Fallout – Can a settler be assigned a bed AND a job or does it need to either or

fallout-4

I have plenty of beds but my settlers are unhappy but they also just sleep where ever. Plus some of my NPC's just quit their job and the item is unassigned, why is this? But my main question is: Can I assign a settler to a job and a bed or if I assign a settler to a bed will that leave the job open?

To answer your main question:
They can (and should) be assigned to both. Assigning a settler to a bed should not make them quit their job (and assigning them a job should not unassign their bed).

Settlers won't like not having a bed specifically assigned to them, but it largely won't impact how your settlement functions (although you'll get complaints of course, and it likely has a slight impact on happiness). But your focus should first be on assigning jobs (if you have any remaining, which you may not), as they will have a more direct impact on your settlement.
