Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spencer's ratings were based on his subjective feeling that the employees could have done more, rather than on any objective evidence of their performance. Objective measures would be based on observable behaviors and outcomes related to the specific job tasks and performance expectations. By giving all employees low ratings without objective evidence, Spencer's performance appraisals violate the objective part of the OUCH test.
