Which of the following statements about subjective measures used for performance assessment in organizations is NOT true. ## Footnote a. self-ratings tend to be the most lenient but are less susceptible to halo bias b. supervisor ratings are generally the most reliable c. peer ratings are particuarly poor for predicting training success and subsequent promotions d. subordinates, peer and supervisor ratings usually agree more with each other than with self-ratings
a. self-ratings tend to be the most lenient but are less susceptible to halo bias b. supervisor ratings are generally the most reliable **c. peer ratings are particuarly poor for predicting training success and subsequent promotions- CORRECT... they are particuarly good for predicting training sucess and subsequent promotions** d. subordinates, peer and supervisor ratings usually agree more with each other than with self-ratings
43
The conceptual or theoretal criterion and refers to an accurate and complete measure of performance ## Footnote a. Actual Criterion b. Ultimate Criterion c. Relevance d. Deficiency
a. Actual Criterion: the way performance is actually measured. For example, for a psychotherapist, an ultimate criterion might be "provides effective theraputic services," and an actual criterion might be a client survey of satisfaction b. Ultimate Criterion- CORRECT c. Relevance Criterion-actual riterion's construct validity (e.g., the degree to which it measures the ultimate criterion) d. Deficiency Criterion: degree to which an actual criterion does _not_ measure all aspects of the ultimate criterion and is one of the factors that limits criterion relevance.
44
Factor that limits relevance and occurs when an actual criterion assesses factors other than those it was designed to measure. ## Footnote a. Difficiency b. Relevance c. Halo bias d. Criterion Contamination
a. Deficiency Criterion: degree to which an actual criterion does not measure all aspects of the ultimate criterion and is one of the factors that limits criterion relevance. b. Relevance Criterion-actual riterion's construct validity (e.g., the degree to which it measures the ultimate criterion) c. Halo bias: occurs when rater's evaluation of an employee on one dimensino of job performance affects his/her evaluation of that employee on other unrelated dimensions or when the rater's general impression of an employee influences how the rater rates the employee on all dimensions of job performance (can be positive or negative). d. Criterion Contamination- CORRECT. Knowledge of an employee's predictor performance is one source of criterion contamination an occurs when the rater's knowledge of an employee's predictor performance biases how the rater rates the employee on the criterion. In this situation, the criterion is not providing accurate information, and, if it is used to validate the predictor, criterion contamination is likely to artificially inflate the predictor's criterion-related validity coefficient.
45
The type of rating technique that involves assigning ratees to a limited number of categories based on a predefined normal distribution on one or more demensions of job performance (e.g., lowest 10%, next 20%, middle 40%, next 20%, top 10%). ## Footnote a. Paired comparison b. Forced Distribution c. Critical incident d. Forced choice
a. Paired comparison: the rater compares each rate with every other rateee in pairs on one or more dimension of job performance. The primary disadvantage is that it becomes increasingly cumbersome to use as the number of ratees increases b. Forced Distribution- CORRECT. A disadvantage is that it may yield erroneous data if the performance of the ratees is not actually normally distributed c. Critical incident: involves first deriving a checklist of critical incidents by having the supervisor observe employees while they workand record specific behaviors that are associated with outstanding and poor performance. Then, when using the technique for performance appraisal the rater marks those items in the checklist that apply to the ratee. The primary advantage is that it prrovides useful information for employee feedback, but a disadvantage is that its development requires close supervision of employees and accurate record keeping by the rater; it addresses only critical (extreme) job behaviors, not typical ones; and it does not indicate the frequency or degree to which a behavior occurs. d. Forced choice: each item consists of two to four alternatives that are considered to be about equal in terms of desierability, and the rater selects the alternative that best or least describes the ratee. Although the forced choice technique can help reduce rater bias, it is time-consuming to develop and is often disliked by raters. another type of technique is a "GRAPHIC RATING SCALE" - which requires the rater to indicate on a likert-type scale the ratee's level of performance on one or several dimensions. For example, a rater might rate an employee's communication skills on a 5-point scale that ranges from excellent to poor. Graphic rating scales are highly susceptible to rater biases, but their accuracy is improved when the scales are anchored with descriptions of specific behaviors
46
What is not one of the steps when developing Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS): ## Footnote a. Interview the employee b. Identify several independent dimensions of job behavior (e.g., job knowledge, motivation, interpersonal relationships) c. Identify several behavioral anchors (critical incidents) for each demension d. order and number behavioral anchores within each dimension from the least to most positive or desierable.
**a. Interview the employee- CORRECT it is not listed--- the rest are listed in order** b. Identify several independent dimensions of job behavior (e.g., job knowledge, motivation, interpersonal relationships) c. Identify several behavioral anchors (critical incidents) for each demension d. order and number behavioral anchores within each dimension from the least to most positive or desierable. \* can be easily used to provide employees with specific feedback about their job performance \*there is evidence that BARS increases inter-rater reliability reliability and reduces rater bias. \*Disadvantage is the time requrired, also anchors describe what rater expects the employee to do and do not necessarily indicate what behavior the rater has actually observed
47
The type of bias that occurs when a rater tends to avoid the middle range of rating scale and, instead, rates all employees as either low orhigh on all dimensions of job performance. ## Footnote a. leniency/strictness bias b. Critical Tendency Bias c. Halo Bias d. NONE OF THE ABOVE
a. leniency/strictness bias- CORRECT b. Central Tendency Bias- rater constant use of only the middle range of the rating scale c. Halo Bias: rater's evaluation of an employee on one dimension of job performance affects their evaluation of that employee on other unrelated dimension or when the rater's general impression of an employee influences how the rater rates the employee on all dimensions of job performance (can be negative or positive). d. NONE OF THE ABOVE

