360-degree Feedback Systems

Paper details
Research evaluating 360-degree feedback systems tends to demonstrate superior outcomes to

evaluation including supervisors, peers, self-rating, subordinates, computer-based ratings, and in
some instances outside sources such as customers or clients. Discuss the advantages of a
multi-rater system to improve evaluation of leaders and subordinates. Examine the challenges of
the 360-degree feedback system especially considering how to increase rater agreement, frameof-reference, and how to ensure raters know what behaviors and characteristics comprise
effective performance. Lastly, analyze the future of 360-degree feedback and the inclusion of
computer-based assessment within a 360-degree feedback system.
