In this way a job hierarchy is established in an organization and a purpose being the fixation of satisfactory wage differentials among various jobs. Job holders are you know rated through performance appraisal. Now let us discuss about job evaluation process. Job evaluation process actually starts with defining objectives of evaluations and ends with establishing wage and salary differentials. The main objective of job analysis as I have already stated is to establish satisfactory wage and salary differentials. Job analysis you know should proceed the actual program of evaluation. Job analysis as we have discussed in the first part of the video provides job related data which would be you know useful in drafting the job description and also the job specification. A job evaluation program involves answering several questions like which jobs are to be evaluated, who should evaluate the job, what training do the evaluators need, how much time is involved and what should be the criteria for evaluation then what methods of evaluation are to be employed. So these are the some of the questions that you know to be answered in the process of job evaluation program. When we talk about job enrichment it consists of designing the job in such a way that the worker gets greater autonomy for planning and controlling his or her own performance. The greater motivation for the employee according to this method is an opportunity for achievement you know recognition, responsibility and growth. Job enrichment is a method technique which emphasis the need for you know challenging the interesting work it suggests that jobs be redesigned so that the intrinsic satisfaction is derived from doing the job. In its best application it leads to vertically enhanced job by adding functions from other organizational level making it you know contain more variety and you know challenging and offer autonomy and pride to the employee. In job enrichment the job holder is given a measure of you know discretion in making operational decisions you know concerning his or her job and in this sense he or she gains a feeling of higher status and influence and power. There are certain advantages and also some disadvantages of job enrichment let us first discuss about the advantages of job enrichment. The first would be job enrichment is the most widely used method of job design because it provides a meaningful work experience and learning to the employees. It makes the work more interesting it helps in reducing the rate of you know labour turnover and absenteeism it increases skills of the employees and the workers get a higher job satisfaction as you know redesigned job provide intrinsic motivation to the employees. And lastly organization gets improvement in the output both qualitative and quantitative. So these are some of the advantages of job enrichment. Now let us discuss some of the disadvantages of job enrichment. The enriched jobs may fail to motivate employees who are alienated and who prefer you know job security you know the shorter work than bonus and good pay to autonomy and responsibility. For such employees job enrichment may lead to feelings of sometimes inadequacy sometimes may fail failure or dependence you know they may consider it an additional burden without appropriate compensation. Second disadvantage would be you know job enrichment may make a work more difficult and therefore proper training should be provided to the employee to handle the enriched job. In certain cases job enrichment proves to be very costly process as the expenditure involved is very high than the gain in the productivity. It may sometimes not be possible to enrich all the jobs specially the technical jobs with you know special specialized machinery. So job enrichment you know does not necessarily mean job satisfaction jobs of highly skilled professionals are very challenging in nature and but it does not mean that they are always satisfied with their job. So these are few disadvantages but they are more advantages of job enrichment. So the organizations follow job enrichment method.
