What are the pitfalls of job evaluation?

Job evaluation suffers from many criticisms which include:

a. It encourages employees to focus on ‘how to advance in position’ in the organization at the time when there may be only limited opportunities for enhancement as a result of downsizing.

b. It promotes internal focus

c. It is not suitable for forward looking organization that has trimmed multiple job title into two or three broad jobs.

d. Elaborated exercise of wage and salary fixation through job evaluation can be dispensed. Salaries can be fixed by adopting going rates.
