Which of the following review methods measures an employee's performance against notable events?

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:

The critical incident method involves evaluating an employee’s performance based on specific, notable events (incidents) that exemplify exceptional or poor performance. These incidents are documented and used to assess overall effectiveness.

Option A (Ranking): This ranks employees against each other, not based on specific events.

Option B (Critical incident): Correct, as it focuses on notable performance events.

Option C (Forced distribution): This categorizes employees into performance groups (e.g., top 10%), not event-based.
