An exploration of the design of job descriptions in the South African Police Service / Incazo banzi yenkcazelo yomsebenzi wamaPolisa WomMzantsi Africa / Ho hlahlisoa ha tšebeletso ea litlhahiso tsa jobe tšebeletsong ea Mapolesa a South Africa

The research entailed an exploration of the design of job descriptions (JDs) in the South African Police Service (SAPS). A JD represents an official document that defines general duties, tasks, and related job responsibilities. It details the job features and the essential abilities required to perform the job. JDs are fundamental and vital to outline the job duties harmonised with the relevant organisation’s policy, ethos, goals, mission, and vision. Participants in this study were purposefully chosen to conduct semi-structured interviews and focus groups with information-rich SAPS Human Resource (HR) practitioners from both the support and operational career streams, to gain their insights into and viewpoints on the JD processes in the SAPS. The National Head Office: Divisions: Human Resource Utilisation (HRU) and Operational Response Service (ORS) and the information-rich provincial HR practitioners who support and monitor the implementation of JDs in the SAPS were included in this study. The participants were asked to answer open-ended questions that aimed to explore the design of JDs in the SAPS. The interviews were recorded with the participants’ permission.
The recorded information was translated verbatim and analysed. The six fundamental themes that emerged are: value and benefits of JDs; processes to coordinate and monitor JDs to ensure effective management; the potential of JDs to enhance police performance; knowledge and skills for designing JDs; attitudes, experiences, and challenges of JDs; and recommendations of electronic JD systems. The topics were delineated using direct quotations from the participants as gained during the interviews. Opinions, experiences, administrative aspects, and criticism of the various features of JDs in the SAPS was explored. In summary, the research recommendations and conclusion were given. The results of this study show there are several factors that can enable and optimise inclusion in the effective designing process of JDs in the SAPS. / Ucwaningo lubandakanya ukuhlolisiswa komdwebo wezincazelo zemisebenzi (JDs) eNingizimu Afrika Amaphoyisa (SAPS). I-JD imelela idokhumenti esemthethweni echaza imisebenzi ejwayelekile, imisebenzi, kanye nemithwalo yemisebenzi ehlobene. It ichaza izici zomsebenzi kanye namakhono abalulekile adingekayo ukuze enze lo msebenzi. I-JDs iyigugu futhi ibalulekile ukuchaza imisebenzi ehambisana nomgomo wenhlangano efanele, izinhloso, izinhloso, umsebenzi kanye nombono. Abahlanganyeli kulolu cwaningo babekhethwe ngenhloso yokuqhuba izingxoxo ezihleliwe kanye namaqembu okugxila abasebenza nge-SAPS Human Resource (HR) abaqeqeshiwe abavela kuzo zombili ukusekela nokusebenza kwemifudlana yomsebenzi, ukuze bathole ukuqonda kwabo kanye nokubukwa kwizinhlelo ze-JD kuma-SAPS. I-Ofisi Eyinhloko Kazwelonke: Izigaba: Ukusetshenziswa Kwemithombo Yabantu (HRU) kanye ne-Operational Response Service (ORS) kanye nabasebenzi abacebile be-HR esifundazweni abanolwazi abaxhasa futhi baqaphe ukuqaliswa kwe-JDs kuma-SAPS bafakiwe kulolu cwaningo. Abahlanganyeli babuzwa ukuthi baphendule imibuzo evulekile ehlose ukuhlola ukuklama kwama-JD ku-SAPS. Lezi zincwadi zabhalwa nemvume yabahlanganyeli.
Ulwazi olurekhodiwe luhunyushwe ngokucacile futhi luhlaziywe. Izingqikithi eziyisithupha eziyisisekelo ezivela ziyizi: inani nenzuzo ye-JDs; izinqubo zokuxhumanisa nokuqapha i-JDs ukuqinisekisa ukuphathwa okuphumelelayo; ikhono lama-JDs ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwamaphoyisa; ulwazi namakhono wokwakha i-JDs; isimo sengqondo, okuhlangenwe nakho, nezinselelo ze-JDs; kanye nezincomo zezinhlelo ze-JD zobuchwepheshe. Izihloko zachazwa ngokucaphuno okuqondile kusuka kubahlanganyeli njengoba zitholakale ngesikhathi sokuxoxisana. Imibono, okuhlangenwe nakho, izici zokuphatha, nokugxeka izici ezihlukahlukene ze-JDs ku-SAPS kuhlolwe. Ngamafuphi, izincomo zocwaningo nesiphetho zanikezwa. Imiphumela yalolu cwaningo ibonisa ukuthi kunezici eziningana ezingasiza futhi zenzeke ukufakwa ekusebenzeni okuphumelelayo kwe-JDs kuma-SAPS. / Phuputso e kenyeletsa ho hlahloba moralo oa litlhaloso tsa mosebetsi (JDs) Lefapheng la Mapolesa a Afrika Boroa (SAPS).
