    Question

    In the ‘recency error’ of performance

    appraisal, the rating manager gives?
    A More importance to recent events Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Less importance to recent events Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Higher rating to those who are hired recently Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Lower rating to those who are hired recently Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Recency error is the rater’s tendency to allow more recent incidents (either effective or ineffective) of employee behavior to carry too much weight in evaluation of performance over an entire rating period. This can be extreme on both ends of the spectrum. Either an employee just finishing a major project successfully or an employee may have had a negative incident right before the performance appraisal process and it is on the forefront of the manager’s thoughts about that employee.
