Technique Overview
Job Evaluation Definition
Job evaluation describes "a systematic process that enables the design and establishment of human resources improvement procedures and fair reward systems" and thereby "concerns the assessment of a value system that encapsulates the importance of the parameters that reflect the global responsibilities and duties of a job" (Spyridakos et al., 2001: 376). In other words, job evaluation is a tool to design effective compensation plans (Das and Garcia Diaz, 2001). If used correctly it helps "to provide a firm base on which to build an equitable wage and salary structure" (El Hajji, 2011a:8).
