Write critical incidents  A more accurate gauge 2. Develop performance  Clearer standards dimensions  Feedback 3. Reallocate incidents  Independent dimensions 4. Scale the incidents  Consistency 5. Develop a final instrument Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–23 FIGURE 9–8 Example of a Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale for the Dimension Salesmanship Skills Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–24 Management by Objectives (MBO) A comprehensive and formal organizationwide goal-setting and appraisal program requiring: 1. Setting of organization’s goals 2. Setting of departmental goals 3. Discussion of departmental goals 4. Defining expected results (setting individual goals) 5. Conducting periodic performance reviews 6. Providing performance feedback Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–25 Using MBO Potential Problems with MBO Setting unclear objective Time-consuming appraisal process Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Conflict with subordinates over objectives 9–26 Computerized and Web-Based Performance Appraisal Systems Allow managers to keep notes on subordinates. Notes can be merged with employee ratings. Software generates written text to support appraisals. Allows for employee self-monitoring and self-evaluation. Electronic Performance Monitoring (EPM) Systems  Use computer network technology to allow managers access to their employees’ computers and telephones.  Managers can monitor the employees’ rate, accuracy, and time spent working online.

Standards may be unclear; halo effect, central tendency, leniency, bias can also be problems. BARS Provides behavioral “anchors.” BARS is very accurate. Difficult to develop. Alternation ranking Simple to use (but not as simple as graphic rating scales). Avoids central tendency and other problems of rating scales. Can cause disagreements among employees and may be unfair if all employees are, in fact, excellent. Forced distribution method End up with a predetermined number or % of people in each group. Employees’ appraisal results depend on your choice of cutoff points. Critical incident method Helps specify what is “right” and “wrong” about the employee’s performance; forces supervisor to evaluate subordinates on an ongoing basis. Difficult to rate or rank employees relative to one another. MBO Tied to jointly agreed-upon performance objectives. Time-consuming.

Try to base the performance review on observable job behaviors or objective performance data. Make it clear ahead of time what your performance expectations are. Use a standardized performance review procedure for all employees. Make sure whoever conducts the reviews has frequent opportunities to observe the employee’s job performance. Either use multiple raters or have the rater’s supervisor evaluate the appraisal results. Include an appeals mechanism. Document the appraisal review process and results. Discuss the appraisal results with the employee. Let the employees know ahead of time how you’re going to conduct the review and use the results. Let the employee provide input regarding your assessment of him or her. Indicate what the employee needs to do to improve. Thoroughly train the supervisors who will be doing the appraisals. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–34 FIGURE 9–11 Guidelines for a Legally Defensible Appraisal 1. Preferably, conduct a job analysis to establish performance criteria and standards. 2. Communicate performance standards to employees and to those rating them, in writing. 3. When using graphic rating scales, avoid undefined abstract trait names (such as “loyalty” or “honesty”). 4. Use subjective narratives as only one component of the appraisal. 5. Train supervisors to use the rating instrument properly. 6. Allow appraisers substantial daily contact with the employees they’re evaluating. 7. Using a single overall rating of performance is usually not acceptable to the courts. 8. When possible, have more than one appraiser, and conduct all such appraisals independently. 9. One appraiser should never have absolute authority to determine a personnel action. 10. Give employees the opportunity to review and make comments, and have a formal appeals process. 11. Document everything: Without exception, courts condemn informal performance evaluation practices that eschew documentation. 12. Where appropriate, provide corrective guidance to assist poor performers in improving. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–35 Who Should Do the Appraising? Immediate supervisor Peers Self-rating Potential Appraisers Rating committee Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Subordinates 360-degree feedback 9–36 The Appraisal Interview Satisfactory—Promotable Types of Appraisal Interviews Satisfactory—Not Promotable Unsatisfactory—Correctable Unsatisfactory— Uncorrectable Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–37 FIGURE 9–12 Sample Employee Development Plan Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–38 Appraisal Interview Guidelines Guidelines for Conducting an Interview Talk in terms of objective work data Don’t get personal Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Encourage the person to talk Get agreement 9–39 FIGURE 9–13 Checklist During Appraisal Interview Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–40 Handling Defensive Responses How to Handle a Defensive Subordinate 1 Recognize that defensive behavior is normal. 2 Never attack a person’s defenses. 3 Postpone action. 4 Recognize your own limitations. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–41 How to Deliver Criticism How to Criticize a Subordinate 1 Do it in a manner that lets the person maintain his or her dignity and sense of worth. 2 Criticize in private, and do it constructively. 3 Give daily feedback so that the review has no surprises. 4 Never say the person is “always” wrong. 5 Criticism should be objective and free of biases. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–42 Formal Written Warnings Purposes of a Written Warning  To shake your employee out of bad habits.  To help you defend your rating, both to your own boss and (if needed) to the courts. A Written Warning Should:  Identify standards by which employee is judged.  Make clear that employee was aware of the standard.  Specify deficiencies relative to the standard.  Indicate employee’s prior opportunity for correction. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–43 Performance Management Performance Management  Is the continuous process of identifying, measuring, and developing the performance of individuals and teams and aligning their performance with the organization’s goals. How Performance Management Differs From Performance Appraisal  A continuous process for continuous improvement  A strong linkage of individual and team goals to strategic goals  A constant reevaluation and modification of work processes Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–44 Basic Building Blocks of Performance Management Direction sharing Goal alignment Ongoing performance monitoring Ongoing feedback Coaching and development support Rewards, recognition, and compensation Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–45 Why Performance Management? Total Quality Management The Performance Management Approach Resolution of Appraisal Issues Strategic Goal Alignment Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 9–46 Using Information Technology to Support Performance Management Assign financial and nonfinancial goals to each team’s activities along the strategy map chain of activities leading up to the company’s overall strategic goals. Inform all employees of their goals. Use IT-supported tools like scorecard software and digital dashboards to continuously monitor and assess each team’s and employee’s performance. Take corrective action at once.
