A recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology examined how the frequency of progress observations affects perception. Researchers found that managers who frequently observed employees' output rated them as less productive compared to those observed less frequently, despite identical performance. This 'monitoring frequency effect' persists across various contexts, including medical assessments. The findings suggest that increased scrutiny may distort evaluations of performance, potentially leading to unfair assessments in workplace settings.
The study reveals that more frequent observations lead to lower assessments of performance, highlighting the 'monitoring frequency effect' especially in workplace evaluations.
This research shows that our perception of progress can be negatively impacted when we observe results more frequently, potentially affecting performance evaluations.
