    Study Notes

    Goal-Setting in Performance Appraisals

    • Goal-setting is a crucial aspect of performance appraisals, helping employees focus on specific objectives and achieve desired outcomes.
    • SMART goals are commonly used:
      • Specific: Clearly defined goals
      • Measurable: Quantifiable targets
      • Achievable: Realistic expectations
      • Relevant: Aligns with company objectives
      • Time-bound: Deadlines for completion
    • Goal-setting involves:
      • Collaborative goal-setting between employees and managers
      • Establishing measurable performance indicators (KPIs)
      • Regular progress monitoring and feedback

    360-Degree Feedback

    • 360-degree feedback is a multi-source evaluation method, gathering input from:
      • Supervisors
      • Peers
      • Direct reports
      • Internal or external customers
      • Self-assessment
    • This approach provides a comprehensive view of an employee's performance, highlighting strengths and weaknesses from various perspectives.
    • Benefits include:
      • Increased accuracy and fairness
      • Improved self-awareness and personal growth
      • Enhanced employee development and training

    Evaluation Methods

    • Common evaluation methods used in performance appraisals:
      • Rating scales (e.g., 1-5, excellent to poor)
      • Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS)
      • Management by objectives (MBO)
      • Forced distribution (e.g., ranking employees)
      • Narrative evaluations (written descriptions)
    • Each method has its advantages and limitations, and the choice of method depends on the organization's goals and culture.

      • Providing opportunities for growth and advancement
      • Fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement

      • Improving job performance
      • Enhancing employee engagement and motivation
      • Increasing employee retention

      • Align with the organization's overall strategy and goals

      • Foster a culture of continuous improvement and growth