Krumboltz= Social Learning Theory; based on rienforcement theory by Bandura and proposes that the "maximum career development of all individuals requires each individual to be exposed to the widest array of learing experiences, regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity". c. Brousseau and Driver=decision dynamics career model: refers to how the person envisions their ideal career path. d. Dawis and Lofquist=Theory of Work Adjustment **(CORRECT):** Satisfaction- degree to which the characteristics of the cob correspond to their needs; satisfactoriness-extent to which worker's skills correspond to the skills/demands of the job.

Hygine (job context) factors b. motivator (job content) factors c. job enrichment d. job enlargement
a. Hygine (job context) factors: factors that satisfy lower-level needs (e.g., pay, benifits) and have little effect on job satisfaction/motivation but produse dissatisfaction when unfulfilled. b. motivator (job content) factors: factors that satisfy higher-level needs (e.g., responsibility, advancement, recognition, achievement) c. job enrichment: CORRECT- works best with younger, well-educated, employees, and employees wiht high nACH. Can elicit anxiety/frustration in employees with low nACH d. job enlargement: increasing the job's horizontal loading by increasing the number and variety of tasks. Can reduce boredome, but does not have a substantial impact on satisfaction and motivation.
53
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ theory of worker motivation emphasizes the self-regulation of behavior and proposes that it involves four processes: goal setting (establishes personal goals) self-observation (individual monitors goal-related behaviors), self-evaluation (compare current behaviors to behavioral goals), self-reaction (results in both positive and negative reactions). ## Footnote a. Goal setting theory b. Equity theory c. Expectancy (VIE) theory d. Social cognitive theory (SCT)

Hershey and Blanchard's ______________ theory of leardership distinguishes between four leadership styles that are each characterized by a different combination of task-and relationshp-orientation. It also proposes that the approapriate style depends on the subordinate's job maturity, which is determined by a combination of ability and willingness to accept responsibility. ## Footnote a. Contingency Theory b. Cognitive Resource Theory c. Situational Leadership d. Vroom-Yetton-Jago Normative (Decision-Making) model
a. Contingency Theory: leadership effectiveness is the result of an interaction between the leader's style and the favorableness of the situation. b. Cognitive Resource Theory: extension of contingency theory, and was developed (in part) to explain why the research has not found a strong relationship between a leader's intellectual ability and effectiveness. c. Situational Leadership- CORRECT d. Vroom-Yetton-Jago Normative (Decision-Making) model: focuses on a leader's decision-making style and distinguishes between five basic decision strategies that vary in terms of the degree to which employees participate in the decision making

a. rational-economic**- CORRECT-** assumes that decision maker has complete information about all possible alternatives and is able to proccess the information in an accurate, unbiased way b. bounded rationality- poposes that limited capabilities, time and resources and other constraints force decision makers to be less than totally rational. As a result, decision makers often satisfice rather than optimize or maximize: they consider solutions as they become available and then select the first solution that meets the minimum criteria of acceptability c. administrative: same as bounded rationality d. optimization- not one of the terms
64
Several techniques have been developed to improve the quality of group decisions and osborn argued that the creativity of group decisions can be enhanced with \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, which involves, encourageing the group members to verbalize ALL ideas, requiring members to refrain from evaluating eachothers ideas until all ideas have been presented. ## Footnote a.

