B)Many companies use forced distribution approaches to minimize the tendency for supervisors to rate most employees as excellent performers.This tendency usually arises out of supervisors' self-promotion motives.Supervisors often provide positive performance ratings to most of their employees because they do not want to alienate them.After all,their performance as supervisors depends largely on how well their employees perform their jobs.
