Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Comparative measurement systems are as follows:
A . Simple rank order is simply when employees are ranked from best performer to worst performer.
B. Alternation rank order is when the supervisor selects (in the following order) the best performer (i.e., 1), then the worst performer (e.g., 2000), then the second best performer (i.e., 2), then the second worst performer (e.g., 1999), and so forth, alternating between top and bottom until the list is completed (and they meet in the middle).
C. Paired comparisons are when explicit comparisons are made between all pairs of employees to be evaluated, such that each employee's performance is compared to all other employees' performance.
D. Relative percentile method asks raters to consider all ratees at the same time and to estimate the relative performance of each by using a 100-point scale. If an employee receives a 75-point mark on the scale, it means that about 25 percent of employees are better performers and about 75 percent of employees are worse performers than this individual. This method may include one such scale for each competency as well as one scale to evaluate the overall performance of all employees.
E. Forced distribution apportions employees according to an approximately normal distribution. For example, about 20 percent will fall under the top performers category, about 70 percent will fall under the average performers category, and about 10 percent will fall under the underperformance category.