Brain storming: CORRECT c. Barganing: type of conflict resolution. Opposing sides in dispute exchange offers, counter offers, and concessions either dirrectly or through representatives d. Arbitration: type of conflict resolution. A mediator (who has more authority than in "mediation" controls both the process and outcome of conflict resolution. Types include: binding arbitration (two sides agree in advance to accept decision), boluntary (parties only agree to the process), conventional (arbitrator can choose any settlement solution), and final offer arbitration (arbitrator selects one of the final offers made by the disputants).

Refreezing
a. Unfreezing: occurs when the need for change is recognized and steps are taken to make members of the organization receptive to change. b. Driving- NOT one of the three steps. Lewin described "driving forces" as a force that promotes change c. Changing- CORRECT d. Refreezing- supporting the changes that have been made to help stabilize the organization at a new state of equilibrium
66
What is the title of the Organizational Development Intervention that is designed to humanize work and the work environment, emphasises employee empowerment, empowering them to set their own goals, make their own decisions and solve problems within their sphere of responsibility and authority. ## Footnote a. Quality of Work Life Programs b. Quality Circles c. Self-Managed Work Teams d. Process consultation
a. Quality of Work Life Programs: CORRECT b. Quality Circles-Small voluntary group of employees works together in a particular job and meet regularly to discuss job related problems and solutions. Representatives then present the solutions to management. c. Self-Managed Work Teams- autonomous work group whos members are trained to effectively perform group tasks. They function not just to make suggestions to managment, but to actually make decisions that were previously made by managers (e.g., hiring, budget). d. Process consultationDesigned to assist members of organization help themselves by improving their ability to perceive, understand, and alter the processes that are undermining their interactinos with one another.
67
What is the word for: Organized, interconnected mental networks for information that are based on our previous personal and social experiences and help us process and organize information. ## Footnote a. Schemata b. Prototypes c. Scripts d. Central traits
a. Schemata: CORRECT-**For instance your schema for supervisor consists of knowledge that allows you to make judgments about your supervisor's current behavior and predict his/her future behaviors.** b. Prototypes: more abstract than schemata and consist of knowledge about the most representative or ideal example of a particular category of people, objects, or events. c. Scripts: AKA "event schemas" and provide knowledge about the appropriate sequence of behaviors in specific social situations. As an example, your script for "mental health clinic" informs you about how you should behave in that setting. d. Central traits: influence impressions more than others. A person may be described as "intelligent, skillful, industrious, warm, determined, practicul, and cautious" is more likely to be percieved more positively than a person described as "intelligent, skillful, industrious, cold, determined, practical, and cautious". This is because "warm" and "cold" are central traits that provide unique information, are associated with a large number of other characteristics, and, as a result, carry more weight than other attributes.
68
Mental shortcuts or rules-of-thumb that people use when making attributions and other social judgments. ## Footnote a. Fundamental attribution bias: b. Actor-observer-effect: c. Self-serving bias: d. heuristics-
a. Fundamental attribution bias: occurs when we overestimate the role of dispositional factors (internal attributes) and underestimate the role of situational factors. b. Actor-observer-effect: were more likely to attribute our won behavior to situational factors. The tendency to make different attributions about our own behaviors and the behaviors of others is referred to as the actor-observer effect. c. Self-serving bias: tendency to blame external factors for our failures and take credit for our success. d. heuristics- CORRECT
69
Basing your judgment about the likelihood that a person, object, or event belongs to a particular category on how similar the person, object or event is to that category while egnoring probability (base rage) date. ## Footnote a. Representativeness heuristic b. availability heuristic c. Simulation heuristic d. Anchoring and adjusting heuristic
a. Representativeness heuristic- CORRECT b. availability heuristic-Judging the likelihood or frequency of an event based on how easy it is to retrieve information about the event from long-term memory. In other words, you'll predict that an event is more likely to occur if you're able to recall many examples of its occurance than if you're able to recall only one example. c. Simulation heuristic: using mental simulations of an event to determine the likelihood that the event will happen, (e.g., if you can asily imagine that the event will happen, your're more likely to predict that it will happen) d. Anchoring and adjusting heuristic; using an initial value (anchor) as the basis for making a judgment or estimate. For example, if the seller of an item at a flea market tells you that he usually sells the item for 10$ your offer will be closer to 10$ than it would if the seller said he usually sells the item for 7$
