Extract

Adler et al. (2016) present a comprehensive review of the fundamental and painful problems of performance appraisal in organizations, from which it appears that we cannot do without performance appraisal because of its benefits, and we cannot do with it because of its flaws. If so, how can organizations make a decision on this issue? Mend them or end them? (See also Culbertson, Krome, McHenry, Stetzer, & van Ittersum, 2013.)
