C、Time is allowed for appraisee preparation and appraiser training
D、There is an implied link between assessment and reward
【参考答案及解析】
Rationale: This is a double edged sword: a link between assessment and reward may motivateemployees to take appraisal seriously, but can also make it threatening if they fear that they haven't done well. Moreover, there are other factors in setting rewards - and if there isn't a real connection between a positive appraisal and a meaningful reward, the 'implication' that there is will only undermine the appraisal system. The other options are clearly positive.
