INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
The performance appraisal is the process of obtaining, analyzing and
recording information about the relative worth of an employee. The focus of the
performance appraisal is measuring and improving the actual performance of
the employee and also the future potential of the employee. Its aim is to
measure what an employee does. Performance appraisals are regular reviews of
employee performance within organization. Generally, the aims of performance
appraisal are to:
 Give feedback on performance to employees.
 Identify employee training needs.
 Document criteria used to allocate organizational rewards.
 Form a basis for personnel decisions: salary increases, promotions, etc.
 Provide the opportunity for organizational diagnosis and development.
 Facilitate communication between employee and administration
It is a powerful tool to calibrate, refine and reward the performance of
employee. It helps to analyze his achievements and evaluate his contribution
towards the achievements of the overall organizational goals. By focusing the
attention on performance, performance appraisal goes to the heart of personnel
management and reflects the management's interest in the progress of the
employee. People differ in their abilities and their aptitudes. There is always
some difference between the quality and quantity of the same work on the same
job being done by two different people. Therefore, performance management
and performance appraisal is necessary to understand each employee's abilities,
competencies and relative merit and worth to the organization. Performance
appraisal rates the employees in terms of their performance.

10. 10
Performance appraisal takes into account the past performance of the
employees and focuses on the improvement of the future performance of the
employees. The main aim of the study was to explore the method which is
followed and effectiveness of the employees. The primary data required for the
study were collected through structured questionnaire, personal interviews and
informal talks. The second data was from the company manuals and the website
of the company. The data were analyzed and the findings were arrived at the
basis of which suggestions are made.

11. 11
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Today’s working climate demands a great deal of commitment and effort
from employees, who in turn naturally expect a great deal more from their
employers. Performance appraisal is designed to maximize effectiveness by
bringing participation to a more individual level in that it provides a forum for
consultation about standards of work, potential, aspirations and concerns. It is
an opportunity for employees to have significantly greater influence upon the
quality of their working lives. In these times of emphasis on “quality”, there is
a natural equation: better quality goods and services from employees who enjoy
better quality “goods and services” from their employers.
Performance appraisal is a process of assessing, summarizing and
developing the work performance of an employee. In order to be effective and
constructive, the performance manager should make every effort to obtain as
much objective information about the employee's performance as possible. Low
performance can push the organization back in today’s tough competition
scenario.
This study is an effort to know the degree to which the employees are
satisfied with the present appraisal system followed by the particular
organisation. (Amphenol FCI, Kochi)

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
Connectors today are increasingly taking over the duties that were
previously carried out through the direct connection of cables and wires to
electronic devices. They have grown into a wide business with a volume of
approximately 25 billion euro. Successful penetration into additional application
areas has been achieved through high technical standards and continuous
developments. The design range from miniature to large and heavy-duty
industrial connectors.
The use of connectors make it possible to cost efficiently build complex
plants and systems using modular components. Each organisation in this field
has heavy emphasis focusing on the advancement of the next generation high
speed interconnectors and power distribution solution as well as innovative
manufacturing solutions.
Production, specialization, and cooperation of connectors are highly
concentrated, and the industry’s growth has been multifaceted. A wide variety
of products are manufactured by the large specialized enterprises of the
industry. Playing an essential role in the development of production
specialization and cooperation are the creation of product lines with standard
parameters, the development of improved basic designs and manufacturing
processes, and comprehensive standardization.
The techniques used in the manufacture of electronic devices have
changed radically with the emergence of new areas of application in electronics.
The traditional techniques of processing materials are being supplanted by
manufacturing processes based on the use of photolithography, diffusion, ion

16. 16
implantation, and electron-beam, plasma, and plasmochemical techniques. The
raw materials used in the electronics industry must be of extremely high purity,
since the introduction of impurities determines the technical specifications and
performance characteristics of electronic devices.
The output of the electronics industry is growing rapidly, and the variety
of semiconductor (especially integrated-circuit), quantum, and cryoelectronic
devices, as well as devices based on acoustoelectronics and magnetoelectronics,
is increasing..
The growth of the electronics industry is outstripping that of other
branches of industry. Between 1966 and 1975, the output of the electronics
industry increased several fold, and its labour productivity more than
quadrupled. The principal means of improving production in the industry lie in
comprehensive mechanization and automation based on the development of
highly efficient equipment and apparatus, in computer-controlled automated
assembly lines, and in the introduction of advanced manufacturing processes
that are based on the latest scientific and technological achievements.
The government of India has set up electronic hardware technology park,
special economic zone and brought about favourable climate for foreign direct
investment. It also has increased liberalization and relaxed tariffs to promote
growth in the sector. The growing consumer based increased penetration in
consumer durable segments has provided enough scope for the growth of Indian
electronic sector. Also digitization of cables could lead to increased broadband
penetration in the country and open up new avenues for the companies in the
electronics industries.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

20. 20
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Performance appraisal is defined as the process of assessing the
performance and progress of an employee or a group of employees on a given
job and his / their potential for the future development. It consists of all
procedure used in working organization and potential of employees.
Performance appraisal means systematic evaluation of the personality and
performance of each employees by his superior or some other persons trained
in the technique of merit rating. It employs various ratings technique for
comparing individual employees in a work group, in terms of personnel
qualities or deficiencies and the requirements of their respective jobs.

