Suzanne's evaluation is due in 2 weeks. Yesterday, she came in early to help with a staffing crisis and actually saved a choking family member by performing the Heimlich maneuver
Her evaluation is certain to be full of high praise for her skills and teamwork.
a. This is a fair evaluation; after all, she has been great the last 2 weeks
b. This is a fair evaluation; the manager really cannot remember any problems with Suzanne this last year
c. This is a situation in which a halo error is influencing the entire evaluation
d. This is a situation in which a leniency error is influencing the entire evaluation
C
The halo effect allows one event or trait to influence the entire evaluation, in this case, Suzanne's recent behaviors. The objectivity of the evaluation is being clouded by the halo behavior. Evaluations need to be comprehensive regarding behaviors and skills.
