Abstract

The present research aims to validate and adapt a performance management measure in Portugal. In this study participated 1815. Stable and adequate psychometric properties were obtained (factorial validity, internal consistency and convergent validity). The measure consists of 28 items, divided into 5 factors (supervisor-employee relationship, favorable feedback, unfavorable feedback, document, and results), and coded on a 5-point Likert scale, which differs from the structure found by the originals authors. Furthermore, the relationship between this measure and the reaction to feedback was analyzed. We obtained a positive correlation between the sub-dimensions of this scale and the one regarding the reaction to feedback. In conclusion, this scale is a valuable asset as it allows a multidimensional perspective of performance management. In other words, it allows the analysis of the results following from the appraisal and the provision of valuable data regarding the communication of those results to the employees.
