Which of the following is NOT a common method of performance appraisal?

  • (i) Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scale
  • (ii) 360-degree feedback
  • (iii) Management by Objectives
  • (iv) Job Enrichment
Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Answer: (iv) Job Enrichment

Justification:

  • Valid appraisal methods:
    • (i) BARS (Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scale): Scales anchored with behavioural examples of good/poor performance - modern method.
    • (ii) 360-degree feedback: Appraisal by superior, peers, subordinates, customers & self - popular comprehensive method.
    • (iii) MBO (Management by Objectives): Peter Drucker - appraisal against mutually set SMART goals/results.
  • Job Enrichment (iv) is NOT an appraisal method - It is a job design / motivation technique (Herzberg) that vertically loads a job with more autonomy, responsibility and challenge to make it meaningful.

Trap: Job Enrichment relates to motivation, not evaluation.
