Abstract
This article provides insight into acceptance of peer/upward feedback systems, and also furnishes some implications for HR practice when implementing these systems. Participants' beliefs that ratees can develop their skills following feedback were positively related to attitudes toward the appraisal system. Perceived context variables such as development resource availability, social support, and time demands were related to these development capability beliefs, and to attitudes. Importance of the appraisal dimensions moderated the influence of the development capability beliefs on attitudes, and also contributed to attitudes. Beliefs that raters had adequate opportunity to observe relevant behavior were also related to attitudes. © 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
