Answer:E) the Position Analysis Questionnaire.

Explanation:The Position Analysis Questionnaire is a structured job analysis questionnaire that aids the user in conducting a quantified analysis of a given job. To complete a job analysis using the Position Analysis Questionnaire, the user reviews background information, observes the job, and conducts thorough interviews with job incumbents to determine job content then rates the extent to which each item on a standard list of Position Analysis Questionnaire job elements applies to that particular job. There are six types of rating scales used in the Position Analysis Questionnaire: Extent of Use; Importance to This Job; Amount of Time; Possibility of Occurrence; Applicability; and Item-Specific scales.
