Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) are indeed time-consuming to develop because they require identifying, documenting, and rating specific examples of job performance. They must be updated as job roles and performance expectations evolve. BARS provide specific, behavior-based feedback that employees can use to improve their performance, and they are fundamentally based on behavioral incidents that exemplify different levels of job performance. Therefore, all of the statements accurately describe aspects of behaviorally anchored rating scales.
