    Construction of behaviourally anchored rating scales (BARS) for the measurement of managerial performance
    (AOSIS OpenJournals, 1989-05) Spangenberg, H. H.; Esterhuyse, J. J.; Visser, J. H.; Briedenhann, J. E.; Calitz, C. J.
    BARS were initially developed as indices of behavioural change and to ensure greater comparability of ratings from different raters. In this study, BARS were developed for a major producer-wholesaler company in the liquor industry to serve as an independent criterion in the validation of the company's assessment center, to assess the impact of development activities on the skill levels of assessment centre participants and as a diagnostic tool in identifying performance deficiencies. A step-by-step account of the four stages in the development of BARS is presented, together with examples of actual scales for the final steps.

    Validation of an assessment centre against BARS : an experience with performance related criteria
    (AOSIS OpenJournals, 1989-05) Spangenberg, H. H.; Esterhuyse, J. J.; Visser, J. H.; Briedenhann, J. E.; Calitz, C. J.
    The objective of this study is to determine the validity of a middle management assessment centre. Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scales were developed specifically for this purpose. The results testify to the validity of this assessment centre and lend support to the argument that assessment centres do indeed predict performance criteria (viz a viz potential/advancement criteria). The validity coefficients for the various dimensions are indicated.
