There are a variety of factors that can affect the overall performance rating of an individual. Aguinis (2019) defined two methodsâjudgmental and mechanicalâfor reaching an overall score, and states that the mechanical approach is preferable in most cases, particularly if performance objectives are not weighted.
Review âCase Study 6-1: Judgmental and Mechanical Methods of Assigning Overall Performance Score at The Daily Planetâ at the end of Chapter 6 in the Performance Management textbook.
First, use the judgmental method to come up with Kuhnâs overall performance score.
Next, compute Kuhnâs overall performance score using the weights in the table.
Is there a difference in the scores? What are the implications for the employee rated, for the supervisor, and for the organization? Which method would you use and why?
