Abstract
The performance evaluation of a supervisor usually relies solely on th e observations and judgments of the supervisor's supervisor. However, the validity of performance evaluations could be improved if a variety of sources were consulted: One of these sources is the supervisor's s ubordinate. This article provides a detailed discussion of how a valid and reliable instrument for upward appraisal was developed at the Day ton-Montgomery County (Ohio) Public Library.
