ABSTRACT

Despite their use in practice, calibration meetings of performance appraisal ratings have received little attention in the academic literature to date. The current paper addresses this gap by formally defining calibration meetings and by investigating the nature and impact of calibration meetings on performance ratings across two field studies. Results indicated that calibration meetings do occur in organizations. The nature and cadence of calibration meetings varied considerably, but managers generally perceived calibrations as attempts to improve rating quality. Calibration meetings were also associated with increases in perceived frame-of-reference, perceived accountability, and perceived total information to base ratings upon. Further, results showed that post-calibration ratings correlated more with other measures assessing the job performance domain than pre-calibration ratings.

摘要

尽管在实践中使用了绩效评估等级的校准会议，但迄今为止在学术文献中鲜有关注。本论文通过正式定义校准会议并研究校准会议的性质和对两个实地研究的绩效评级的影响来解决这一差距。结果表明，校准会议确实在组织中举行。校准会议的性质和节奏差异很大，但是管理人员通常将校准视为提高评分质量的尝试。校准会议还与感知的参考框架，感知的问责制以及感知的基于基础评级的总体信息的增加有关。进一步，
