Document Summary

Chapter 5 job-based structures and job evaluation. A related group of jobs, for example, production, engineering, or marketing, will be the focus of job evaluation. A single, universal plan may not be acceptable to employees if the work covered is highly diverse. An organization may start with a sample of benchmark jobs; identified for as many levels in the structure and groups of related jobs (office, production, engineering) as possible. Benchmark job: a job whose contents are well known, relatively stable, and common across different employers. A representative sample of benchmark jobs includes the entire domain of work being evaluated office, production and captures the diversity of the work within that domain. Diversity in work can be thought of in terms of depth (vertically) and breadth (horizontally) The depth of work in most organizations ranges from strategic leadership jobs to filing and mail distribution tasks in entry-level office jobs.
