Abstract

Plaintiffs' expert witnesses in EEO cases involving performance appraisals often claim that adverse
impact is a result of the type of rating format used. Their theory is that more specific rating criteria will
lead to lessened adverse impact. We tested that theory by comparing data from a simple category‐based
rating system against data from a standards‐based Work Planning and Review appraisal system with over
248,000 performance appraisals of state employees. Using logistic regression and statistical definitions of
prima facie discrimination, we found no support for the hypothesis that adverse impact is materially affected by
criterion specificity. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
