Work Sampling

Work sampling is a statistical technique used to determine the proportion of time workers spend in various defined categories of activity. It involves making a large number of random observations at intervals to analyze, recognize, and enhance job responsibilities, tasks, performance, competencies, work flows, and organizational characteristics. Some key characteristics of work sampling include allowing sufficient time for the study, observing multiple workers, studying tasks with long cycle times, and analyzing non-repetitive work cycles. The number of observations needed is determined using a formula that considers the desired accuracy level and confidence level for results.

sampling
After the work elements are defined, the
number of observations for the desired
accuracy at the desired confidence level must
be determined. The formula used in this
method is:
= standard error of proportion
p = percentage of idle time
q = percentage of working time
n = number of observations
