organizations. Therefore, it‘s useful to have some understanding of what is meant by

Q6. Write a short note on the following:
a) Flanholtz model (Rewards evaluation model)
b) Pekin Ogan model
Answer. a) FlanhoItz model (Rewards evaluation model)
The rewards evaluation model was suggested by FlanhoItz. It identifies the major variables that
determine an individual’s value to an organisation, or in other words, his expected reliable value.
Rewards evaluation model is certainly an improvement over the model suggested by Lev and
Schwarts. But when examined on operational capacity, this model falls short of a practical value in
as much as those probabilities will have to be determined for each individual occupying various
service states, and these probabilities will have to be determined for all employees for different
periods on an individual basis.
