Специфика деятельности и рабочих задач специалистов

English translation: Specific activity and work assignments of specialists

Russian term or phrase: Специфика деятельности и рабочих задач специалистов
Специфика деятельности и рабочих задач специалистов из разных отделов.

Это один из параметров, по которым данные сводились в таблицу. Как бы эту фразу лучше перевести без многократного повторения предлога of. Если написать, например, specificity of activity and working tasks... не будет ли это понято как специфика деятельности и рабочие задачи? Или всё-таки повторить of?

English translation:Specific activity and work assignments of specialists
Explanation:
If you prefer the original construction, for some reason, it could be:
"Details of specialists' activity and work assignments."

Or, if "details" doesn't fit the context, you could write it as:
"Specific features of..." - but, that takes up more space.

Or, "Nature of..."

"Specificity" is not good in this context.

Or, leave it out: "Specialists' activity and work assignments"

Now that I think of it, it's probably best to add an article:

Description of the activities and professional responsibilities of specialists

IMHO, "Description of activities" is more to the point than "Specific activity". Also, I think that it's better to use the plural "activities" here.
