Researchers have recently begun to address various aspects of job analysis accuracy by investigating such things as potential sources of inaccuracy in job analysis as well as attempting to reconceptualize our notions of job analysis accuracy. This article adds to the debate by ®rst discussing how job analysis accuracy has been conceptualized. This points to diculties in the prevalent `true score' model upon which many of these discussions have been based. We suggest that discussions of job analysis accuracy would bene®t from a consideration of the validity of job analysis inferences, as a complement to the more traditional focus on the validity of job analysis data. Toward this end, we develop a model of the inferences made in the job analysis process, outline some of the ways these inference could be tested, and discuss implications of this perspective.
