Review on the Relationship between Feedback Environment and Performance Appraisal (2004-2015)

摘要

Levy and Williams (2004) established a framework about the social context of performance appraisal. Feedback environment/feedback culture refers to one of the most significant process proximal variables. In the meanwhile, the majority of researchers have paid attention to the relationship between feedback environment and performance appraisal. Firstly, the paper reviews the concept and measurement of feedback environment. Furthermore, it focuses on reviewing research about feedback environment, feedback-seeking behaviour, and other active behaviours. Finally, some suggestions are proposed for the future research.
