In an investigation of the relationship between Japanese supervisors and American subordinate's perceptual congruence of IT (Influence Tactics) based on the interpersonal role-making model of Grean (1976), and supervisors' performance appraisals of their immediate subordinates, perceptual congruence was significantly related to supervisors' evaluations of their subordinates. Results of the analysis showed that IT can be effectively used as indicators for measuring perceptual congruence, as well as the importance of IT's perceptual congruence for impartial performance appraisals at cross-cultural working places.
