| description | The purpose of the paper is to present the results of semi-structured interviews undertaken with
expert raters (School Principals) within the Malaysian Education System. These interviews have
been conducted using a cognitive mapping protocol. The resultant causal cognitive maps are
explored for what they have to tell us about the Cognitive Processing Models (CPM) applied in
appraisal decision-making. From the research findings, it is clear that raters recognized the CPM
steps in their performance appraisal (PA) practice. The study also identifies the differences
between individual expert raters in terms of concepts and complexity in the decision making
process. Finally, the study discusses the implications of the research for the CPM and appraisal
decision-making process. |
