Which level comes immediately after 'Job' in the hierarchical structure?

• A. Occupation
• B. Duty
• C. Task
• D. Sub-Task

Answer: (B)

Understanding how a job is structured helps you see how tasks fit into larger responsibilities. In this hierarchy, a job represents a broad function that includes several major responsibilities. Those major responsibilities are called duties. Each duty is then broken down into specific actions (tasks), and each task can be divided into smaller steps (sub-tasks). So the level that comes immediately after a job is the duty, because duties are the primary responsibilities that together define what the job entails. Occupation is a broader category that encompasses many jobs, while tasks and sub-tasks come later when detailing how duties are performed.
