Which of the following is a true statement regarding performance evaluation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Managers should be evaluated on those things over which they have influence because that is what a performance evaluation should focus on. It is not fair to hold someone accountable for something they have no control over. For example, sales personnel can be evaluated on their sales, even though they do not have complete control over the level of sales due to market conditions and other factors outside their control. However, the evaluation should also take into account factors such as effort, skill, and strategies implemented that could affect sales performance. Evaluating managers on the performance of the entire organization (B) is too broad and not practical since it may include factors beyond their control. Option D is also incorrect since ignoring factors under the manager's influence may overlook opportunities for improvement.
