Job analysis of paraprofessional practice in Israel

Abstract

This article deals with the issue of job analysis of two paraprofessional groups in Israel. The subjects—37 street gang workers and 31 homemakers—were randomly chosen from a list of social service workers in Israel. Using a revised job analysis questionnaire (Teare, 1981), subjects were required to indicate what they did and to assess the importance of their roles. The results indicated the level of the involvement of these two groups in a wide range of roles in the social services. The nature of the activities is determined in some degree by the standing of the groups in the professional hierarchy. In some cases, paraprofessionals perform roles other than those that were expected, a circumstance that reflects their aspirations toward higher professional status
