The Interview in Staff Appraisal , first published in 1975, sets out to ensure that the work appraisal is used constructively and within a well-designed system. The book provides personnel and training managers, and others responsible for the introduction of an appraisal system into their work organisation, with a detailed analysis of the problems involved in initiating and operating an effective appraisal procedure, and offers constructive help based on a wide range of relevant behavioural research and on the practical experience of the author.
