DIMENSION OF PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

In performance appraisal, we measure many generic qualities and attributes of an individual performer, while we account for the achievement of targets.

It is for this reason that we need to understand the meaning of personal qualities and the demonstrated performance qualities.
