Reliability and comparability of different job evaluation systems

Abstract

Job analysts from 9 industrial firms rated 35 standard clerical, administrative, and supervisory jobs on a standard point rating manual using 12 factors. Raters in 6 of the 9 companies than rated the 35 jobs, using their own company manuals. Reliability coefficients for the standard manual ranged from .93 to .99. Labor grade fluctuations were 2.0 or less for 86% of the jobs. Correlations between each factor and total score of the standard manual for data from 3 companies suggested high factor reliability. Intercorrelations among 6 different company job evaluation systems ranged from .89 to .97. 6 references. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
