Geneva scheme
The Geneva scheme is the basis for the identification of requirements and job evaluation proposed in 1950 at the job evaluation meeting of the “ International Labor Organization ” in Geneva . The Geneva scheme mainly evaluates the aspects of “ ability ” and “ stress ”. These are related to the workplace , more precisely to the activities to be performed. For example, an interpreter needs i. d. Usually a higher stress tolerance than a translator because the customer contact is more direct, reaction times in seconds are required and several levels of multitasking (listening, understanding, translating, speaking, remembering) are required. The job evaluation on the basis of the Geneva Scheme becomes relevant when it comes to recording and measuring the work value of a specific job in comparison with other jobs on the basis of generally applicable types of requirements.
Geneva Scheme criteria
The criteria can be divided into four requirement categories:
- mental requirements (specialist knowledge, reflection),
- physical demands (skill, muscle strain, nerve and sensory strain),
- Responsibility (e.g. for resources, safety and health of others) and
- Working conditions (temperatures, moisture, dirt, etc.).
The criteria can be divided into the following areas:
- intellectual ability,
- mental stress,
- physical ability,
- physical strain,
- Responsibility as well
- Environmental influences.
| Can | burden | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Spiritual demands | × | × |
| 2. Physical demands | × | × |
