Question at position 13 James manages a team of 200 people. He uses a basic quantitative scale to evaluate their performance. One day he surveys his team members anonymously, to see how fair they find his evaluations to be. He finds that they believe the performance measures: (i) seem to provide similar ratings for similar levels of performance, across people and across time; (ii) are clearly linked to expectations about behaviour on the job, but (iii) do not capture all the factors of good performance - leading some contributions to go unrecognized and unrewarded.

Step-by-Step Analysis
The question presents a scenario where James uses a basic quantitative performance scale and learns from anonymous surveys that the measures: (i) yield similar ratings for similar performance across people and time, (ii) align with job behavior expectations, but (iii) fail to capture all factors of good performance, resulting in some contributions being unrecognized and unrewarded. The prompt asks us to characterize these measures.
Option 1: Not specific, but valid and reliable. This option argues the measures lack specificity (they don’t capture all factors of performance) yet are valid (they measure ......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers
