    Este artículo presenta los resultados de tres estudios sobre el desarrollo y las propiedades psi- cométricas del método de evaluación del desempeño de los empleados de la Administración Pública del Principado de Asturias. En el estudio 1 se describe el desarrollo y la selección de las competencias a eva- luar. Para cada una de las tres grandes dimensiones del desempeño laboral se identificaron cinco compe- tencias que debían ser evaluadas. En el estudio 2 se describe cómo se elaboraron las escalas de valoración con anclajes conductuales para evaluar las competencias de desempeño de tarea, contextual y organizacional. En el estudio 3 se examinó la fiabilidad, la validez de constructo y la validez concurrente de las valoraciones del desempeño y se analizó el modelo mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio. Los resultados indican una elevada fiabilidad, tanto para las dimensiones como la evaluación global del desempeño. Un análisis de componentes principales indica la presencia de dos factores en los que cargan las valoraciones de los superiores inmediatos y los criterios objetivos externos respectivamente. El análisis factorial confirmatorio indicó que el desempeño puede representarse mediante un modelo jerárquico. Finalmente, los criterios objetivos externos correlacionan con las valoraciones de los superiores jerárquicos. Las implica- ciones de los resultados se comentan en la discusión.

    This article presents the results of three independent studies on the development and psychome- tric properties of the method of evaluating the performance of employees of Public Administration of the Principality of Asturias. Study 1 describes the development and selection of competencies to be assessed. For each of the three major dimensions of job performance, five competencies were identified that should be evaluated. Study 2 describes how we developed behaviorally-anchored rating scales for measuring competencies of task performance, contextual performance, and organizational performance. Study 3 examined reliability, construct validity and concurrent validity of performance appraisals. The results showed high reliability coefficients for both the dimensions and the overall performance assessment. An exploratory principal component analysis indicated the presence of two factors in which loaded (a) the evaluations of the immediate superiors and (b) external objective criteria, respectively.

    A confirmatory factor analysis showed that performance can be represented by a hierarchical model. Finally, external criteria and the ratings of managers showed to be correlated. The implications of the findings are commented on in the discussion.
