BIAS MINIMIZATION IN PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Introduction
The history of evaluation of the performance of the firm is long and at the same time
unique as well. A person named Demetri has been promoted to the designation of a principal at a
firm of engineering very recently. All the principals associated with this particular engineering
firm got involved for the aim of evaluation of all the capable engineers (Van Geert et al., 2016).
This reason behind the principals evaluating the engineers formed the feedback and evaluation of
various kinds of sources which in turn is believed by each and every founder of this respective
firm. On the other hand, it has been done for the aim of preventing any kind of favoritism and at
the same time promoting a culture on the basis of the meritorious engineers.
But on the other hand, it could be witnessed that a long history is associated with the firm
with respect to the appraisals of the quality performances for the aim of ensuring the accuracy of
the evaluation of all the performances (Tavoletti, Stephens & Dong, 2019). Further, the
intentional rating factors of distortion would be discussed which is present within the scenario.
Various kind of interventions of which would be essential for minimizing intentional distortion
of rating along with its reasons would also be described and recommended as well.
Response to question 1:
Several kinds of intentional rating factors of distortion which might come into play with
respect to this particular situation is that Demetri mainly focused on moving forward with the
initiative of hiring and an essential factor was that there were nine engineers who were really
new and were from his university only (Speer, Tenbrink & Schwendeman, 2019). So, in the
context of intentional rating factors of distortion, he might have desired of having a better quality
