The Attempt of the First Edition construct an organized presentation of the field of 106 has met with gratifying acceptance. Accordingly. we have retained the plan of the first edition. We the principles and meaning of various systems of job evaluation and pointed out the individual steps necessary in and salary administration procedures based on job emphasis on practical, tested, "how-to-do-it" retained and, we trust, improved; for it has become app those who use this book desire suitable attention to mechanical, as well as to general principles. In order to stimulate the application of the principles procedures of job evaluation to practical situations case problems at the end of each chapter have been added in this edition. Any similarity of the facts in any case problem to those in any given company is purely coincidental. The technique of job evaluation is now widely accepted as sound and effective business procedure. The administration of the pay systems thus established is a recognized function in a large segment of modern industrial management. It has seemed logical, therefore to resist any impulse to include in the scope of this work associated material in other very closely related activities in industrial relations, personnel, and general management. We have attempted to limit references to merit rating, collective bargaining, incentive pay systems, and so on, to the material necessary to describe the liaison between job evaluation and these other fields. Many of these related fields are covered in books devoted solely to the subject or as major sections of more general treatises.
