Job Evaluation - Traditional Approaches and Emerging Technology

The purpose of this publication is to communicate the rationale of job evaluation and wage administration,acceptable principles in their utilization, and various types of standard (and, recently evolved) plans and procedures. It is useful as a basic resource of concepts, ideas, facts and examples for experienced job analysts and wage administrators, as well as for the novice. Both the casual reader and the researcher should find a balance between theory and practice to meet the needs of both.
There are examples of several applications. Most offer an abundance of ideas and detail for application. It is neither recommended nor intended that these techniques be copied verbatim, but intelligently modified for specific use.
Six types of job evaluation systems are described, which can be further classified into three categories: Quantitative, Non-Quantitative, and Emerging Technology.
