Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recency bias refers to the tendency of raters to focus on and give more weight to recent behaviors when evaluating individual performance, while disregarding or minimizing behaviors that occurred earlier in the evaluation period. This can lead to an unfair and inaccurate assessment of an employee's overall performance. The other options do not specifically refer to overemphasizing the latest behaviors.
