3. Steve contends that a manager conducting a job analysis is required not only to define jobs when they are created but also to detect changes in jobs. What is the validity of Steve's argument?
Errors in job analysis have multiple sources but most result from outdated job descriptions.
Today's workplace is more or less inflexible and is not constantly subject to change.
People imagine jobs to be unstable, whereas jobs actually do not change or evolve over time.
Changes in jobs occur only when there is a change in the descriptions of jobs.
Steve's argument is incorrect because new jobs do not have job descriptions.
