✦ Synopsis
In this contribution we investigate the potential influence between assessors' perceived completion of their work task at hand and their actual assessment of usefulness of the retrieved information.The results indicate that the number of useful documents found by assessors does not influence their perception of task completion. Also, with the exception of full text records and across all document types, both measured at rank 10, no statistically significant correlation is observed with respect to retrieval performance influenced by degrees of perceived work task completion or individual types of documents.
