Task interdependence and extrarole behavior: a test of the mediating effects of felt responsibility
Article Abstract:
A model hypothesizing that task interdependence affects supervisor-reported extrarole behavior indirectly through employee felt responsibility was tested in this study. The model was supported by path analysis in a sample of 290 health-care and administrative employees in two hospitals. The results (a) demonstrate the importance of asymmetric felt responsibility to extrarole behavior and (b) show the need to include mediating psychological states when testing the effects of workplace structures on extrarole behaviors. New scales for measured employee-perceived task interdependence are introduced. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Employee responses to formal performance appraisal feedback
Article Abstract:
How do people react to formal performance evaluation feedback? How do people react to being told they are 'satisfactory'? Employees of two federal agencies were tested over 30 months about this question. The study found that employees who were judged satisfactory showed a drop in organizational commitment. This suggests potentially negative effects of comparative employee evaluation schemes. Moreover, employees who received higher ratings from formalized personnel review systems evidenced no change in commitment to the organization. The research also discusses the accuracy of self-administered appraisal rating systems.

Performance outcome feedback and attributional feedback: interactive effects on recipient responses
Article Abstract:
Recent models of performance evaluation view the process as an informational interchange, with two essential inputs: the feedback message, and the source of the feedback. However, there may be differences in attitudes between participants in an evaluation that could influence the effects of feedback. An experiment found that varying and discrepant explanations between source and recipient, as well as the perceived credibility of the source, could affect initial reactions to evaluation feedback.
