Document Summary
Many levels and hierarchical communication channels and career paths. Highly specialized jobs with narrowly defined job descriptions. Broadly defined jobs, with general job descriptions. Internal alignment (internal equity): the relationship between the jobs within a single organization. The relationships from a job structure that: supports organization strategy, supports the workflow, motivates behaviour of employees. Work flow: process by which goods and services are delivered to the customer. Pay structure: the array of pay rates for different work or skills within a single organization, the number of levels, the differentials in pay between the levels and the criteria used to determine these differences create the structure. Structures vary between organizations: the number of levels of work, the pay differentials between the levels, the criteria used to determine those levels and differentials (job- or person based) These are the factors that a manager may vary to design a structure that supports the work flow, is fair, and directs employee behaviours toward objectives.
