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.
