A study of subjective evaluation models

Abstract

The research reported explores some questions which arise when staff groups, such as operations research groups, are faced with obtaining a quantitative representation of an individual's or an organization's evaluation scheme. The study is concerned with the ability of professional hospital personnel to develop and use a subjective evaluation model in a reliable manner, the possible forms of such a model, and the extent to which the models used by the professionals reflected some recognizable organizational evaluation scheme.
