Self-Evaluation with and without Feedback as a Predictor of Attributions

Abstract

Attribution is often offered as an explanation for the observed difference between own and supervisor's evaluation of performance. Levy's (1993) attributional model posits self-evaluation as one of several predictors of a composite measure of individuals' attributions. This relation was investigated with the addition of performance feedback and analysis of both locus of control and stability attributional dimensions. Self-evaluation was the best predictor of the internal dimension of attribution, but no measure explained variance of the external attributional dimensions. Results were mixed for the stable and unstable dimensions and no conclusions were possible. These results suggest modification of Levy's model to enhance its predictive ability.
