Ratings of candidates for promotion by co-workers and supervisors

Abstract

Supervisor and co-worker ratings on a variety of items were made on a group of 100 candidates for leadman jobs in an aircraft company. Ratings of pairs of supervisors intercorrelated highest (.56-.71); ratings of pairs of co-workers correlated somewhat lower (.34-.43); correlations between supervisor and co-worker ratings were lowest (.15-.39). Supervisors tended to rate candidates lower than co-workers did. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
