A way of estimating how much a person should be paid based on what they do.

• A. Job-Content-Based Job Evaluation
• B. Job Requisition
• C. Joint Venture
• D. Job Shadowing

Answer: (A)

Pay should be set by evaluating the job itself—the duties, responsibilities, required knowledge and skills, effort, and working conditions—to assign its value. This approach, known as a job-content-based job evaluation, focuses on what the role requires rather than who fills it or external market prices. By analyzing the job's requirements, you create a fair, internally consistent pay structure that reflects the relative value of different roles within the organization. Other options don’t address pay based on the job’s requirements: a request to hire is about filling a vacancy, not determining compensation; a joint venture is a business partnership; and job shadowing is simply observing someone else perform the work for learning.
