Which evaluation technique measures employee job performance by evaluating actual work behaviors observed against pre-established behavioral frequency scales?
AGraphic Rating Scale
BBehavioral Observation Scale (BOS)
CBehaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS)
DForced Choice Method
Explanation
• Behavioral Observation Scale (BOS) rates how frequently an employee displays specific critical behaviors (e.g., ‘Almost Never’ to ‘Almost Always’).
• BARS anchors rating points with specific narrative performance behavioral examples.
• BOS provides detailed behavioral feedback and higher inter-rater reliability than graphic rating scales.
Exam Relevance
- Topic: Performance Management
