Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leniency error occurs when the rater rates the performance of everyone as higher than they actually are. This is done either to avoid confrontation or to be popular among the employees. The result of leniency error is that it creates a skewed distribution with most of the employees being rated as above average, which may result in lowered morale among the employees who have genuinely performed better.
