The Value of Common Perspectives in Self-Reported Appraisals
通过两项实地研究，发现当员工采用与主管相同的视角（即评估主管对自己的看法）时，自我报告与主管评定的绩效相关性更高，建议研究者用员工对主管评价的预测代替自我评价。
This article uses the work of Smircich and Chesser on direct and meta-perspectives (i.e., points of view) to test the correspondence between self-reported and supervisory ratings of performance. Results from two field studies indicate a higher level of self-supervisor rating correlation when using a common perspective. Similar results were obtained using an alternative measure of rating correspondence. The results provide evidence that researchers using self-reports of performance as surrogates for archival performance data should ask respondents for their supervisor's assessment of their performance rather than for their own assessment. The practical implications of these results for field research are discussed.
