Yet it is the subject of criticism - including its effects on the well-being of employees - and several decisions of the Court of Cassation. This note presents an overview of the matter setting out the main arguments that debate today. Then, based on the exploitation of a survey of employees, the empirical study here shows that employees valued derive more satisfaction than employees not evaluated, either in terms of earnings or on the recognition of their work.
Regarding the impact on stress, the results are more complex: the study shows that the average stress is not from the assessment interview itself but mainly organizational contexts are more conducive to stress in which are further evaluated against employees not measured (eg
because the changes of work organization are an important factor favoring the development of assessment interviews).
