By Aharon Tziner, - It was hypothesized that in comparison to a GRS-based performance appraisal and review, behaviour-based (BARS and BOS) appraisals and reviews would generate superior goal properties (e.g., specificity), better goal characteristics (e.g., acceptance), and more favourable user reactions (e.g., ratee satisfaction with the appraisal process). Data from a field experiment involving 46 police sergeants (raters) and their 152 subordinates (ratees) supported almost all of the predictions. Particularly strong evidentiary support was found for the BOS-based performance appraisal and review. These results, as well as recent empirical evidence from other studies, lend credence to the proposition that a BOSbased performance appraisal and review may be superior to other appraisal methods in terms of yielding more favourable attitudinal effects. ^new (Added: 24-Jul-2006 Hits: 121 )
