This book was released on 1960 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Job evaluation has been described as a psychological process closely resembling those which have been subjected to experimentation both in the laboratory and in practical situations. It is based on the psychophysical method of single stimuli. Predictions from previous research indicate that the evaluation of job receives is most reliable when it is judged in a group with other jobs, and that the composition of this group influences the evaluation it receives. If the presence of these context effects in job evaluation is verified, the next step is to design an adequate procedure for their control. Determination of the optimal method of representing the job to the rater and an examination of the effects of residual factors, such as familiarity of the rater with the job being rated, may also suggest changes in current job evaluation procedures. All of these phenomena should be considered in their relationship to Air Force job-evaluation procedures.

Download or read book Reliability of Job Evaluation Ratings as a Function of Number of Raters written by Raymond E. Christal and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliabilities of single ratings and pooled ratings of Air Force job evaluation factors were estimated from ratings on 50 Air Force specialties by student officers attending the Command and Staff School. The Spearman-Brown prophecy formula was found to produce reliability estimates which were practically identical to those obtained by randomly drawing samples and computing the reliability for each one. The inter-rater and rate-rerate reliability of the Air Force job evaluation system was found to be adequate when the composites were based upon an average of the ratings made by 10 to 15 officers at the USAF Command and Staff School. The reliability of such mean ratings did not rise appreciably as the number of raters was increased beyond 20. When the basis of rating was a full-length job description, the raters tended to assign higher values than when they based their ratings on a brief Specialty Summary. However, the rank ordering of the specialties remained essentially unchanged. Reliability of the ratings was approximately the same whether long or short job descriptions were used.
Download or read book Effect of Degree of Familiarity in Job Evaluation written by Raymond E. Christal and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant association between the familiarity of the rater with a job and the ratings he assigns to the job was found for 17 of 50 Air Force specialties. Assuming that the most valid ratings are those given by highly familiar raters, it appears that highly technical jobs tend to be under-evaluated by raters who are unfamiliar with the work performed. On the other hand, some jobs ten to be over-evaluated by raters who are unfamiliar with the work performed. These findings point to the necessity for controlling the level of familiarity when job evaluation is conducted.

Download or read book A Comparison of Three Methods of Rating scale Construction written by Joseph M. Madden and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four job evaluation factors were used as the basis of rating 10 Air Force specialties. For each factor three different methods were used in constructing the scale: (1) each scale division was defined and illustrated; (2) neither scale division definitions nor examples were used; and (3) definitions were used but the examples were omitted. Ratings by samples of aviation cadets were analyzed for effects of method on mean ratings. For three of the four factors, the mean ratings obtained were not different as a function of the method of scale construction. Methods 1 and 3 were about equally reliable, both yielding more reliable means than method 2. Method 3 is suggested as being the most effective because the task of the rater is somewhat simpler than for method 1 and the reliability is higher than for method 2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine how the reliability of ratings is affected by fractionating a multidimensional rating factor, the complex job-evaluation factor, Knowledge, was split into four simpler factors: Formal Education, Special Education, On-the-Job Training, and Work Experience. Aviation cadets' ratings of 42 Air Force specialties on these four factors were somewhat more reliable than ratings on the original multidimensional Knowledge factor. Maximum reliability of rater judgments is suggested as one criterion for the most desirable level of fractionation of a complex factor.
Download or read book Context Effects in Job Evaluation written by Joseph Matthew Madden and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judgments may be distorted by a variety of influences. One potent influence is the context in which the object judged is place. When a list of jobs is being evaluated in a job-evaluation program, each job is presented to the rater in the context of all the remaining jobs on the list. This study demonstrates that jobs may be listed together in such a way as to seriously bias evaluation scores. When a list is composed of all high-value jobs, the obtained evaluation scores were lower than the "true" ones. When a list was composed of all low-value jobs, the evaluation scores were higher. On lists containing a majority of high-value jobs, the low-value jobs were judged even lower; and the reverse was true when the list contained a majority of low-value jobs. Other types of context effects were also observed. Suggestions were made for the control of context effects in the Air Force job-evaluation program.
