Position section calculation (weighted responsibilities, responsibilities used as measurement level)

If weighted responsibilities are used, responsibility weights must be specified. The total responsibility weights must equal the responsibility section weight.

  1. Each responsibility score is calculated with this information to form the equivalent level against the overall rating scale levels, and then multiplied by its weight. 
    Normalized Score = (1 + ((Score - 1) * (Overall Rating Scale Levels - 1)) / (Rating Scale Levels - 1))
  2. The resulting weighted scores are added together and then divided by the total of the weights.
  3. The resulting score is the position section score that is displayed on the appraisal summary, in text and graph.

Example

Score Rating scale Responsibility weight Linear calculation Weighted score Total goal weight
Responsibility 1 3 6 20 (1+((3-1)*(5-1))/(6-1))=2.600 2.600*20=0.5200
Responsibility 2 5 6 30 (1+((5-1)*(5-1))/(6-1))=4.200 4.200*30=1.2600
20 + 30 = 50
Position section score

((0.5200 + 1.2600) / 50)

= 3.56
