A combination of narrative critical incidents and quantified performance scales.
Explanation: A behaviorally anchored rating scale (BARS) is a performance appraisal method that combines qualitative and quantitative assessments of behavior. It uses specific examples of effective and ineffective behaviors related to job performance, known as critical incidents, to define ratings on a scale. This approach helps in reducing the subjectivity often associated with traditional rating methods, providing clearer expectations of performance and aiding in more accurate evaluations.
