FACTOR 5 – SCOPE AND EFFECT

This factor covers the relationships between the nature of work; i.e., the purpose, breadth and depth of the assignment, and the effect of work products or services both within and outside the organization.  Effect measures such things as whether the work output facilitates the work of others, provides timely services of a personal nature, or impacts on the adequacy of research conclusions.  The concept of effect alone does not provide sufficient information to properly understand and evaluate the impact of the position.  The scope of the work completes the picture allowing consistent evaluations.  Only consider the effect of properly performed work.  The primary components of this factor are:  Scope of the Work and Effect of the Work.
