Job Analysis Survey Background Respondent Demographics We had a strong response to the 2016-2017 Job Analysis Survey: the sample size, including non-U.S. participants, was 24,827. The final analysis sample included data from 1,673 respondents. Respondents tended to be female (64%), employed by a management company (64%), and based in the U.S. (96%). A small percentage reported that they own a management company (11%). Most respondents were older (46 years of age or older; 63%), had been employed as a CAM for 5 or more years (74%), and possessed some college education or a bachelor’s degree (76%). Respondents tended to manage association staff sizes of six or fewer (73%). One-third indicated they manage a single association while 59% manage two or more. Methodology The 2016-2017 Job Analysis was conducted with the help of CAMICB’s Exam Development Committee (EDC). The Committee is comprised of 22 highly experienced Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), including international SMEs, familiar with the CMCA test development process, test blueprint, and current professional issues. This study was carried out in partnership with HumRRO, a non-profit research and consulting firm dedicated to supporting quality testing and training programs that improve human, occupational, and organizational effectiveness. The Job Analysis methodology involves collecting and aggregating information and insights from job incumbents and occupational experts to determine the content specifications for the test blueprint. This process is illustrated in the graphic below. A major component of the process is an electronic survey to gather ratings of tasks and knowledge requirements from association management professionals around the world. Results of the survey were reviewed with the EDC to obtain their input and judgments regarding current trends in the profession and the importance of the knowledge for competent performance in the field. The Community Association Managers International Certification Board (CAMICB) is a 20-year old independent board that sets the standards for community association managers worldwide.
