The correct answer is C. Appraisal processes.
360-degree feedback is a process in which an employee receives feedback from their manager, peers, direct reports, and customers. It is often used as part of an employee’s performance appraisal.
Exit interviews are conducted when an employee leaves a company. They are used to gather feedback from the employee about their experience at the company.
Quality circle activity is a type of employee involvement program in which employees meet regularly to discuss and solve problems related to quality.
Reflection as part of a cycle of learning is a process in which individuals think about their experiences and learn from them.
360-degree feedback is most closely associated with appraisal processes because it is often used to assess an employee’s performance. Exit interviews, quality circle activity, and reflection as part of a cycle of learning are not typically used to assess an employee’s performance.
