...that ‘distinctive human resource practices help to create unique competencies that differentiate products and services and, in turn, drive competitiveness’. Therefore, winning organizations get their competitive edge from a Performance Management System (PMS) that helps them hire talented people, place them in the right position, align their individual performance with the organization’s vision and strategic objectives, appraise them, develop their abilities, and reward performance commensurate with contributions to the organization’s success. However, organizations need to understand some of the human resource practices in order to maximize the benefits, such as Performance PMS. With reference to orthodox and radical criticisms, this essay will argue the extent to which PMS is more superior to performance appraisal in managing performance in a modern organization. Performance management is a systematic process for improving organizational performance by developing the performance of individuals and teams. It is a means of getting better results by understanding and managing performance within an agreed framework of planned goals, standards, and competency requirements. (Armstrong 2009). The essential components or parts of an effective PMS include: Performance planning (includes employee goal setting / objective setting); Ongoing performance communication; Data gathering, observation and documentation; Performance appraisal meetings; Performance diagnosis and coaching (http://www...

Introduction Once an employee has been chosen for a job, and has been doing it for long enough, their performance should be evaluated in order to provide feedback on the quality of the employee’s appointment, qualifications, work, etc. Performance appraisal is the ideal opportunity for top management, as well as the Human Resources Management department, to see which aspects of the performance of a worker need improvement, what kinds of development program can be provided, and what support will be necessary for the process to be completed. Performance review revises both past performance and the goals of future performance. Appraising an employee’s performance is an essential part of performance management, but does not constitute the entire process of management. It is one of the tools which HRM has at its disposal to get a grasp of the work, goals, and motivations of the workers in a company. 2. Basic concepts of Performance Management and Appraisal Performance management is an amalgamation of different activities that, once collected...

...increasing scrutiny over their performance, their costs and the extent to which they employ modern management practices. Yet while performance management techniques are widespread in the commercial sector, it is difficult to apply these directly to central banks. This article begins by setting out what is involved in performance management and discusses some of the problems that occur in applying them to central banking. In a second section, some examples of best-practice activities in performance management are considered. It is hoped that this will open a debate about performance management - a debate to which all central banks are invited to contribute1. Performance management in modern organisations is concerned with outcomes (results), outputs (products) and inputs (activities) in that order. It should be concerned with improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the conversion processes between each level of the orgnaisation, and it needs to take account of the degree to which the organisation is conditioned by, or able to control, its environment in seeking to achieve its objectives. What then are the problems with applying performance measurement to central banks? This article groups them into three. First, central banks have to satisfy multiple stakeholders, outcomes and outputs; second, perverse results can arise from pursuing some measures at the expense of others; and third, there are few comparators to turn to for guidance. From a performance measurement perspective...

...Title: Performance Appraisal Techniques In Organisation. Problem To study the existing patterns of performance appraisal, the effects and requirements of Performance Appraisal in the Organisation. Introduction: Performance appraisal is the key ingredient of performance management. In a work group, members, consciously or unconsciously, make opinion about others. The opinion may be about their quality, behaviour, way of working, etc. such an opinion may be about their subordinates for determining many things like salary increases, promotion, transfer, etc. in big organisations, and this process is formalized and takes the form of performance appraisal. Performance appraisal in some form has existed in olden days also. For example, Wei Dynasty (221-265 A.D.) in China introduced Performance Appraisal in which an imperial ratter used to appraise the performance of members of the official family. In its present form, the New York City civil service adopted performance appraisal in formal way this now has been adopted by most of the large organizations particularly in business field. Many people who think that performance management (some call it performance development) is a new name given to well-established term “performance appraisal” and therefore, there is no difference between the two. The very basic of this thinking is that in many companies where performance management system has been adopted in place of performance appraisal, old practices of performance appraisal...

