A task analysis was conducted to determine the extent to which six jobs from a single classification in one organization were similar in their task composition. Of the six jobs studied, MAN‐OVA results demonstrated that five were significantly different. Follow‐up analyses indicated that there were practically significant differences between the jobs. These results suggested that selection options would be affected and that differing training and evaluation procedures should be used. The practical implications of these findings for selection, training, performance appraisal and job grouping are discussed.
