ORGANIZATION AND RATER DIFFERENCES IN PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS
研究了组织差异和评估者差异对绩效评估的影响，发现两者均显著影响评分，可能限制绩效评估研究在不同组织间的通用性。
This study examines the effects of organizational differences and rater differences on performance appraisals. Self, peer, and supervisory ratings of performance for nurses in four hospitals and self, student, peer, and supervisory ratings for resident advisors in seven university dormitory complexes were used in this study. The analyses indicate that both organization and rater differences have significant, independent effects on performance ratings. The findings suggest that organizational differences may restrict the generality of the findings of performance appraisal studies across organizational settings. They also may have a negative impact on the usefulness of any particular performance appraisal form in different settings, and on the ability of managers to accurately interpret and compare performance ratings for individuals in different organizational subunits.
