    employees. Therefore, he didn’t have any
    problems in decision making.
- For examples, the employees is a very slow-
    learner, but then the managers is confident that
    the   employees   doesn’t   have   any   special
    abilities.
    Confirmation bias
-   This is when the manager judge his employees based on
     the judgment that he had made in the past, and he will
     eliminate all the information that contradicts with his past
     judgment.
- The employees might produce unsatisfactory outcome, but
     he already try so hard, and there is external factors that
     affect his work, however, the managers still believe that it
     is the employees own mistakes.
   Availability bias
- When the managers judge the employees
  based on the information that he already
  receive.
- The employees report : if the supervisor state
  in the employees report that the employees
  had done a very satisfying job, the managers
  will buy it and from there he make his
  judgment.
 Anchoring Bias
- The managers judge his employees by
  looking at his first impression and eliminate
  other backgrounds.
   Hindsight Bias
-   The managers is already expect the outcome
    from his prediction.
-   - For examples the managers expect the
    employee to do his job well, however the
    outcome didn’t not meet his expectation even
    though the employees is already did a very
    satisfying job.
CONCLUSION

  make a judgment because by performing
  judgment, he make decision making.
 His decisions will effect the employees job
  performances.
