7. INTRODUCTION
“Performance appraisal” is a process of evaluating an employee’s
performance of a job in terms of its requirements. It is a “process of
estimating or judging the value, excellence, qualities or status of some
object, person or thing”. Performance appraisal has been considered as a
most significant and essential tool for an organization, for the information
it provides is highly useful in making decisions regarding various personal
aspects such as promotions and merit increases.
Performance appraisal is necessary to measure the performance of the
employees and the organization to check the progress towards the desired
goals and aims. The latest mantra being followed by organizations across
the world being – “get paid according to what you contribute” – the focus
ofthe organizations is turning to performance management and specifically
to individual performance. Performance appraisal helps to rate the
performance of the employees and evaluate their contribution towards the
organizational goals. If the process ofperformanceappraisals is formal and
properly structured, it helps the employees to clearly .
McGregorsays:“Formalperformance appraisalplans are designedto
meet three needs, one of the organization and the other two of the
individual, namely:
(i) They provide systematic judgments to back up salary increases,
transfers, demotions or terminations.
(ii) They are means of telling a subordinate how he is performing, and
suggesting needed changes in his attitudes, skills or job knowledge.
They let him know “where he stands” with the boss.
(iii) They are used as a base for coaching and counseling the individual
by the superior.
On the basis of merit rating or appraisal procedures of various
companies in India, the main objectives of employee performance
8. appraisal are:
(i) To enable an organization to maintain an inventory of the number
and quality of all managers and to identify and meet their training
needs and aspirations;
(ii) To determine increments rewards and provide a reliable index for
promotions and transfers to positions of greater responsibility;
(iii) To maintain individual and group development by informing the
employee of his performance standard;
(iv) To suggest ways of improving the employee’s performance when he
is not found to be up to the mark during the review period.
(v) To identify training and development needs and to evaluate effectiveness
of training and development programs.

when Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited(MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the
telecom services of Delhi and Mumbai. It is a well known fact that BSNL was carved
out of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecoms.
Subsequently in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private
Investment, therefore it became necessary to separate the Government’s policy wing

REASEARCH METHODOLOGY
DATA COLLECTION
There are 2 types of data available to a researcher. They are primary data and
secondary data.
Primary Data:
Primary data was collected from employees through the questionnaire.
Secondary Data :
Secondary data is the organization profile and was collected from the website.
SAMPLING METHODS :
• Type of Survey : Sample Survey
• Sample Unit : Employees from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited
• Sample Size : The sample size was limited to 100.
• Sampling Plan : Stratified Sampling Technique
Descriptive ResearchDesign:
This study is a descriptive research design based on survey method; First hand
data were collected from the employees through questionnaire method.
Descriptive research describes the characteristics of a particular individual, or of
a group, the researcher has come to know the need of performance appraisal
required in BSNL so survey will be made to know the level of performance
appraisal level from the employees in Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited Telephone
Exchange office Sakkardhara , Nagpur.
DATA COLLECTION PROCESS :
14. The employees were met at their organization and interview schedule was
distributed to them for which their responses were collected.
TOOLS FOR ANALYSIS :
Percentage Analysis
Percentage method is adopted to derive the exact representation of each of the
attribute from a group of responses. For each of the responses group total is first
ascertained. Each individual responds in the group of the divided by the total of
the group can multiple by hundred and the percentage is derived. Highest
percentage is given first rank followed by other descending rankings.
No. of response
Percentage of respondents = ---------------------------------- * 100

Chi-Square Analysis
A chi square test, developed by Prof. Fisher is considered as an important test
amongst the several tests used in statistics for judging the significance of the
sampling data. It is statistical measure with the help of which it is possible to
assess the significance of the difference between the observed frequencies and
the expected frequencies obtained from some hypothetical universe. Chi-square
test enables us to test whether more than two population proportion can be
considered equal. In order to that a chi-square test may be grouped in some way
and the theoretical distribution must be adjusted to give the same total frequency
which is equal to that of observed frequencies. The observed and expected
frequencies completely coincide when the chi-square is zero.

15. ANALYSIS OF DATA AND HYPOTHESIS
TESTING
DATA ANALYSIS:-
The collection of data, there are two important things – the sources of
information and the method of collecting the data. Sources of data can be primary or
secondary. Primary sources include the original documents i.e. the first reporting of
facts while secondary sources are facts from primary sources.
According to PROF JOHN GATTING –“Analysis of data refers to seeking the data in
the light of hypothesis of research questions and the prevailing theories and drawing
conclusions that are as amenable to theory formation as possible ”Interpretation is the
task of drawing conclusions and inferences from a careful analysis of data.
Analysis and Interpretation means mass data need to be reduced to meaningful number
by using various statistical devices like averages, mean, percentage, correlation, rank
correlation, regression, pie diagrams, simple bar diagram, horizontal bar diagram,
cylindrical bar diagram, graph, percentage bar diagram etc. For materials evaluation,
relevance, suitability for age, needs of learners and sequencing are also to be seen.
DISCUSSION
The data’s collected are discussed by applying statistical tools namely
Percentage Analysis & Chi-Squrae Analysis and they are represented in
diagrammatic form and inference are given for each factors in this
chapter.
