a) Short note on
i) Job Specification
Job Specification is the delineation of the knowledge, skills, and abilities
along with the associated education, training, and experience required to
successfully perform within a position. The stipulated criterion normally
constitutes the minimum recruiting criteria or minimum qualifications for the
position.
Job Specification contains or consists of the following information:1. Personal characteristics such as education, job experience, age, gender,
extracurricular activities, etc.
2. Physical characteristics such as height, weight, vision, hearing, fitness,
health, etc.
3. Mental characteristics such as general intelligence (IQ), memory,
judgment, foresight, etc.
4. Social and Psychological characteristics such as emotional ability,
flexibility, manners, creativity, group behavior, etc.
Job specification tells what kind of person is required for a given job. It serves
as a guide in the recruitment and selection process. It also helps in training
and appraisal of the employee. Organizations generally tend to specify
relatively high requirements for formal education and training with the result
that highly qualified personnel end up doing routine jobs. Despite these
problems, it is necessary to specify for every job the minimum acceptable
human qualities.
For Example:

and their motivation is dependent upon how well they are being paid.
Therefore the main objective of job evaluation is to have external and
internal consistency in salary structure so that inequalities in salaries are
reduced.
Specialization - Because of division of labor and thereby specialization,
a large number of enterprises have got hundred jobs and many
employees to perform them. Therefore, an attempt should be made to
define a job and thereby fix salaries for it. This is possible only through job
evaluation.
Helps in selection of employees - The job evaluation information can
be helpful at the time of selection of candidates. The factors that are
determined for job evaluation can be taken into account while selecting
the employees.
Harmonious relationship between employees and manager Through job evaluation, harmonious and congenial relations can be
maintained between employees and management, so that all kinds of
salaries controversies can be minimized.
Standardization - The process of determining the salary differentials for
different jobs become standardized through job evaluation. This helps in
bringing uniformity into salary structure.
Relevance of new jobs - Through job evaluation, one can understand
the relative value of new jobs in a concern.

Range of the factors (for each factor, some jobs would be at the low end
of the factor while others would be at the high end of the factor). This
process establishes the rate of pay for each factor for each benchmark
job. Slight adjustments may need o be made to the matrix to ensure
equitable dollar weighting of the factors. The other jobs in the
organization are then compared with the benchmark jobs and rates of pay
for each factor are summed to determine the rates of pay for each of the
other jobs.
Advantages:
The value of the job is expressed in monetary terms.
Can be applied to a wide range of jobs.
Can be applied to newly created jobs. Disadvantages
The pay for each factor is based on judgements that are subjective.
The standard used for determining the pay for each factor may have build
in biases that would affect certain groups of employees (females or
minorities).
4. Point Method - A set of compensable factors are identified as
determining the worth of jobs. Typically the compensable factors include the
major categories of:
Skill, Responsibilities, Effort, Working Conditions
These factors can then be further defined.
Skill, Experience, Education, Ability, Responsibilities, Fiscal, Supervisory,
Effort, Mental, Physical, Working Conditions, Location, Hazards, Extremes in
Environment
The point method is an extension of the factor comparison method. Each
factor is then divided into levels or degrees which are then assigned points.
Each job is rated using the job evaluation instrument. The points for each
factor are summed to form a total point score for the job. Jobs are then
grouped by total point scores and assigned to wage/salary grades so that
similarly rated jobs would be placed in the same wage/salary grade.
Advantages
