Abstract

This paper focused on studying factors which could reduce the leniency bias found in self-appraisals. Using a field experiment, this study demonstrated that leniency bias in self-appraisals varied depending upon the purposes of conducting the appraisal and subjects' belief that self-appraisals may or may not be validated against independent measures of performance.
