Question

Frank is ready to conduct a job evaluation, and he wants to employ the most frequently used approach to job evaluation. Frank should use:

A) the point system.
B) the plot system.
C) comparable worth.
D) competency modeling.

Answer 1

Frank should use the point system for job evaluation, which is the most frequently used method where job components are quantified to rank jobs. The department store manager's survey is a cluster survey design, where whole departments are randomly selected and every employee within them is interviewed. Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most frequently used approach to job evaluation that Frank should use is A) the point system. This method assigns a numerical value to specific job components, such as skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions. Points are awarded for each component, and the sum of these points provides a composite score that is used to rank jobs and help determine equitable pay.

The manager of a department store who decides to measure employee satisfaction by selecting four departments at random and conducting interviews with all the employees in those departments is using A. Cluster survey design. In this approach, the entire population is divided into groups (clusters) and a random sample of these groups is selected. All members of the chosen clusters are then surveyed, which in this case are the departments.
