Critical Incident MethodThese critical incidents represents the

Advantage and disadvantage of Critical Incident Method

Checklist Method

 

A checklist is a predetermined list of criteria against which the recorder answers yes or no

Checklists are highly selective, only giving the recorder the opportunity to record decision concerning the criterion.

There are no details to check the recorder’s decision.

Advantages of Checklist method The checklist is time and labor efficient.The checklist is comprehensive (it may cover

many developmental areas)The checklist is a documentation of

development.

Disadvantages of Checklist method It is difficult to make actual ranking for

employees.Standards may be unclear.The checklist loses details of the event.The checklist may be biased by the recorder.The checklist may have many items to check

making it time consuming.Can cause disagreements among employees

and may be unfair if all employees are, in fact, excellent.

of employees. Ease of development use and relatively low

development and usage cost. Reasonably high rater and rate acceptance.
