• Resumen

  • Peer evaluations allow individuals to express their assessment of the contributions of group members. Having this opportunity is popular in both face-to-face and online environments. Peer evaluations provide a sense of empowerment and distributive justice to individuals. The present study examines differences concerning the utilization of peer evaluations for face-to-face groups and online groups. Significant differences exist in the peer evaluations that these two groups reported. Online group members are more likely to differentiate their evaluations of fellow group members. In addition, online group members tend to differentiate peer evaluations to a greater extent. Implications for managing groups and future research are discussed.
