Question

During the annual performance appraisal, Andre's supervisor sets her own standards against which Andre is rated for his performance. In this scenario, Andre's supervisor most likely uses _____ to make a rational decision.

Answer 1

Answer:

Absolute comparisons.

Explanation:

As the exercise suggests, what Andre's supervisor is most likely using is an absolute comparison type of system to make a rational decision. This type of comparisons compare how close two factors are. Therefore, if she sets her own standards she can measure Andre's performance against them. For example, if he had to help 20 individuals per day, and he had an average of 18 per day, she knows he is close to it's goal. And, if she had to make a decision, she could have this type of information.
