Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A staffing needs analysis begins with an assessment of the KSAs needed to achieve future goals along with those that are currently available within the organization.
Key Takeaway: Although the tasks, duties, and responsibilities are used to determine what the KSAs are, it is possible for individuals with the same or similar KSAs to perform different jobs, so option B is not used in a needs analysis. KSAs available in the local labor market will be used to develop the recruiting strategy and plan but are not relevant to the staffing needs analysis. The organization's core competencies are factors that make the organization unique but are not generally part of the staffing needs analysis.
