Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: We examined the information gathering methods that people use when judging the competence of coworkers. We hypothesized that (1) people will use information gathering methods that involve direct communication more than those that involve indirect or no communication for judging the competence of coworkers, and that (2) people will use information gathering methods that involve direct communication more for judging task-specific competence than for judging general competence. To test our hypotheses, we asked 533 participants to describe a previous work experience involving a competent coworker and the information source they used in deciding that the coworker was competent. Surprisingly, counter to Hypothesis 1, participants reported relying more on reputation and on observation than on direct communication to judge the competence of coworkers. Hypothesis 2 was supported.
