Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Latoya is keeping a record of specific incidents where her employees did something good or messed up. This fits the definition of a critical incidents file, which is a performance appraisal method that involves documenting specific events or incidents of behavior that illustrate an employee's performance. The other answer choices (B) MBO, (C) BARS, and (D) rating scale do not involve keeping a record of specific incidents like Latoya is doing. MBO involves setting specific performance goals and objectives, BARS involves rating employee performance based on specific behavioral criteria, and rating scale involves assigning numerical ratings to overall job performance.
