Hi Vedha,

Personally i believe, the negative impacts could be,

The right person for the right job will not be possible.
It reduces the motivation level of the employees.
Possibility for multi tasking could not be understood.
The employee development could not be achieved as the training needs cannot be analyzed.
Performance standards could not be set without knowing the tasks to be performed for a given job.

Regards,

Lavanya.