 According to Dale Yoder, "Performance appraisal includes all formal
procedure used to evaluate personalities and contributions and potential of
group members in a working organization. It is a continuous process to secure
information's necessary for making corrections and objective decisions of
employees".
According to Flippo, "Performance appraisal is the systematic, period
and an importance rating of an employee's excellence in matters pertaining to
his present job and his potential for a better job".
According to Brumbrach (1988, cited in Armstrong, 2000) - Performance
can be actions as well as their consequences. Behaviours originate from a
performer and convert performance from a concept to an act. Not just the
instruments for results, behaviours are also outcomes in their own right - the
product of mental and physical effort applied to tasks - and can be judged apart
from results. This definition considers performance to be involving both the

21. 21
actions, in other word behaviours, taken during the process in attempting to
achieve goals and outputs obtained as a result from the effort.
Armstrong (2000) emphasizes the need for managers to deal with the
potential of employees and accomplishments while managing performance. To
determine if performance has been achieved, measures have to be developed to
appraise the accomplishments and establish the rate at which it has been
accomplished. Above all, performance should be about the decision and action
taken with available information at any existing situation.
Dulewicz (1989) says that there is an indispensable human inclination to
judge the work of other people as well as one's own work. It can thus be said
that appraisal is both unavoidable and universal. Even without the existence of a
planned appraisal system, one can have a tendency and find it natural to
evaluate the job performance of another easily and subjectively.
Performance appraisal was seen in the industry in early 1800. Randell
(1994) identified its use in Robert Owen's use of "silent monitors" in the cotton
mills of Scotland. The Silent monitors were in terms of blocks of wood with
different colours painted on each visible side and it was hung above each
employee's work station. At the end of the day, the block was turned so that a
particular colour, representing a grade of the employee's performance, could be
seen by everyone. (Weise and Buckley, 1998) Subjective evidence indicates that
this practice had a facilitating influence on subsequent behaviour.
Spriegel(1962) and Weise and Buckley(1998) affirm that by the early 1950s, 61
per cent of organizations regularly used performance appraisals, compared with
only 15 per cent immediately after World War II. DeVries et al. (1981) pointed
out the primary tool to be the trait-rating system, which focused on past actions,
using a standard, numerical scoring system to appraise people on the basis of a

22. 22
previously established set of dimensions. The main tool, used under here was
trait rating system.
The concept of Management by Objective (MBO) was first proposed by
Peter Drucker in 1954. Mcgreror then used it in the appraisal process in the year
1957. He suggested that, employees should be appraised on the basis of short-
term goals, rather than traits, which are jointly set by the employee and the
manager. Weise and Buckley (1998) affirm that this method was very
advantageous as it lead to a transformation of a manager's role from being a
judge to a helper. It also showed that employees' productivity ultimately leads to
performance. However, when employees' performance was measured on the
basis of units, then MBO was ineffective. This lead to new development in the
appraisal process and the employees were evaluated on the basis of 'behaviour
based rating'. Smith and Kendall (1963) designed the first tool to focus on
behaviours and it was the Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS)
CHARACTERISTICS
 Performance appraisal is a process.
 It is the systematic examination of the strength and weakness of
employees during the term of his job.
 It is a scientific and objective study. Formal procedure is used in the
study.
 It is an ongoing and continuous process wherein the evaluations are
arranged periodically according to a definite plan.
 The main purpose of performance appraisal is to ensure information
necessary for making objectives and correct decision an employee.

23. 23
PROCESS
The process of performance appraisal:
 Establishing performance standards
 Communicating the standards
 Measuring performance
 Comparing the actual with the standards
 Discussing the appraisal
 Talking corrective action
IMPORTANTS OR BENEFITS OF PERFORMANCE
APPRAISAL
A good system of performance of performance appraisal helps the
superior to evaluate the performance of his employees systematically and
periodically. It also helps him to assign that work to individuals for which they
are best suited. Performance rating helps in guiding and correction, superior
may use the result of rating for the purpose of constructively guiding in the
efficient performance of the work. The ability of the staff is recognized and can
be adequately rewarded by giving them special increments. Ratings can be used
to evaluate the effectiveness of training programs. Weaknesses of employees
are revealed by merit rating and the training program can be modified
accordingly.
Performance appraisal can be used as a basis of sound personnel policy in
relation to transfer and promotion. If the performance of an employee is better
than others, he can be recommended for promotion, but if a person is not doing
well on a job, he may he transferred to some other job. Systematic appraisal will

