Effectiveness and Critiques of 360-Degree Feedback
The effectiveness of 360-degree feedback methods is a subject of debate. Some research suggests that ratings from self and peers can be unreliable for performance assessment. This research also highlights a potential bias where supervisors may underrate employees who provide modest self-evaluations. However, an alternative viewpoint posits that variability in ratings is a positive feature, as it can stimulate valuable learning discussions between employees and their supervisors about the reasons for these discrepancies.
