Abstract
This study examined the accuracy of performance ratings provided by participant raters with and without a consensus requirement. Participants in three conditions, discussion with consensus, discussion without consensus, and a no discussion control condition, evaluated the performance of three ratees working on a problem solving exercise. It was hypothesized that ratings provided by participants in the consensus condition would yield greater accuracy than participants’ ratings in the other conditions. Findings in support of this hypothesis offer justification for use of multiple raters reaching consensus in organizational performance appraisal situations.
