Review of How to evaluate supervisory jobs

Abstract

Reviews the book, How to evaluate supervisory jobs by Albert N. Gillett (1945). This publication is frankly a "How To" manual which is merely descriptive of the "final result . . . not the author's historical background of the development of an idea or numerous arguments substantiating his findings and conclusions." Its purpose is "first, to measure in relative terms the requirements and demands of supervisory and executive positions; second, to measure in the same relative terms the individual occupying . . . this position." Part I describes the job evaluation procedures, Part II describes how the individual is rated, and Part III presents a working kit of blank forms. The author's stated intention is to provide the rating specialist with "a complete text on the subject." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
