Acceptance of peer/upward performance appraisal systems: Role of work context factors and beliefs about managers' development capability
研究员工对同事和上级反馈系统的接受度，发现员工相信被评估者能通过反馈提升技能、工作资源支持和社会支持等情境因素会影响这种信念和态度，评估维度的重要性也有调节作用。
This article provides insight into acceptance of peer/upward feedback systems, and also furnishes some implications for HR practice when implementing these systems. Participants' beliefs that ratees can develop their skills following feedback were positively related to attitudes toward the appraisal system. Perceived context variables such as development resource availability, social support, and time demands were related to these development capability beliefs, and to attitudes. Importance of the appraisal dimensions moderated the influence of the development capability beliefs on attitudes, and also contributed to attitudes. Beliefs that raters had adequate opportunity to observe relevant behavior were also related to attitudes. © 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
