Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The forced distribution method requires a manager to rate employees on a predetermined distribution curve, which typically involves rating some employees as excellent, some as satisfactory, and others as poor. This means that employees are being rated relative to how they compare to other employees, making forced distribution the correct answer to this question. The other options (graphic rating scale, Likert scale, and critical incident method) focus on individual performance and do not involve comparisons to other employees.
