Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

Question

1. Evaluations of performance improvement intervention programs conducted in the HPI context more likely focus on the program’s worth rather than the program’s merit.
2. Assessments of project feasibility and risk factors should be conducted after the identification phase of an evaluation project is complete.
3. Anastasia has requested that you conduct asummative evaluation of her revised on-boarding program for newly hired forklift operators at the Crossroads Distribution Center. The on-boarding program was revised and implemented two months ago. So far, three new forklift operators have completed it. She wants to see if the revised on-boarding program has helped decrease the operator turnover rate down to 20% and reduce the annual accidents to zero. The current annual turnover rate is 45% and the annual accident rate is eight.
It is feasible to conduct a summative evaluation of the revised forklift operator on-boarding program at this time.
4. After the SOW is approved, the evaluator moves onto the implementation phase of the evaluation project.

Answer 1

1. True
Evaluations of performance improvement intervention programs conducted likely focus on the program’s worth because of the HPI’s emphasis on the value of the interventions to produce outcomes desired by the organization and stakeholders.
2. False
Assessments of project feasibility and risk factors should start during the identification phase of an evaluation project.
3. False
The client wants you to conduct a summative evaluation of the revised on-boarding program focusing on whether the revised program has helped decrease the annual operator turnover and accident rates. To do so, at least a year should have passed. The revised on-boarding program lacks maturity and it is not feasible at this time to conduct a summative evaluation.
4. False
After the SOW is approved, the evaluator moves onto the planning phase of the evaluation project.
