Multirater Assessment Process - A Literature Review.

Abstract

Abstract : This report is a review of the literature associated with multirater assessments. An analysis of this literature indicates that multirater assessment systems may be a useful tool for promoting accurate self-assessment of strengths and weaknesses among Army personnel. Furthermore, multirater assessments encourage developmental growth in areas relevant to leadership and reinforce organizational values. The United States Army is concerned with continuous self-development of all soldiers. Self-development often begins with an accurate assessment of strengths and weaknesses. This literature review was conducted to examine the potential of multirater assessments, also known as 360-degree evaluations, for systematic use by the Army. Possible utilization of multirater assessments includes applications which would promote accurate self-assessment, encourage developmental growth in areas relevant to leadership, and reinforce organizational values. A growing literature on the use of multirater assessments in commercial organizations is reviewed and discussed in this report. This review was completed by the ARI Research Unit at Fort Leavenworth in conjunction with the Leadership Research and Assessment Division of the Center for Army Leadership (CAL), and the results were briefed to the Director, CAL, February 1997.
