Answer: (c) Trait
Explanation: Traits are the characteristics that an individual possess. Performance assessment on the basis of traits is one of the commonly used tool. It evaluates an employee on the basis of the qualities that he or she posses such as leadership, appearance, dressing, initiative, attitude, work ethic, punctuality, etc. The employees are given ratings like excellent, satisfactory, needs improvement, etc. However, the problem with trait methodology is that although it focuses on meaningful dimensions of an employee but it also contains the most risk of rater bias and subjectivity.
