Yes, lai an. It's an assessment method. '360-degree feedback' means assessment by everyone who are in contact with the evaluatee. It can be the assessment of subordinates by their superiors or the other way round. I'm thinking along the lines of "obligatory pressure".

Hi Pei Ling. Can you give more context - what is 360-degree feedback referring to. Is it workers assessing their bosses for example.

agree orientalhorizon : 这里是在说人情与规定之间的矛盾。中国人历来有“人情大于王法”之说,从此处的上下文来说,其实就是“influences by interpersonal relationships”,要么怕得罪人,要么想照顾一下亲朋好友。同意采用“interperonal relationship”。
