The Job Description Index (JDI) technique is used for measuring which of the following?

Job attitudes
Job descriptions/definitions
Job analysis records
Job skill requirements

The correct answer is A. Job attitudes.

The Job Description Index (JDI) is a questionnaire used to measure job satisfaction. It was developed by Smith, Kendall, and Hulin in 1969. The JDI consists of 72 items that are grouped into five subscales: satisfaction with the work itself, satisfaction with pay, satisfaction with supervision, satisfaction with co-workers, and satisfaction with promotion opportunities.

The JDI is a well-validated instrument that has been used in a variety of settings, including organizations, schools, and hospitals. It is a reliable and valid measure of job satisfaction.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • B. Job descriptions/definitions are not measured by the JDI. The JDI measures job satisfaction, not job descriptions/definitions.
  • C. Job analysis records are not measured by the JDI. The JDI measures job satisfaction, not job analysis records.
  • D. Job skill requirements are not measured by the JDI. The JDI measures job satisfaction, not job skill requirements.
