Identifies the performance appraisal approach involving multiple assessors and self-assessment.

Question

Which of the following performance appraisal approaches includes an assessment of the individual by a number of other people who are familiar with the individual’s work and a self-assessment by the individual?

A The problem solving approach

B The tell and listen method

C The tell and sell method

D 360 degree approach

Answer

Explanation:
The 360-degree approach to performance appraisal involves gathering feedback from multiple sources, including peers, subordinates, supervisors, and the individual themselves (self-assessment). This comprehensive method ensures a well-rounded evaluation of the individual’s performance by incorporating diverse perspectives from those familiar with their work. Options A, B, and C do not involve this multi-source feedback mechanism: the problem-solving approach focuses on collaborative goal-setting, the tell and listen method involves discussion and feedback from the appraiser, and the tell and sell method emphasizes persuading the employee to accept the appraisal.
