A wage model consisted of job evaluation employee characteristics and job performance
Abstract
Although
several substantial attempts, there is still a lack of research investigating
of how employee characteristics and performance are integrated into a wage
structure. In this study, it is intended to develop a salary model that creates
a wage level from overall score consisting of job evaluation, employee
characteristics and job performance in order to ensure wage fairness and also
enhance employee’ satisfaction. In the first phase, a point factor job
evaluation system including sixteen factors was adapted to determine the job
scores of the white-collar jobs within a company. The score generates a basic
payment. There will be extra pay for the staff who are well educated and
experienced for the job. A method producing a score from employee
characteristics in terms of “education” and “experience” factors was developed.
Job performance was measured with how an employee achieves the task activities
for eleven job evaluation factors. These three components were integrated to a
composite score to translate a wage
level. The system was implemented in a middle sized manufacturing company for
white-collar jobs. The results indicated that the job point has significantly
greater influence on wage level.
