Answer to Question 1

Answer: First, conduct job analyses to ascertain characteristics necessary for successful job performance. Companies must first establish job definitions and then discover what employee behaviors are necessary to perform the jobs. Job analysis is essential for the development of content-valid performance appraisal systems. Content validity displays connections between the measurable factors upon which the employee is being appraised and the job itself. Human resource and compensation experts must review performance appraisal tools regularly to ensure that the tools adequately reflect the key behaviors necessary for effective job performance. Jobholders, supervisors, and clients can often give the most relevant input to determine whether a performance appraisal system contains dimensions that relate to a particular job.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: BARS (behaviorally anchored rating scales)
