role—for example, two
accounts receivable clerks—to consider the non-job
elements associated with their role.
Team method
The manager or supervisor chooses three or four
individuals, all of whom perform the same role, to
complete the document.
Supervisor–incumbent method
The supervisor or manager works with a single
employee to complete the role documentation.
Single-employee method
The employee completes the document him/herself.
For roles with only one employee, or for a
vacant/new position, this may be the only method
available, but it is not collaborative, and therefore is
the least preferred method.
Which approaches are available to formulate role
descriptions?
