Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text argues that the performance appraisal process in most organizations is a political exercise, which means the process is influenced by the power dynamics and interests of various stakeholders, rather than being a rational or objective exercise based on performance criteria. This is consistent with research that has shown how performance ratings can be influenced by factors such as personal biases, personality conflicts, and organizational politics, rather than objective measures of performance. The other options - absolute process, rational exercise, and trait-based process - do not capture the political nature of performance appraisal.
