Editing Performance appraisal (section)

====Negotiated Performance Appraisal====
In negotiated performance appraisal the appraisal follows the typical format, but a facilitator is present who may mediate perceived risks of defensiveness, bias or conflict and can prevent the tendency of appraisers to leave areas of under-performance unaddressed. This approach has little presence in the literature around performance appraisal but may be of benefit in supporting face to face peer performance conversations.{{citation needed|date=September 2024}}

In general, optimal PA process involves a combination of multiple assessment modalities. One common recommendation is that assessment flows from self-assessment, to peer-assessment, to management assessment – in that order. Starting with self-assessment facilitates avoidance of conflict. Peer feedback ensures peer accountability, which may yield better results than accountability to management.  Management assessment comes last for need of recognition by authority and avoidance of conflict in case of disagreements. It is generally recommended that PA is done in shorter cycles to avoid high-stakes discussions, as is usually the case in long-cycle appraisals.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}}

Research has shown that the source of the feedback (either manager or peer) does not matter in influencing employees' subsequent innovative or extra-role behaviors after the feedback is received.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Eva |first1=Nathan |last2=Meacham |first2=Hannah |last3=Newman |first3=Alexander |last4=Schwarz |first4=Gary |last5=Tham |first5=Tse Leng |title=Is coworker feedback more important than supervisor feedback for increasing innovative behavior? |journal=Human Resource Management |date=July 2019 |volume=58 |issue=4 |pages=383–396 |doi=10.1002/hrm.21960 |url=https://eprints.soas.ac.uk/30420/3/Eva%20Is%20CoWorker%20Feedback%20More%20Important%20than%20Supervisor%20Feedback.pdf }}</ref> As long as the feedback is provided, the source does not matter.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Eva |first1=Nathan |last2=Meacham |first2=Hannah |last3=Schwarz |first3=Gary |title=Is Co-Worker Feedback More Important than Supervisor Feedback for Increasing Extra-Role Behaviors? |journal=Academy of Management Proceedings |date=August 2018 |volume=2018 |issue=1 |pages=11942 |doi=10.5465/AMBPP.2018.11942abstract }}</ref>
