Abstract
Some studies have insisted that leniency and centrality bias have bad effect on the relationship performance evaluation and promotion decision. However, there has been no empirical evidence for this effect because such an archival data with performance evaluation is unavailable. Our analysis toward an archival data in a listed company reveals that leniency bias has little effect on promotion decision while centrality bias drive the relationship between promotion decisions and performance evaluation. This result suggest that centrality bias can reduce the usefulness of performance evaluation for promotion decision.
