Review of Job evaluation and employee rating

Abstract

Reviews the book, Job evaluation and employee rating by Richard C. Smyth and Matthew J. Murphy (1946). The authors of this book have produced a very readable work which devotes the first 167 pages in Part I to a discussion and analysis of job evaluation and the balance of 72 pages in Part II to employee rating or merit rating. In presenting this book, the authors have avoided making it an exhaustive manual of procedure. Neither have they burdened the reader with preponderant formal or theoretical justifications. Rather, they have accomplished a readable and informative discussion of some of the principal or characteristic problems involved in the use of these two management techniques which will appeal to readers desiring to supplement their information on job evaluation and merit rating practice.