70
The tendency to believe that the likelihood of a particular change event is affected by the occurrence of previous events when there is actually no relationship between events. The gambler's fallacy is illustrated by partents who think there next child will be a girl since tha had four boys and no girls. ## Footnote a. Base rate fallacy b. illusory correlation c. false consensus effect d. gambler's fallacy
a. Base rate fallacy: tendency to rely on case specific information and ignore or under use base rate data when estimating the likelihood of an event or characteristic. for example, when participants in a research study were asked to estimate the liklihood that a hypothetical student will take an economics or history course and told the overall proportion of students in these courses is .30 and .70, respectively, than perticipants were more likely to rely on informatoin about the student's personality traits than on the base rate information. b. illusory correlation: belief that two characteristics, events or other variables are related when they actually are not. Similar to confirmation bias in terms of outcomes because it causes us to pay more attention to informatino that confirms our belief. c. false consensus effect: overestimating the degree to which beliefs, opinions, and behaviors of others are similar to our own as an example, college students who did or did not use drugs were asked to estimate drug use by their peers... students who used drugs provided significantly higher estimates of peer drug use. d. gambler's fallacy: CORRECT
71
The tendency for people to accept vauge and general descriptions of themselves as accurate is referred to as: ## Footnote a. Barnum effect b. Self-perception theory c. Overjustification hypothesis d. Self-verification theory
a. Barnum effect: CORRECT b. Self-perception theory: when internal cues are insufficent or difficult to interpret, people tend to aquire information about themselves by observing their external cues/behaviors... epinephrine studies c. Overjustification hypothesis: predicts that when an external reward is given to a person for performan an intrinsically rewarding activity the person's intrinsic interest in the reward decreases. d. Self-verification theory: once a person's self concept is formed, the person seeks to maintain it by using cognitive/behavioral strategies that are designed to obtain informatino that is consistent with that self-concept.
72
According to Kelman _________ occurs when the person changes their behavior to obtain a reward or avoid punishment. It is public and does not involve a private change in opinions or attitudes. ## Footnote a. Compliance b. Identification c. Obediance d. Internalization
a. Compliance; person changes behavior to obtain a reward or avoid punishment. It is public and does not involve a private change in opinions or attitudes. b. Identification: person changes behavior because they want to be liked or identified with another person. Behavior change reflects a private change in opinion or attitude, but change is maintained only as long as the person continues to like or admire the influencing agent. c. Obediance- Not one of the responses used by Kelman d. Internalization: occurs when the individual changes their behavior because they actually (privately) accepts the beliefs or attitudes of another person.
73
Change in attitude is greatest when the **level of discrepancy** between the positions of the communication and the recipient is in the _______ range a. low b. moderate c. high d. low or high

a. approach-approach: When you have to choose between two equally positive or attractive goals (e.g., two equally desierable jobs). Typically easiest to resolve. b. avoidance-avoidance: occurs when you must choose between two equally negative or unattractive goals (e.g., being laid off or accepting a lower-paid job in the company). difficult to resolve and can lead to indecision, inaction, or removing oneself from the situation. c. approach-avoidance: (aka single approach-avoidance) occurs when a single goal has both positive and negative qualities (e.g., deciding whether or not to accept a promotion that comes wiht an increase in salary but also increases job related stress). d. double approach-avoidance; Correct. Choosing between two goals that both have positive and negative qualities.

According to Cognitive Resource Theory (extension/modification of Fiedler's contingency theory) suggests that in low levels of stress a leaders ___________ is more predictive of performance than their \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ## Footnote a. Intelligence, experience b. Warmth, intellegence c. Experience, Intelligence d. Organization, Warmth
a. Intelligence, experience b. Warmth, intellegence c. Experience, Intelligence- CORRECT d. Organization, Warmth Under low levels of stress, a leader's intelligence is more predictive of performance than experience, because in low stress situations a leader is able to apply their judgement, problem-solving skills, and other cognitive resources. Under high levels of stress, the opposite is true.
