Abstract

Performance appraisal systems have been plagued by two major problems: the inaccuracy of raters, and supervisors who are caught in a dilemma because their role as the sole evaluators of performance undermines their more constructive role as performance coaches and counselors. The innovative Team Evaluation (TE) process for performance appraisal solves this double bind.
