Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of the current study was to create and validate a new measure of rater accountability (RA) for use in performance appraisal (PA) contexts. Previous research has identified the accountability audience as an important moderator of the effects of RA that existing measures do not consider. This new measure of RA, the Rater Accountability Scale (RAS), was developed to capture accountability pressures from different audiences. Across two studies that sampled current managers, the RAS scores achieved adequate fit and acceptable reliability. Initial construct-related validity evidence was collected by exploring relationships with convergent measures, rater characteristics, and appraisal outcomes. Overall, these findings provide support for the use of the RAS in research and applied settings while also helping to build the nomological network of RA.
期刊介绍：
Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
