Distinguish between validity and reliability in rating reports
What will be an ideal response?
Validity: A valid report is one that is an accurate measurement of the ability it purports to measure. Valid reports actually reflect the officer's value to the organization in terms of specific traits that are related to his work, such as amiability, industry, attention to duty, and cooperativeness. If the report is truly valid, it will not measure something it is not supposed to measure.
Reliability: A rating report is said to be reliable if it measures consistently and reasonably accurately (even if not perfectly) each time it is used. If several persons using the same information rate an individual substantially the same, their ratings would be a reliable measure of the employee's abilities; however, raters rarely have the same abilities to observe, collect, and report evidence regarding the performance of subordinates with the same degree of accuracy and objectivity.