...or informal means of appraising their employees’ performance. If employees’ performance is good, organizations will want to reinforce it; and if it is bad, they will try to take corrective actions. Performance appraisal is the ongoing process of evaluating and managing both the behavior and outcomes in the organization (Carrell, Elbert & Hatfield, 2008). It is not a process that happens once a year or every six months, but one that happens every day. Stripped to its essentials, performance appraisal always involves setting work standards, assessing the employees’ actual performance relative to those standards, and providing feedback to the employees with the aim of motivating him or her to eliminate performance deficiencies or to continue to perform above par (Dessler, 2011). Indeed, performance appraisals are widely used for administrating wages and salaries, giving performance feedback, and identifying individual employee strengths and weaknesses (Mathis & Jackson, 2011). Definition of Performance Appraisal P erformance appraisal is the process of evaluating the behavior of the employees in the work place (Maxwell, 1992). This process assumes that the employees are aware of their performance standards, and that the supervisor also provides the employees with the feedback, development, and incentives required to help the person eliminate performance deficiencies. Basically, performance appraisal is intended to engage, align, and coalesce individual...

...Analysis of JetBlue Airways JetBlue Airways is a young airline that is very successful and is also growing rapidly. In this analysis, the human resource strategies, policies, and practices will be reviewed and analyzed with suggestions as to how human resources practices and equal opportunity employment law relates to JetBlue and how these practices and laws can be beneficial to all of the organization's human resources areas but also how they can be beneficial to JetBlue as an organization with a bright future. Hiring Practices JetBlue already has impressive hiring practices because they focus on finding the right people with great attitudes. However, there are three national equal employment laws that have been identified that will impact JetBlue's hiring practices. The first law identified is the Age Discrimination Act of 1967 which prohibits "employers from discriminating against individuals who were 40 to 65 years old" (Mondy, 2012). In making sure not to discount hiring people over the age of 40 whether they have previous airline experience or not can benefit JetBlue as an organization because many workers that are over the age of 40 have a great work ethic along with great customer service skills as noted by CVS executive, Stephen Wing (Mondy, 2012). This also creates diversity in the workplace which only enhances the organization. The second law identified is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that was amended in 1972. Title VII prohibits an employer...

...Case 7.1: The Politics of Performance Appraisal In most organizations managers are tasked annually to evaluate their employees' performance. During this time of evaluation, it is important for managers to thoroughly analyze each individual employee's quality of work as accurately as possible and without bias. The performance appraisal process can be difficult and is often dreaded by most managers. One of the major challenges that managers face when evaluating employees is accuracy. A manager may not recall (or witness) everything an employee has done, and he/she may have a certain bias towards particular employees that may positively or negatively impact an employee's evaluation. Case 7.1 presents a conversation between four managers, who work at Eckel Industries, discussing their views on the performance appraisal process and its complications. The tenure of the managers range from one to twelve years. During their discussion the topic of “fine-tuning” arises. Some of the managers shared that they have fine-tuned (giving an inaccurate rating/score; high or low) an employee's evaluation for the sake of motivating an employee to do better, achieve more, to quit, or to pass along an employee viewed as a problem to another department. The purpose of this case analysis is to evaluate the perspectives about performance appraisal presented by the managers in Case 7.1, discuss the point when “fine-tuning” evaluations becomes unacceptable distortion, and to discuss the steps I would...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION Performance appraisal is a process by which the job performance of an employee is evaluated (generally in terms of quality, quantity, cost, and time) typically by the corresponding supervisor. It is the process of obtaining, analysing, and recording information about the relative worth of an employee to the organization. Performance appraisal is an analysis of an employee's recent successes and failures, personal strengths and weaknesses, and suitability for promotion or further training. It is the formal assessment by a supervisor (the “appraiser”) of a subordinate’s (or “appraisee’s”) work performance over an agreed period of time. Ghana Health Services (GHS) is responsible for managing health services and staff within public health institutions. As part of its human resources management responsibilities, GHS has a procedure for evaluating staff performance. Until 2006, GHS used the standardized Civil Service forms and processes for conducting staff performance appraisals. Desiring to focus performance appraisal more on performance improvement and less on promotion, GHS developed its own performance appraisal process, which was pilot tested in four regions. Whilst the Civil Service performance appraisal system was conducted mainly by site managers and was supposed to be done yearly, the GHS new performance appraisal system was designed to be conducted by service delivery or ward managers (immediate supervisors) and to be completed every quarter.
