Objective: The goal of the present study was to evaluate the applicability of functional job analysis in the analysis of cognitive functions of occupational responsibilities in occupations of the National Petrochemical Industries Company (NPC).
Method: Five trained evaluators selected a sample of 50 tasks from the form of 1387 and 1388 task statements, based on theory and method analysis. The evaluators rated things and people (to which the employees were related using their knowledge, skills and abilities in their physical cognitive and interpersonal functional areas) according to the instructions of this method.
Results: Reliability was higher than what was expected in all instances and showed significant correlation with the evaluators’ ratings.
Conclusion: The results confirmed the strength of this method in the analysis of occupation and executive capability in many organizations.
