The Antecedents and Consequences of Performance Feedback in Organizational Settings
Abstract
The research described herein could be broadly classified as dealing with problems associated with the perception of work environments. Within this broad area the major focus of the research was upon the critical role played by feedback in work environments. In this regard, four major phases of research were conducted. The first phase involved an extensive review of the literature on performance feedback. This was followed by the second and third phase which involved the development of an instrument to measure the feedback environment. Research with this instrument culminated the third phase of the research. Concomitant with the second and third phases, factors affecting a supervisor's willingness to give feedback to subordinates was investigated and is described as the fourth phase of this research. Finally, other research conducted on the grant which did not fit into the four phases just described appears in the final section of this report. Also included is an appendix which lists the articles, papers, technical reports, ect., which were supported by the grant. This report is the final report of a 1977-1979 series entitled 'Motivational Consequences of Perceived Job Environments: The Critical Role of Feedback in Initial Work Experience.
