Abstract
Peer evaluation has recently become popular as an alternative to traditional performance appraisal. Research has described peer evaluation's growing use, its potentially high validity and some of its related psychological mechanisms, but has not developed a framework for measuring or predicting its success. This paper proposes such a framework and examines its elements in a multi-method field study. Several context, design and implementation factors are found to correlate with successful peer evaluation. Based on the findings, a dynamic model is developed, and implications are discussed.Keywords
