Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MBO (Management by Objectives) is a participative goal-setting approach that involves setting specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART) goals with employees to align them with the organization's objectives. This approach is based on the principle that employees are more likely to achieve goals that they have a say in setting or agreeing to, which enhances their motivation, commitment, and performance. The critical incident approach is a performance appraisal method that focuses on critical job-related behaviors and outcomes, while BARS (Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales) and 360-degree evaluations are other performance appraisal methods that may not emphasize employee involvement in goal setting.
