Participation in the Performance Appraisal Review: Inflexible Manager Behavior and Variable Worker Needs
对137名员工和38名管理者的调查发现，员工参与评估面谈的程度更多取决于管理者而非具体情境，且参与对未来关系的影响大于对即时决策的影响，员工经验和先前反馈会调节其反应。
A survey of 137 employees provided data on performance appraisal reviews conducted by 38 managers. Participation in the review was influenced more by which manager conducted the review than the circumstances of the specific review. The effect of participation was greater for variables measuring future relationship (potential in the firm and seeking feedback from manager) than immediate decisions (self-evaluation and intention to stay). Reaction to the review was moderated by subordinate experience and prior feedback. The results indicate the importance of understanding the context in which the review occurs and the limited degree to which managers alter their own behavior in the review.
