An experimental investigation of "point" job evaluation systems

Abstract

3 raters evaluated a sample of 82 jobs on 17 requirements. The study aim was to determine extent of influence through manipulation or forcing by evaluators. Both forced and unforced conditions were used. 5 factors emerged from the analysis in both conditions, with the 3 predominant factors in each being similar. "Forcing had the effect of increasing the job level variance from 86% in unforced ratings to 98% in forced ratings." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
