Discuss the implications of the judgmental and mechanical methods of assigning performance scores

There are a variety of factors that can affect the overall performance rating of an individual. Aguinas (2013) defines two methods—judgmental and mechanical—for reaching an overall score, and states that the mechanical approach is preferable in most cases, particularly if performance objectives are not weighted. Review “Case Study 6-2: Judgmental and Mechanical Methods of Assigning Overall Performance Score at The Daily Planet” at the end of Chapter 6 in the Performance Management textbook. Discuss the implications of the judgmental and mechanical methods of assigning performance scores. In developing your initial response, be sure to draw from, explore, and cite credible reference materials. In responding to your classmates’ posts, you are encouraged to examine their opinions, offering supporting and/or opposing views.
