| Abstract: |
Subjects evaluated 23 benchmark
jobs on 10 dimensions after either receiving training or no
training in job evaluation and after being given only a title,
only a job description, or both a title and job description.
The amount of information affected primarily the accuracy and
reliability of the ratings. Those given both a title and a job
description were generally more accurate and reliable in their
ratings than those given only a title. Trained subjects
demonstrated less leniency and greater dispersion than did
those who were untrained. Although training affected primarily
the distribution of ratings, the most accurate and reliable
subjects tended to be those who received training as well as
full information in the form of a job description and title.
