What is a good performance evaluation?
On One Hand: Behavioral Ratings Can Be GoodBehaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) can be an effective way to evaluate performance. By defining the behavior of an employee, a clear and substantive judgment can be made to determine that person’s efficiency and productivity. “Many organizations,” according to HR-IZONS, “attempt to achieve a greater degree of accuracy” using BARS.On the Other: Five-Point Scales May Be BetterA traditional Five-Point Scale may make for a better performance evaluation. BARS require gathering behavioral information in order to produce accurate results, which can be time-consuming, according to HR-IZONS. Five-Point models, on the other hand, can be “very useful in measuring accurate variances…on a mass scale.” Five-Point scales also allow for useful gradations, by providing a “midpoint… without introducing scores that are too close to be of much value.”Bottom LineThe Five-Point Scale is a very good performance-evaluation method.
