Integrating Evaluation into Individual Jobs — Job Design

The Evaluation Capacity Development Toolkit, ECDG’s first publication, focused on creating organizational structures within nonprofit organizations to support internal evaluation. The building blocks of organizational structures are the jobs that people perform.

ECDG’s second publication focuses on how organizations can include evaluation in the design of their jobs in order to better meet important individual needs while contributing to increased organizational effectiveness.

Job design is concerned with structuring jobs in order to improve organizational efficiency and employee job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is enhanced when:

• there is a sense of autonomy and responsibility for one’s work;
• there is knowledge of the results of one’s work activities;
• there is a feeling of meaningfulness in one’s work

Included in this publication are:

• Conducting a job analysis
• Writing a job description
