An occupational information system for the 21st century : the development of O*NET

This book describes a 2-yr effort to develop a comprehensive occupational information system, suitable for many purposes, that would primarily reside in electronic media. The product of this effort is a prototype of the national occupational information system intended to replace the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles" (U.S. Dept of Labor, 1991) and its supporting technology. /// As a result of the many changes taking place in the workplace, it's difficult to forecast the long-term effects of these changes. This book proposes to address the issue of how we should change the ways in which we think about, analyze, and structure occupations. The authors believed that by drawing on the best available thinking and research about the purposes, methods, and uses of occupational analysis, we could develop a comprehensive yet flexible occupational information system that would have the capability to meet the needs of a diverse set of users in an efficient, timely manner and they developed a working prototype of that system.

  • "The Occupational Titles has been relied on for the description of jobs and workforce development. However, as global competition and technological change has created a new world of work, the Department of Labor realized that a more flexible and precise system for chronicling work-related information was needed. Thus, the O*NET, or the occupational information network, was launched. Written by the developers of the O*NET system, this edited volume describes the research and methodology used in the design and development of this ground-breaking system. The O*NET is intended to provide a framework for describing jobs in terms that are capable of addressing the needs of workers and employers into the 21st Century. Instead of relying on rigid task descriptions, the O*NET uses domains of worker and occupation characteristics -- such as abilities, work styles, generalized work activities and work context -- to describe each job. This volume details each of the main domains used by the O*NET. It outlines how each was quantified and provides statistical analyses about its applications, internal relationships, and structure. The volume also places the O*NET system in its historical research context and describes how this innovative new system can support the creation of jobs tailored for the new economy. This volume will be invaluable for those needing to familiarize themselves with this powerful new human resource tool. It will be of particular interest to industrial/organizational psychologists, human factors specialists, counseling psychologists, vocational counselors, rehabilitation counselors, industrial engineers, occupational professionals, and labor market analysts."
