[All SPHR Questions]

Which performance appraisal method would be used most effectively in a large, geographically dispersed organization with many similar jobs?

  • A. Field review
  • B. Critical incident
  • C. Forced ranking
  • D. Behaviorally anchored rating system
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Answer option D is correct.
The BARS system is used most effectively in organizations when a number of jobs have similar duties. Because it is expensive and time-consuming to implement, an organization must have enough resources available to develop the program. Critical-incident appraisal tools (B) are most effectively used by managers who have daily interaction with subordinates. Forced ranking (C) is best for use in organizations with fewer than 100 employees because it becomes unwieldy for large groups. Field reviews (A) are conducted by someone other than a direct supervisor.
