1. There are a variety of factors that can affect the overall
performance rating of an individual. Aguinis (2019) defined two
methods—judgmental and mechanical—for reaching an overall
score, and states that the mechanical approach is preferable in
most cases, particularly if performance objectives are not
weighted.
Review “Case Study 6-1: Judgmental and Mechanical Methods
of Assigning Overall Performance Score at
The Daily Planet
” at the end of Chapter 6 in the
Performance Management
textbook.
First, use the judgmental method to come up with Kuhn’s
overall performance score.
Next, compute Kuhn’s overall performance score using the
weights in the table.
Is there a difference in the scores? What are the implications for
the employee rated, for the supervisor, and for the organization?
Which method would you use and why?
In developing your initial response, be sure to draw from,
explore, and cite credible reference materials.
