Observation as a job analysis technique has limitations because many jobs lack a complete, easily observable cycle. This means that observation is not applicable in some job analysis situations because certain jobs may not be ideally suited to this method. Therefore, while observation is a beneficial technique, it should be used with other methods for a more complete job analysis. Choices A and C are incorrect because observation may or may not be done covertly and may or may not be continuous. Choice B is incorrect because although observation may be applicable to many traditional jobs, it cannot be applied to all of them.
