Role of the individual to ensure
organizational performance
• An organisation is a lifeless entity
• It requires people (individuals and teams)
• People are required to perform certain inter-related/
dependent functions, just like a system
• Organisation effectiveness is a team effort

SYSTEMS APPROACH
• System consists of different parts
• Each is dependent on the other
• The whole is more than the sum of
its parts
• All the parts must have shared
understanding of what is to be
achieved

2. Describes required knowledge, skills and attitude
3. Specifies relevant equipment/ tools to support the
employee
2. Each job is divided into a number of functions and
tasks
3. Performance management tool is then developed

management issues.
