7. What is performance management?
Performance management is ‘a process which contributes to the effective
management of individuals and teams in order to achieve high levels of
organizational performance. As such, it establishes shared understanding about
what is to be achieved and an approach to leading and developing people which
will ensure that it is achieved.
* Source : ARMSTRONG, M. and BARON, A. (2004) Managing performance: performance management in action. London: Chartered
Institute of Personnel and Development.
There’s no single best approach to performance management, as what is helpful
will depend on context: for example, the job in hand, organizational culture and
business strategy.
“One Size Fit All ”
* Performance Management should be:
• Strategic – it aligns with broad issues and long-term goals.
• Integrated – it should link various aspects of the business and how people are managed.

management process:
 Performance Measurement

9. Fundamentals of Human Resource Management, Chapter 10, slide 9
Performance management systems have
three main purposes:
1. Two-way feedback – performance measures mutually set
between employee and employer
2. Development – identify areas in which employees have
deficiencies or weaknesses
3. Documentation - to meet legal requirements
 Performance Measurement

10. Fundamentals of Human Resource Management, Chapter 10, slide
Performance management systems aren’t perfect.
– Focus on the individual: discussions of performance may elicit
strong emotions and may generate conflicts when
subordinates and supervisors do not agree.
– focus on the process: company policies and procedures may
present barriers to a properly functioning appraisal process
– appraisers may be poorly trained

15. Performance Measurement:
Theories of Incentives and Behavior
 Pay Plan is typically used to energize , direct , sustain or control the behavior of
current employee.
 Three Theories help explain compensation’s effect on employee behavior :
o Reinforcement Theory
o Expectancy Theory
o Agency Theory

16. How dose Pay influence individual
employees?
o Reinforcement Theory :
 Response followed by a reward is more likely to recur in the future. The implication
for compensation management is that high employee performance followed by a
monetary reward will make future high performance more likely . By the same token
, high performance not followed by a reward will make it less likely in future.
 The theory emphasizing the importance of a
person’s actual experience of a reward.
 It is based on “law of effect”, i.e, individual’s behavior
with positive consequences tends to be repeated, but
individual’s behavior with negative consequences tends
not to be repeated.

17. How dose Pay influence individual
employees?
o Expectancy Theory :
 states that employee’s motivation is an outcome
of how much an individual wants a reward
(Valence), the assessment that the likelihood that
the effort will lead to expected performance
(Expectancy) and the belief that the performance
will lead to reward (Instrumentality).
 In Simple words , it proposes that an individual
will behave or act in a certain way because they
are motivated to select a specific behavior over
other behaviors due to what they expect the
result of that selected behavior will be.

18. How dose Pay influence individual
employees?
o Agency Theory :
 It focus on the divergent interest and goals of the organization’s stakeholders and
the ways that employee compensation can be used to align these interests and
goals .
