It was noted that format comparisons for performance rating scales rarely report the most critical statistic in terms of assessing score comparability; i.e., the disattenuated correlation of scores between formats. This study examined the degree to which scores on different formats are correlated after disattenuation. Corrected correlations ranged from .7 to above 1.00. While it appears the scales are measuring essentially the same thing, several cautionary statements are made regarding the interpretation of the results. The failure to consider the purpose for data collection in these studies was one major problem cited.read more

The criterion problem: 1917–1992.
James T. Austin,Peter Villanova +1 more
TL;DR: This article used criteria for the evaluation of theories of work behavior, the effective administration of human resources, and the provision of feedback to individuals in industrial-organizational psychology, and found that most, if not all, of the pioneers of industrialorganization psychology addressed this issue during their careers.

Where all the children are above average: the performance appraisal purpose effect
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of performance appraisal purpose research was conducted with 22 studies and a total sample size of 57,775 as discussed by the authors, showing that performance evaluations obtained for administrative purposes were, on average, one-third of a standard deviation larger than those obtained for research or employee development purposes.

Is It All Relative?: Comparative Judgments and the Possible Improvement of Self-Ratings and Ratings of Others
Richard D. Goffin,James M. Olson +1 more
TL;DR: A social cognitive and evolutionary explanation is offered in support of the hypothesis that humans may often be able to make more accurate ratings using comparative measures and an agenda for greater exploitation and understanding of relative judgments in psychological research and practice is recommended.

Criterion validation of two approaches to performance appraisal: The behavioral observation scale and the relative percentile method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the criterion validity of a new "relative" performance appraisal format (percentile-based ranking) to that of an "absolute" format (BOS) in a sample of 88 unit managers and found that the relative format has higher criterion-related validity than does the absolute format.

Taking advantage of social comparisons in performance appraisal: The relative percentile method
TL;DR: In this article, the incorporation of social comparisons into performance appraisals, using the relative percentile method (RPM), would predict criterion variance beyond that predicted by more traditional absolute ratings of performance.

Statistical Theories of Mental Test Scores
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of test theory models and their application in the field of mental test analysis. But the focus of the survey is on test-score theories and models, and not the practical applications and limitations of each model studied.

Behavioral observation scales for performance appraisal purposes

TL;DR: In this article, behavioral items critical to the job success of logging supervisors were developed from 1204 critical incidents, the frequency with which a supervisor engaged in each behavior was rated on a 5-point Likert type scale by two sets of observers.
