The Assessment of Performance Feedback to Individuals in Organizational Settings

Abstract

Following the review of the performance feedback literature by Ilgen, Fisher, and Taylor (1977), an instrument was developed to measure the dimensions of performance feedback identified in that review. This report describes the development of the instrument and the psychometric properties of it. Two samples of employees participated in the research. One sample was from a large manufacturing company. Members of the sample were randomly selected across all employee groups in that company. The second sample was composed of administrative and clerical personnel at Purdue University. Internal consistency and interrator reliabilities were obtained from the former sample, and test- retest reliabilities were obtained from the latter. It was concluded that with some modifications, the instrument processes sufficient reliability to warrant its use. The modifications and qualifications for its use are discussed.
