Unit 9: Job Evaluation

4. Job factors fluctuate because of changes in production technology, information Notes
systems and division of labour and such other factors. In other words, continuing
attention and frequent evaluation of a job are essential.
5. Job evaluation takes a long time to install, requires specialised technical personnel,
and may be costly.

6. When job evaluation is done for the first time in the organization, it creates doubts
and fear in the minds of the people who are being evaluated. It may disrupt the
existing social and psychological relationship.
7. When job evaluation results in substantial changes in the existing wage structure,
the possibility of implementing these changes in a relatively short period may be
restricted by the financial limits within which the firm has to operate.
