Identify four employee appraisal feedback sources in addition to an employee's direct manager. What might be a downside of incorporating this additional information?
What will be an ideal response?
Self-appraisals, peer appraisals, subordinate appraisals, and client or customer appraisals are used to supplement a manager's evaluation of an employee.
In a self-appraisal, an employee gives an assessment of his or her own performance. Peer appraisals, especially in team situations, can motivate employees and inform a manager's decision. Clients or customers can provide good insight into customer responsiveness and service performance. Subordinate appraisals give insight into leadership skills.
All these inputs can be useful, but they are only one aspect of the appraisal process and need to be taken collectively along with the manager's inputs. For example, subordinates may inflate feedback if job security is a concern or managers may treat subordinates differently if they are concerned about feedback. High levels of trust in an organization can mitigate these impacts.
