Monthly employee evaluations are an excellent tool for managers. With them, employees that are not productive can be removed from the company, and efficient workers rewarded, and all within the space of a month.
The argument above logically depends on which of the following assumptions?
A Workers do not in turn complete evaluations of the management of the company.
B Unproductive employees often refuse to co-operate with the managers doing the evaluations, because they see these evaluations as a violation of their privacy.
C Most studies indicate that employee evaluations have no bearing whatsoever on worker satisfaction.
D Evaluations can identify with some accuracy whether an employee is productive or not.
E Employee evaluations are a better source of information about employee grievances than are monthly staff meetings.

The argument claims that monthly employee evaluations are an effective tool for managers because they allow them to remove unproductive employees and reward efficient ones within a month. For this reasoning to hold, an important assumption is that these evaluations can accurately determine which employees are productive and which are not.
If evaluations were inaccurate, then the entire argument would fall apart since firing and rewarding decisions would be based on unreliable information.
Thus, the correct answer is:
(D) Evaluations can identify with some accuracy whether an employee is productive or not.
If evaluations were inaccurate, then the entire argument would fall apart since firing and rewarding decisions would be based on unreliable information.
Thus, the correct answer is:
(D) Evaluations can identify with some accuracy whether an employee is productive or not.
