26. Critical Incident Method
• Critical incident method or critical incident technique is a performance appraisal tool in which analyses the
behavior of employee in certain events in which either he performed very well and the ones in which he could
have done better.
• Critical incident technique is used to collect data using a set of procedures.
• In critical incident method the observer observes critical human behaviors, skills used, incidents that occur on
the job.
• In Critical incident method, the manager of the employee gives all the details of the incident.
• This method is quite subjective in nature as compared to other methods which may be very objective and would
require just ratings out of 5/10 etc.
• It helps to define the competencies and Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and other attributes (KSAO) required for a
task or set of tasks that entails a job.
• The observer not only looks at the hard skills used but also the mental abilities that are required by the job
incumbent.

suitable for the middle and top level

27. What is the Two Factor Theory?
Motivation-Hygiene Theory or
the dual-factor theory
This theory was penned by Frederick
Herzberg in 1959.
This American psychologist, who was very
interested in people’s motivation and job
satisfaction, came up with the theory.
Based on this, he developed the theory that
people’s job satisfaction depends on two kinds
of factors.
Factors
for satisfaction (motivators/satisfiers) and
factors for dissatisfaction (hygiene factors/
dissatisfies).
