Abstract

The article presents the results of a study which analyzed performance feedback in the work setting. The study focused on dimensionalizing the construct of feedback to allow meaningful factors or dimensions to be used in its description. The factor analysis pointed to two dimensions. The distinction between negative and positive feedback was apparent. The other dimension was found only in conjunction with positive feedback. This distinction is based on source. Experts say further research needs to be done to demonstrate the relationship between the ordering of observables and other relevant constructs.
