Peer Assessment, Individual Performance, and Contribution to Group Processes
基于博弈论,研究同伴评估中评分者匿名性对个人绩效和群体过程贡献的影响,发现非匿名评估比匿名评估更能提升绩效。
Drawing from game theoretical research, we explore the degree to which rater anonymity affects consequences of peer assessment with respect to individual effectiveness and contribution to group processes. Using longitudinal data collected in a kibbutz-owned manufacturing facility in Israel, we found peer assessment to be associated with a general improvement of supervisory ratings of subordinates over time. More important, this improvement was found to be significantly greater among individuals working in departments assigned to a nonanonymity assessment condition relative to those assigned to an anonymous condition. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
