Journal of Business & Psychology, Vol. 9, pp. 47-57.
Abstract
Eighty-six incumbents of three different jobs produced job-analytic ratings using either a decomposed (task-based) or a holistic (job-based) rating strategy. Approximately half of them received rater training in making inferential decisions. When tasks were less complex than the job as a whole, rating decomposition generally had positive effects on ratings' quality. Similarly, when the number of tasks rated was low to moderate, rater training was effective. A contingency approach, where limitations concerning the use of rating decomposition and inferential training were ...

Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, Vol. 21 (1996)
Abstract
In the United States, college students' ratings of instructors are routinely used to make personnel decisions. However, closer examination of the qualifications of amateur student raters and novice public school teachers who have received training that should enable them to be good raters suggests that neither group is qualified to give reliable ratings on high-inference questionnaire items.

Abstract
This study suggests that professional-managerial, semi-professional, and skilled occupations are perceived as more androgynous in 1982 than in 1974. Raters perceive more occupations as suitable for either sex irrespective of the sex of current job holders. These changes in perception have an impact on human resource decisions in selection, role assimilation and career development.

Abstract
This article examines the methods for improved rater accuracy and employee goal setting. Performance management systems in organizations should rest on principles of good management supported by extensive research in organizational psychology and human resource management and rater accuracy and goal setting are two key elements of performance management. One way to help raters make correct behavioral observations and increase their rating accuracy is called frame-of-reference (FOR). FOR training, which provides rater examples of good, average, and poor perfomance for each ...

Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 63 (1978), pp. 163-171.
Abstract
Engineers/scientists (n = 76) either participated in the setting of, or were assigned, specific behavioral goals during their performance appraisal. Participative goal setting resulted in more difficult goals being set than was the case when the goals were assigned. Perceptions of goal difficulty, however, were not significantly different in the two goal-setting conditions. The analysis of the performance data collected 6 months later (n = 132) revealed main effects for both goal setting and anticipated rewards. Only participative goal setting led ...

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine if raters varied their utilization of consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness information in making appraisal decisions for salary increases, promotions, remedial training, and providing feedback. Results indicated differences in utilization strategy as a function of purpose in the manner predicted by attribution theory. Implications of these results, especially relative to a cognitive role for appraisal purpose are discussed.
