Types of Performance Information: • Trait-based – subjective character traits of of employees – attitude, initiative, or creativity • Behavior-based – specific behaviors that lead to job success – “verbal persuasion” • Results-based – employee accomplishments – for jobs in which measurement is easy & obvious.

  6. Performance Criteria Issues • Relevance – most focus on most important aspects of employees’ jobs. • Problems – deficient, contaminates, objective v. subjective measures. • Standards – define expected levels of performance -

  7. Performance Appraisal Process Issues • How used – (see figure 11-3, p. 343) • Formal v. Systematic – • Responsibilities & Timing Issues • Who should conduct appraisals? • Multisource (360 degree feedback )
