A group of parameters or factors are measured to describe the organisation
that contains the job being assessed. The factors measure the diversity of
the organisation’s product/service range and the markets it serves. The
size of the organisation is also measured. These factors are used to assess
the skill required to manage the organisation at various levels of impact on
the organisation.
The factors are:
When selecting the organisation parameters applicable to a specific job,
the philosophy of the Jobscore system is that each individual job, however
small, makes some contribution to the entire organisation. For example,
whether it be the cleaner, the receptionist, the person who delivers the
organisation's product to the customer, or the chief executive, they all
have an impact on the organisation's image or efficiency, to some lesser
or greater degree.
The organisation to consider when evaluating a particular job is the largest
unit upon which the the position could reasonably have any influence. For
example, the head gardener for a large hospital can contribute to the image
and perception of the entire complex, as can the switchboard receptionist,
and as can the chief medical officer. In all three cases the entire
hospital is the releval organisation.
