Correct Answer: (i) Point Rating Method

Explanation (2 Marks):

Job Evaluation = systematic process to determine relative worth of jobs for wage fixation.

Methods: Two categories

  1. Non-Quantitative:

    • Ranking Method, Job Classification/Grading
  2. Quantitative/Analytical:

    • Point Rating Method → Most popular. Breaks job into compensable factors (skill, effort, responsibility, working conditions), assigns points/scale, total points gives job value.
    • Factor Comparison Method

Why others not:

  • (ii) PESTLE → Macro-environment analysis
  • (iii) SWOT → Strategic planning tool
  • (iv) McGregor X & Y → Motivation/leadership theory

Hence Point Rating Method is a job evaluation method.
