• Implies that lowest-ranked employees are unsatisfactory
performers.
• Becomes an unwieldy process if the group to be ranked is large.

14. Comparative Methods (cont’d)
Forced Distribution
Performance appraisal method in which ratings of
employees are distributed along a bell-shaped curve.
Drawbacks
• Assumes a normal distribution of performance.
• Resistance by managers to placing individuals in the lowest or
highest groups.
• Providing explanation for placement in a higher or lower
grouping can be difficult.
• Is not readily applicable to small groups of employees.

16. 3. Narrative Methods
Critical Incident
Manager keeps a written record of highly favorable and unfavorable
employee actions.
Drawbacks
• Variations in how managers define a “critical incident”
• Time involved in documenting employee actions
• Most employee actions are not observed and may become different if
observed
• Employee concerns about manager’s “black books”
Essay
Manager writes a short essay describing an employee’s performance.
Drawback
• Depends on the managers’ writing skills and their ability to express
themselves.

17. 4. Behavioral/Objective Methods
Behavioral Rating Approach
Assesses employees’ behaviors instead of other
characteristics
Consists of a series of scales created by:
• Identifying important job dimensions
• Creating statements describing a range of desired and
undesirable behaviors (anchors)
Types of behavioral scales
• Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS)
• Behavioral observation scales (BOS)
• Behavioral expectation scales (BES)

19. Management by Objectives (MBO)
Management by Objectives
Specifying the performance goals that an individual and
his or her manager agree the employee will to try to
attain within an appropriate length of time.
Key MBO Ideas
Employee involvement creates higher levels of
commitment and performance.
Encourages employees to work effectively toward
achieving desired results.
Performance measures should be measurable and should
define results.

22. Problems in PA (Rater Error)
Recency/Primary Effect
- Recency effect – the rater gives greater weight to recent events
when appraising an individual’s performance.
- Primary effect – info. received first gets the most weight.
Central tendency
- rating all employees in a narrow range in the middle of the rating
scale
Leniency/Strictness
- Leniency – rating all employees fall at the high end of the scale.
- Strictness – a manager uses only the lower part of the scale to rate
employees.
Rater Bias
- when a rater’s values or prejudices distort the rating.
22
23. Halo Effect
- rating a person high on all items because of
performance in one area.
Contrast Error
- tendency to rate people relative to others rather than
against performance standards.
Similar to/Different from Me Error
- raters are influenced by whether people show the
same or different characteristics from the rater.
