WHAT IS JOB EVALUATION?


WHAT IS JOB EVALUATION?

            A systematic, formal process that allows organisations to compare jobs to others across the company and the industry. Job evaluation is often seen as the foundation for a fair and efficient pay framework. Job evaluation is a term which is applied to a number of distinct but related administrative methods which rank or assess the relative value of different jobs or occupations. Job evaluation is a systematic and orderly process of determining the worth of a job in relation to other jobs. The objective of this process is to determine the correct rate of pay. To remind that job analysis is the process of describing the duties of a job authority relationship, skills required, conditions of work etc.

      In the words of Kimball and Kimball, “Job evaluation represent an effort to determine the relative value of every job in an plant to determine what the fair basic wage for such a job should be.”


     According to Wendell French. “Job evaluation is a process of determining the relative worth of the various job within the organisation, so that difference wages may be paid to jobs of different worth.”

According to British Institute of Management, “Job evaluation is the process, analysis and assessment of the job to ascertain reliably their relative importance using the assessment as a basis for balanced wage structure.”
      In the words of Dale Yoder, "Job evaluation is a practice which seeks to provide a degree of objectivity in measuring the comparative value of jobs within an organisation and among similar organisations."

      In the words of Edwin B. Flippo. "Job evaluation is a systematic and orderly process of determining the worth of a job in relation to other jobs."

According to Bureau of Labour Statistics, "Job evaluation is the evaluation or rating of job to determine their position in job hierarchy. The evaluation may be achievement through assignment of points or the use of some other systematic rating method for essential job requirements such as skill, experience and responsibility."

            Job evaluation is an orderly and systematic technique which aims at determining the worth of various jobs in the organisation. In other words, it is a formal system of determining the base compensation of jobs. “Job evaluation may be defined as an attempt to determine and compare the demands which the normal performance of particular jobs makes on normal workers without taking into account of the individual abilities or performance of the workers concerned.” —International Labour Office (ILO). Job evaluation may be defined as the process of determining the demands in terms of efforts and abilities which the normal performance of a job makes on normal workers. The demand made on the workers by a particular job is the worth of that job. Job evaluation rates the job and not the job-holder.

Mintzberg’s Modes of Strategic Decision-Making

  Mintzberg’s Modes of Strategic Decision-Making 1. Entrepreneurial Mode: Strategy is made by one powerful individual who has entrepreneurial competencies like innovation and risk-taking. The focus is on opportunities. Problems are secondary. Generally, the founder is the entrepreneur, and the strategy is guided by his or her own vision of direction and is exemplified by bold decisions. 2. Adaptive Mode: Sometimes referred to as “muddling through,” this decision-making model is characterized by reactive solutions to existing problems, rather than a proactive search for new opportunities. Much bargaining goes on concerning priorities of objectives. The strategy is fragmented and is developed to move the corporation forward incrementally. 3. Planning Mode: This decision-making model involves the systematic gathering of appropriate information for situation analysis, the generation of feasible alternative strategies, and the rational selection of the most appropriate strategy. It incl...

  What Are Best Practices?             Best practices are a set of guidelines, ethics, or ideas that represent the most efficient or prudent course of action, in a given business situation. Best practices may be established by authorities, such as regulators or governing bodies, or they may be internally decreed by a company's management team.             “A best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are superior to those achieved by other means, or because it has become a standard way of doing things, e.g., a standard way of complying with legal or ethical requirements.
