Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many employers have subordinates rate their managers. Anonymity affects such upward feedback. Managers who get feedback from subordinates who identify themselves view the upward feedback process more positively than do managers who get anonymous feedback. However, subordinates prefer giving anonymous responses, and those who must identify themselves tend to give inflated ratings.
