on internal comparisons.
๏ƒ˜Job evaluation - administrative procedure used to
measure internal job worth.
๏‚งThe evaluation process is composed of

account for differing importance of compensable
factors to the organization.

costs and create product-market
problems
If external market data are
emphasized and a job is paid
lower internally, comparisons that
employees make internally would
result in dissatisfaction.

will be critical for success and
market-competitive pressures.
