Performance Appraisal
Setting work
standards, assessing
performance, and
providing feedback to
employees to
motivate, correct, and
continue their
performance.

HOW TO WRITE OBJECTIVES
Why am I
doing this?
How will we measure
what has been achieved
– cost, profits, quality?
What
does
success
look like?
How will I get this done –
what actions are needed,
what behaviours are
required?
Writing OBJECTIVES
Specific – are clear about what needs to be
achieved.
Measurable – include concrete easily measurable
criteria, quantitative and/or qualitative.
Attainable –not too tough or too easy.
Realistic – challenging yet attainable.
Time-bound – has a clear target date, defines
urgency

Appraisal Methodologies
Methods of Measuring Performance
a) Ranking Method: Is very old and simple form of
performance appraisal. An employee is ranked one against
the other in the working group or department.
 Example: If there are ten workers in the working group.
The most efficient worker is ranked number one and the
least efficient worker is ranked as number ten.
Ranking Methods Versus Rating Methods
 The simple ranking method involves having the
manager rank-order, from top to bottom or from
best to worst, each member of a particular work
group or department.
Ranking Methods Versus Rating Methods
 The paired comparison method
 It involves comparing each individual employee
with every other individual employee, one at a
time.
 It helps make the ranking method more precise.
Ranking Methods Versus Rating Methods
Ranking Methods Versus Rating Methods
 The forced distribution method involves
grouping employees into predefined
frequencies of performance ratings.
Forced Ranking/Distribution
 Forced ranking can help build high performance org. by
ensuring that managers clearly distinguish among employee
performance level.
 Can be arbitrary, unfair, & expose organization to
lawsuits
 Inherent subjectivity
 Forced rankings tend to be more effective in organizations
with high-pressure, results-driven culture
Graphic Rating-Scale Method
 Performance appraisal whereby each employee is rated
according to a scale of pre-defined characteristics that are
job performance related.
Graphic Rating-Scale Method
Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale
(BARS)
 A behavioral approach to performance appraisal
that consists of a series of vertical scales, one for
each important dimension of job performance.
Behavioral Observation Scale (BOS)
Employees are evaluated according to how frequently they
exhibit the required behaviour for effective performance.
The scores for each of these observed behaviours can then be
totalled to produce an overall performance score. In such
instances, the various measures of behaviour are normally
weighted to reflect the relative importance of the measure to
the overall job.
Behavioral Observation Scale (BOS)
Critical Incidents
Do not generally utilizes scale. The evaluator provides
specific examples of behaviors / outcomes recorded over
the feedback/evaluation period.
This process can be very time consuming but it allows the
feedback to cite specific examples of general measures
instead of general impression
Critical Incidents- Example
Significant
Incidents /
Observed
Behaviour
Significant Positives Significant negatives
Examples
 The employee identified a crucial need for a
change and wrote a programme that insistently
solved the existing problem.
 The employee brought to department’s
attention consequences that were not taken
into consideration and provided solutions to
overcome them.
Examples
 The employee intentionally overlooked to
inspect items leading to damage in major
parts of the used machine.
 The employee aggressively dealt with
colleagues/ students resulting in dramatic
consequence.
 The employee postponed actions on
assigned project claiming they are tedious.
 The employee continually resists
recommendations for improvement and
keeps the same stagnant performance.
Management By Objective (MBO)
 Philosophy of management that rates performance
on the basis of employee achievement of goals set
by mutual agreement of employee and manager.
Advantages of MBO
 Employees Can Measure Performance
 Quantifiable Goals
 Joint Effort
 Employee Satisfaction in Participation
