Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The criterion associated with providing guidance to employees about what is expected of them is specificity or specific feedback. Reliability refers to the consistency of the measure, validity refers to how well the measure actually measures what it is intended to measure, acceptability refers to whether the measure is acceptable to users, and fit with strategy refers to how well the measure aligns with the overall strategy of the organization. None of these criteria specifically addresses the issue of providing guidance to employees.
