IMPORTANCE OF JOB EVALUATION
Job
Evaluation involves determination of relative worth of each job for the purpose
of establishing wage and salary differentials. Relative worth is determined
mainly on the basis of Job Description and Job Specification only.
1. Reduce Income Problem/ Issues: In the words of Bryan Livy, “Job evaluation seeks to
highlights significant problem between units of work on a comparative basis and
so produce a more equitable distribution of income within an organisation than
might be obtained by more arbitrary methods.”
2. Standardization: The
process of determining the salary differentials for different jobs become
standardized through job evaluation. This helps in bringing uniformity into salary
structure.
3. Useful in Collective Bargaining: According to Edwin B. Flippo “Job evaluation and
collective bargaining are not incompatible; they can and do exist within the
same organisation. Job evaluation would reduce the area of collective bargaining
by systematizing the determination of internal consistency, which bargaining by
systematizing the determination of internal consistency, which is concerned
with proper wage differentials. Collective bargaining must still work to attain
the objective of external consistency, the raising or lowering of the entire
wage structure. Job evaluation should determine the shape of the wage structure
and collective bargaining the location of the entire structure as a unit.”
4. Specialization: Because
of division of labour and thereby specialization, a large number of enterprises
have got hundred jobs and many employees to perform them. Therefore, an attempt
should be made to define a job and thereby fix salaries for it. This is
possible only through job evaluation.
5. Implement a pay structure: Once the job evaluation is complete, its data become the
nucleus for the development of the organisation’s pay structure. It is very
useful tool for the very organisations. It divided the employee’s salary
according to their role which is they done in the organisation.
6. Contingency of new jobs: Through job evaluation, one can understand the relative value
of new jobs in a concern.
