Many jobs require supervisors to conduct performance reviews with their subordinate employees. In some organizations, performance reviews are only conducted by
supervisors annually. This form of performance appraisal has been shown to introduce recency bias, or the tendency for supervisors to only remember and appraise their subordinates based upon events or work products most recently completed. A more fair performance review process requires supervisors to conduct performance appraisals on a quarterly basis.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most strengthen the above argument?
A. Quarterly performance appraisals tend to result in nearly identical employee performance ratings as annual performance appraisals.
B. Employees who receive quarterly performance appraisals report higher satisfaction with their supervisor than those employees who receive annual performance appraisals
C. Annual performance appraisals are less time consuming for supervisors to complete than quarterly performance appraisals.
D. Employees who receive quarterly performance appraisals challenge their performance ratings with Human Resources 75% less than employees who receive annual performance appraisals.
E. Quarterly performance reviews require both supervisors and employees to attend training sessions to ensure they know why quarterly performance appraisals are important
