Question 1 of 20

It should focus on the positive and totally ignore any past shortcomings so that the employee can maintain positive self-esteem.

The appraisal should be conducted without the benefit of an interview as this process often causes discomfort for the employee and the supervisory manager.

Although it should examine all aspects of past performance, it should be constructive and future oriented with an eye towards the path to improvement.

It should focus only on past performance with an emphasis on shortcomings so that the employee fears for the future.
