on this issue, the traditional human resource management view
and the statistical process control view ()eming, BONL), are

of action plans, fre8uency, and rater training were more positively
related to appraisal satisfaction when suordinates e*perienced

a large span of control! The results provide sustantial support
for conceptuali+ing appraisal satisfaction as a contingent function
of oth appraisal characteristics and organi+ational variales!

The appraisal ratings of oth groups on each dimension were
correlated with measures of overall (o performance and promot
