Performance appraisal evaluation has focused on psychometric refinements. This paper proposes an alternative method of evaluation by concentrating on the dimen sions on the appraisal instrument. These dimensions are compared with organization members' constructs for productive behavior. To the extent that the constructs and the dimensions are similar, the system will be more effective in evaluating productive be havior. Implications for the evaluation of performance appraisal systems are discussed.
