Such actions may positively impact performance evaluation scores but damage the firm to the extent that the actions are inconsistent with organizational strategies and goals. In addition, our results suggest that changes over time, either in evaluators or financial performance level, can lead to inconsistent weightings of BSC categories. Such inconsistencies can cloud the relationship between employee performance and performance evaluation scores, and may create the impression of an unfair, arbitrary evaluation process. The lack of a fair and transparent reward system can reduce employees’ incentive to provide effort (Gibbs et al. 2004).
