A SECOND LOOK AT BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION SCALES
批评了Latham等人关于行为观察量表（BOS）优于其他评估格式的结论，指出其存在概念问题、可疑的统计分析及忽视前人研究。
Latham, Fay, and Saari (1979) discussed the development of behavioral observation scales (BOS) for the appraisal of foremen and managers. They present arguments and data in support of BOS and made several conclusions regarding the relative superiority of BOS versus other appraisal formats, particularly behavioral expectation scales. This critique of their article suggests that most of their conclusions are beset by conceptual problems, questionable statistical analyses, and/or a disregard of previous research.
