Feedback als Moderator der Validität von Selbstbeurteilungen

Published Online:September 01, 2006https://doi.org/10.1026/1617-6391.4.1.19

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Bisherige Untersuchungen fanden nur eine mäßige Validität von Selbstbeurteilungen (Validierungskriterium: Vorgesetztenbeurteilungen). Als eine Erklärung hierfür wird das oftmals begrenzte Ausmaß an Feedback über die eigene Leistung für die sich selbst beurteilende Person postuliert. Diese Erklärung wurde anhand einer Studie an N = 72 Geschäftsführern und deren Vorgesetzten (Vorstände) mittelständischer Unternehmen überprüft. In Übereinstimmung mit bisherigen Studien ergab sich ein geringer bis mäßiger Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden Urteilsquellen (r = .23; p < .05) und eine stärkere Korrelationstendenz (Halo-Effekt) sowie eine größere Varianz bei den Vorgesetztenurteilen. Als zentrales Ergebnis zeigte sich der erwartete Moderatoreffekt: bei überdurchschnittlich viel Feedback fiel die korrelative Übereinstimmung zwischen Selbst- und Vorgesetztenbeurteilung höher aus.


Feedback as a moderator of the validity of self-ratings

Abstract. Previous studies found only a moderate validity of self-ratings (criterion: supervisor ratings). We hypothesise that this can be explained by the often restricted amount of performance feedback for self-raters. This hypothesis was examined with a sample of 72 managers of medium-sized enterprises and their supervisors. In accordance with previous studies, a small to moderate correlation between self- and supervisor-ratings (r = .23; p < .05), stronger halo-effect and greater variance were found for supervisor ratings. Most importantly, results revealed that feedback moderated the relationship between self- and supervisor-ratings: managers who received more feedback showed higher congruence between self- and supervisor-ratings.
