The administrative‐based ratings demonstrated a statistically significant relationship with ratee seniority, while the research‐based ratings did not. There was mixed support for a third hypothesis: Research ratings were significantly correlated with a predictor, while the administrative ratings were not. The difference between the validity coefficients, however, was not significant. Contrary to the hypothesis, the rank order between administrative‐based and research‐based ratings was relatively
