Abstract
Recent investigations on multi‐source feedback have focused on rating congruence. The extent to which self ratings are in agreement with the ratings of others has been linked to various individual outcomes such as derailment, likelihood of promotion and overall managerial effectiveness. This study takes this line of investigation one step further and investigates possible determinants of rating congruence. Using a series of regression analyses, various demographic and personality variables are shown to predict the extent to which self ratings converge with the ratings of supervisors, peers, and subordinates. Moreover, some of these predictors were found to be specific to congruence within specific rating dyads (e.g. self‐supervisor). The implications of these findings are discussed.Keywords
