360-Degree Feedback Score
operationalsurvey rollup · performance · score · individual
Average competency ratings derived from 360-degree feedback surveys.
Why it matters
What you measure connects, through the construct(s) it operationalizes, to outcomes organizations care about. The strongest evidenced links below (effect size × evidence × consequence):
Performance Feedback → Task Performance
Performance Feedback → Organizational Commitment
Performance Feedback → Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB)
How it’s computed
- Formula
- Average competency ratings from 360-degree feedback
- Measurement model
- operational (a formula over systems data) — not a reflective survey scale; “reliability” here means data quality, not internal consistency
What it operationalizes
This metric measures the construct(s) below from operational data. Through them, it connects to the meta-analytic relationship network — the bridge from what you measure operationally to what the science knows.
What we know
Synthesized Bayesian priors over relationships involving this metric’s construct(s) — the meta-analytic evidence, with 95% confidence intervals and between-study heterogeneity (I²). Follow a row for the full distribution, contributing studies, and code.
| Relationship | r (95% CI) | I² | k | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| → Overall Job Performance (predicts) | [0.31, 0.55] | 9% | 3 | meta-analytic |
| → Job Satisfaction (correlates) | [0.37, 0.55] | 100% | 2 | meta-analytic |
| → Organizational Commitment (correlates) | [0.24, 0.52] | 99% | 2 | meta-analytic |
| → Work Engagement (correlates) | [0.32, 0.36] | 57% | 2 | meta-analytic |
| → Job Satisfaction (predicts) | [0.37, 0.55] | 100% | 2 | meta-analytic |
| → Organizational Commitment (predicts) | [0.24, 0.52] | 99% | 2 | meta-analytic |
| → Task Performance (predicts) | [0.08, 0.45] | 77% | 2 | meta-analytic |
| → Emotional Exhaustion (predicts) | [-0.19, -0.01] | — | 1 | meta-analytic |
