Abstract

This study aimed to identify the reality of applying job description and job specification cards at Nasser Al-Qarawi Hospital in South Zawiya. The research problem was formulated through the following question: What are the obstacles that limit the application of job description and specification cards, and what is their impact on job performance in the institution under study?

The descriptive–analytical approach was employed, and data were collected using a questionnaire administered to the study population, which consisted of all employees at Nasser Al-Qarawi Hospital (45 employees). Due to the small size of the population, a comprehensive survey was conducted. A total of 28 questionnaires were returned, of which 2 were excluded due to incomplete data. Accordingly, 26 valid questionnaires were used for data analysis.

The statistical analysis results indicated that the calculated T-value (14.670) with a significance level of (.000), which is lower than the significance threshold (0.05), leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. This confirms the presence of a statistically significant effect of technical, human, and perceptual obstacles on job performance. The findings further reveal—based on simple linear regression tests—that each of the three types of obstacles independently contributes to reducing job performance.

The study recommends that the administration develop an approved staffing structure aligned with institutional needs, establish a clear vision defining the purpose of job description and job specification, and set a regular schedule for reviewing and updating these tools to ensure their effectiveness and sustainability.
