Answer to #1

There are two types of competencies: differentiating and threshold. Differentiating competencies are those that allow us to distinguish between average and superior performers. Threshold competencies are those that everyone needs to display to do the job at a minimally adequate standard. In other words, the difference is that threshold competencies are essential in order to perform a job, whereas differentiating competencies will distinguish the top performers from the rest.

Answer to #2

Contextual congruency refers to a performance management system's congruency with the organization's culture as well as the broader cultural context of the region or country. In contrast, strategic congruency refers to the system's congruency between individual/team performance and unit- and firm-level strategic goals.

Answer to #3

Self-serving, social projection, and false consensus biases affect job analysis ratings because they lead people to believe that their own KSAs are those driving success in their jobs. So, these lead to an exaggerated view regarding the KSAs neededand this exaggeration is based on precisely the KSAs that job incumbents have.

Answer to #5

F: The appraisal meetings can be combined as needed or held separately.

Answer to #6

Standards must include an action (increase), the desired result (to 22,000), a due date (by December 1st), and some type of quality or quantity indicator (the increase in sales from 15,000 to 22,000 and at a cost not to exceed 3,000).
