In Organizational Behavior (OB) theories of performance management and productivity, the forced distribution technique is a rating and ranking procedure commonly used when assessing large numbers of employees [1]. The assessment can be interpreted as an "appraisal" of sorts, if you like. The procedure distributes a predetermined number of employees to be assessed by different categories. The measure of performance is "forced" inasmuch as employees are measured against their peers and not all can earn the highest ranking in the distribution of a category. The technique is much like being graded on a curve where only a certain percent of students can get an A. Rating and ranking in the forced distribution technique can be done either by superiors or by peer evaluation. [1] Cohen, R.J. & Swerdlik, M.E. (2005).
