criterion dimensions

in industrial and organizational psychology, multiple standards or variables used to evaluate the overall job performance of an employee. These may include such aspects of performance as productivity, effectiveness, absences, errors, and accidents. Multiple criteria are often preferred over the use of a single criterion because an individual may be outstanding in one aspect of job performance but below average in another.