24. 24
prevent grievances and develop confident amongst the employees if they are
convinced of the impartial basis of evaluation. The records of merit rating are
available in permanent form to protect the management against subsequent
charges discrimination which might be levelled by the trade union leaders.
Performance appraisal has a beneficial effect on both the persons doing the
appraisal and being appraised. The appraisal brings prominently to the attention
of superiors or executives the importance of knowing their subordinates as a
human resource. The necessity of performance appraisal leads the appraiser to a
thoughtful analysis of people rated and tends to make him more alive with
opportunities and responsibilities in developing the subordinates.
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL METHODS
Each method of performance appraisal has its strengths and
weaknesses may be suitable for one organization and non-suitable for
another one. As such, there is no single appraisal method accepted and
used by all organizations to measure their employees’ performance. All the
methods of appraisal devised so far have been classified differently by
different authors. Michael R Carrell et. al. have classified all appraisal
methods into as many as six categories: rating scales, comparative
methods, critical incidents, 6ssay, MBO and combination methods. Rock
and Levis” have classified the methods into two broad categories: narrow
interpretation and broad interpretation. Beatty and Schneier have
categorized various methods of appraisal into four groups: comparative
methods, absolute methods, goal setting, and direct indices.
A more widely used classification of appraisal methods into two
categories, they are: traditional methods and modem methods, is given by

25. 25
Strauss and Sayles”. While traditional methods lay emphasis on the rating
of the individual’s personality traits, such as initiative, dependability, drive
creativity, integrity, intelligence, leadership potential, etc.; the modem
methods, on the other hand, place more emphasis on the evaluation of
work results, i.e., job achievements than the personal traits! Modem
methods tend to be more objective and worthwhile. The various methods
included in each of the two categories are listed in Table below:

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

27. 27
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is the way in which research problems are solved
systematically. It is a science of studying how research is conducted
scientifically. The methodology used in the study involves the collection of
primary as well as secondary data.
.
RESEARCH DESIGN
Research Design refers to "framework or plan for a study that guides the
collection and analysis of data".
SAMPLE DESIGN
A sample design is defined as a plan determined before any data are
actually collected for obtaining a sample from a given population. Sample can
be either
probability sample or non-probability sample.
In designing the sample the researcher must specify three things.
 Sampling unit
 Sample size
 Sampling technique
SAMPLING UNIT
The unit Comprises of employees from all departments.
SAMPLE SIZE
The sample size taken for this survey was 50 employees. Employees from
every department were selected according to their availability.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE USED

28. 28
When field studies are under undertaken in practical life, consideration of time,
cost and some other factors almost invariably lead to selection of respondents.
The selected respondents constitute a sample and the selection process is called
sampling technique. The method selected for this project is simple random
sampling.
SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING
This type of sampling is also known as chance sampling or probability
sampling, where each item in the population has an equal chance of being
selected in the sample.
SOURCE OF DATA
This research study is exclusively based on primary data collected.
 PRIMARY DATA
The objective of the study has been accomplished with the help of
primary data collected from 50 employees. The selected samples are met in
persons and the data has been collected with the help of a questionnaire. The
questionnaire used in this survey consists of structured type of questions.
Primary data refer to the data collected from primary sources. The primary data
were obtained by distributing questionnaires among the employees. Also
Interview with employees contributed in the finding of the research.
SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data were collected from official records of the organization,
websites and from other publications. Data which are not originally collected
but rather obtained from a published or unpublished source, are known as
secondary data. The Main Sources are:
 Journals and records

29. 29
 Magazines
 Web sites.
STATISTICAL TOOLS
The secondary tools used for analyzing the collected data are:-
 PERCENTAGE METHOD
Percentage is used to compare relative terms and the distribution of two
or more series of data the ease and simplicity of calculating, the general
understanding of its purpose and the universal acceptability of the present static
have made it the most wid ely and standardizing tool in researchers. Since the
percentages reduce meaningful comparison to be made with data.
Percentage analysis formula
Percentage = (Number of Respondents/ Total population of the sample) x 100
TOOLS FOR THE DATA COLLECTION
 QUESTIONNAIRE
Structured questionnaire in which the questions were based on the
objective set for the research was used for collecting the information and to
some extend observation also helped the researcher to give some additional
information.
VARIABLES: Sex, age, designation, experience.
 INTERVIEW
This method was also adopted for data collection. The interview was mainly
done with Managers so that they will give more details about the kind appraisal
methods they were following in the past and the present.
