Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trait-based performance appraisal systems, which evaluate employees based on subjective characteristics like "creative behavior," are often viewed unfavorably by courts in discrimination cases. This is because they can be influenced by personal biases, making them less reliable and fair compared to systems that focus on objective results or behaviors directly related to job performance.
