Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The manager is exhibiting a similar-to-me effect, which involves favoring employees who are similar to the rater in some way (in this case, having children who attend the same school). This is a type of bias that can lead to unfair evaluations and limit diversity within the organization.
