    Study Notes

    Performance Evaluation Process

    • Performance standards are established during job design and should be clear, objective, and measurable.
    • Standards can be numerical, such as sales quotas or production output, or non-numerical, such as language proficiency.
    • The performance standards should be communicated to employees so they understand their responsibilities, deadlines, performance criteria, and how their work contributes to the goals of the unit.
    • Feedback from employees ensures the information is received and understood.
    • Measuring performance, using methods like personal observation, statistical reports, and written reports, is critical.
    • The criteria used to measure performance are crucial and should align with the established standards to avoid confusion and decreased employee motivation.
    • The comparison of actual performance with the standards will highlight areas needing improvement.
    • Performance results are discussed with the employee to provide feedback about strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.
    • Feedback is crucial, especially when performance is below expectations, as it impacts self-esteem and future performance.
    • Corrective action should address both symptoms and underlying causes.
    • Corrective actions include coaching, counseling, training, and assigning new responsibilities or projects.
    • Appraisals may also lead to salary increases or promotions.

    Who Conducts Appraisals?

    • Appraisals are usually conducted by supervisors who have knowledge of the employee's work.
    • The immediate supervisor typically conducts the appraisal, which is then reviewed by the departmental head or manager.
