I'm going with 'job evaluation' too. If the employees feel like they're being pigeonholed, that's a telltale sign. Although, I have to wonder if they're just looking for an excuse to avoid extra work. Might be time for some team-building exercises!

Ah, the joys of workplace politics. I'd have to agree with Truman and Jamal - 'job evaluation' seems like the culprit here. Gotta love those rigid job descriptions!

Ah, the old 'that's not my job' excuse. Classic. I'd have to go with 'job evaluation' on this one - it's the method that tends to keep people focused on their narrowly defined roles.

Hmm, this sounds like a classic case of employees feeling stuck in their roles and unwilling to take on new responsibilities. Based on the options, I would say that 'job evaluation' is the pay method most likely to be associated with this kind of response.
