Competing hypotheses: Will managers act positively or negatively to the “due process performance management” (DPPM)?

Negative response: 1) Lissak & Sheppard, 1983. managers emphasize cost, efficiency, and informality more heavily than fairness as criteria for resolving organization conflicts. 2) Longenecker, Gionia, and Sims 1987.

Useful measurement: “tendency to distort appraisal.”—inflate because…deflate because…

 

Useful argument: Wanous, Reichers, and Hudy (1997), if the construct being measured is sufficient narrow and ambiguous, a single item indicator can provide valid, practical and efficient measurement.
