Abstract
Evaluators base their evaluations on information. This information comes from a number of sources such as financial records, production cost estimates, sales records, state legal code books, etc. Frequently the evaluator must collect additional data using instruments that he or she alone has developed or acquired from external sources. This is often the case for the evaluation of training and educational programs, evaluation of personnel policies and their impacts, evaluation of social and psychological environments of the workplace, and the evaluation of proposed changes in the way people do business or work.
