Question

Which of the following is a limitation of using supervisors in performance reviews?

A. They may be less able to see the employee's task and interpersonal behaviors.
B. They may be unfamiliar with the employee's job performance.
C. They may be unfamiliar with the employee's job requirements.
D. They may focus on interpersonal behaviors rather than outcomes.

Answer 1

Answer: Option A

Explanation: A supervisor is a lower level manager in an organisation whose activities are related to monitoring the performance of the labor force in the workplace.

The problem with supervisor doing performance review is that he would not know much about the planning and overall objectives of the organisation, his goal is to get the job done from his subordinates thus he might not have the knowledge of the different set of behavior that each of his subordinates practices.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the right option is A.
