Clayton, a supervisor, needs to rate the performance of 20 subordinates. he uses a rating scale to rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. he rates 18 employees at 5, which leads to central tendency. in the context of types of rating errors, clayton commits the _____ error.

Answer 1

The answer is a distributional error. Raters make distributional blunders when they tend to utilize just a single piece of a rating scale. Distributional blunders make it hard to look at representatives appraised by a similar individual. The mistake is called focal inclination when the rater puts everybody close to the center of the scale. In this situation, Clayton submits a distributional mistake.
