Popis: Sixty supervisor-subordinate pairs were sampled before and after annual performance appraisal interviews used to discuss the subordinates' goal accomplishments over the past 12 months. The pairs were randomly selected from exempt employees of an industry headquartered in the Northwest. The data showed little agreement between superiors and their subordinates on preappraisal conditions of interest but moderate agreement on the affective orientation of the interview, objective qualities of it, and the nature of subordinate performance. However, in spite of the agreement across pairs on the pattern of performance discussions (reflected by supervisor-subordinate correlations), they did not agree on the level of performance; mean differences between the groups still existed after the sessions.
