In the world of HRM, what is difference between: 1- Job description. 2- Job specification?

Job Description: The duties assigned to you or a person.

Job specification: The necessary requirements for the specified Job or Position.

I apologize for lack of jurisdiction

job description is about the duties which should be acomplished by the job holder and job specification is about the requirements from the job holder to acomplish the job.

Job descriptions describe the tasks to be carried out by the job holders. Job specifications describe the personal specifications of the job holders.

Job description: is a written statement that defines the duties, relationships and results expected of anyone in the job. It is an overall view of what is to be done in the job. Job Specification: is an analysis of the kind of person it takes to do the job, that is to say, it lists the qualifications. Typically this would include:Degree of education Desirable amount of previous experience in similar work Specific Skills required
