Executive Summary
Performance appraisal is the systematic and periodic evaluation of the individual with
respect to his performance on the job and his potential for development. Performance
appraisal system has been an integral part of every firm. Understanding the essence of it,
most of the firms conduct performance appraisal after a definite period of time. Attitudes
of employees are formed towards the appraisal system. The employees hold positive
attitudes when they find the appraisal system fair, well informed and understandable to
them, regular feedback for improvement. Positive attitudes of employees towards the
appraisal system lead the satisfaction, motivation and higher productivity.

From the three months Internship program, a report titled on Attitudes of Employees
towards the Performance Appraisal System of JBL has been completed. The broad
objective of the study is to find out the attitudes of employees towards performance
appraisal system of JBL. The other objectives are to identify the existing performance
appraisal system of JBL, to know the strengths and weak points of Performance appraisal
system of JBL, to recommend for improving the appraisal system if any.

To do the study a methodology has been made. The nature of the study suggests taking
qualitative approach. From 11849 employees, 20 samples have been surveyed by using
convenience sampling technique for this study. Data have been collected from both primary
sources and secondary sources. As a major primary source, a questionnaire survey with 16
questions have been conducted. Then the data have been analyzed by tabulation, mean,
standard deviation and co-efficient of variation.

There are some major findings that have been presented here. Performance is appraised in
JBL once in a year through formal performance appraisal tool. Branch Manager of the
respective branch appraises the performance of all the employees working in that branch
under the supervision of him. He conducts the appraisal on certain traits including job
knowledge, skills, abilities, personality, behaviors towards others, effectiveness, efficie nc y
of each employee and gives score that best describes him based on the level of existence of
the traits. Confidential report is generally used with a combination of the graphic rating
scale for appraising the performance of an employee.

Besides, the Branch Manager does not set appraisal objectives of performance appraisal
jointly with employees. Any feedback with necessary guidelines is not given to improve
the performance of the employees. In Janata Bank Ltd, the appraiser can give any rating he
wants and there is nothing to do by appraisee and thus he can play an autocratic leadership
role. There is a chance of being victims of rating errors, lack of in depth knowledge of the
appraiser about the appraisee, tendency to take undue advantage. That is why, they don’t
have positive attitude towards the performance appraisal system of JBL.

For improving existing appraisal system, concerned authority may give more attention on
such a performance appraisal system that will be fair, independent, honest motive oriented.
The bank may use modern performance appraisal tool such as 360-degree appraisal where
appraisal will be made from every stakeholder of the firm like peer, subordinate, customer,
boss and thus a bias free appraisal can be ensured. Annual performance appraisal may be
replaced by continuous appraisal system so that appraisee can identify his areas of
improvement and cope up with the changes. The objectives of performance appraisal like
identification of eligible candidates for promotion, providing a valid ground for pay
increment should be jointly set by boss and sub-ordinates. The appraiser needs to be careful
while giving score because it carries the description of the employees so that qualifie d
appraisee can secure the benefits and disqualified appraisee go through the disciplinar y
actions. If these recommendations are ensured, then the appraisal system would be a better
one and the attitude of employees towards performance appraisal system will be always
positive attitudes that will lead them to work hard and secure a good score to have a
promotion or any other benefits.

Introduction
Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Janata Bank Limited is one of the most leading state owned commercial banks operating in
Bangladesh with 909 local branches and in UAE and USA with four branches. It has
employed 11849 skilled and talented employees for the smooth operation. Annual
performance appraisal of the employees is conducted here using a formal system. The
employee performance appraisal process is crucial for boosting up employees’ productivity
and improves their outcomes. When the appraisal system is effective in identifying the
strengths, weak points of each of the employees in a fair and proper way and provide s
feedback for improvement of the weak points to be viable, it is expressed by positive
attitudes of the employees that motivate to show a high level of productivity and vice versa.
Positive attitudes of the employees towards the Performance appraisal system plays an
important role. So, it is intended to identify the attitudes of employees towards performance
appraisal system of JBL.

1.2 Research Problem

The study is on Attitudes of Employees towards the Performance Appraisal System in


JBL.

1.3 Rationale of the Study

This study will fill up the gap of finding out what types of attitudes the employees hold
towards the performance appraisal system of JBL. Nowadays in all the government firms,
traditional performance appraisal system is used in appraisal of performance. In most of
the cases, it does not include feedback mentioning the ways in which the employees could
improve in the future, what types of skills they need to gain to improve their performance.
So, the real purpose of performance appraisal is not served. It has been a show up that they
have an understandable procedure in place to measure employees’ performance. This study
will try to find out the attitudes of employees towards the performance appraisal system of
JBL so that JBL can take actions if necessary to modernize and operationalize employee
desired system.
1.4 Objectives of the Study

Primary Objectives: The broad objective of the study is to find out the attitudes of
employees towards the performance appraisal system of Janata Bank Limited.

Secondary Objectives:

i. To identify the existing performance appraisal system of JBL.


ii. To find out the attitudes of employees towards the performance appraisal system of
JBL
iii. To find out the strengths and weak points of performance appraisal system of JBL.
iv. To recommend for improving the appraisal system in JBL if any.

1.5 Scope of the Study

This study is conducted only in Rampura Branch of JBL. Both male and female employees
are surveyed who have been working there. It is intended to find out their attitudes towards
the performance appraisal system of JBL. To generalize the attitudes of 11849 employees
working in 909 local and 4 foreign banks, 20 samples have been taken from Rampura
Branch of JBL.

1.6 Limitations of the Study

Although intensive efforts have been given to make the report comprehens ib le
nevertheless, the following limitations encountered:

1. To do a comprehensive study, it requires much time where only three months was
really insufficient.
2. 20 samples were surveyed that were not enough to demonstrate the overall exact
scenario.
3. Employees of the sample were busy with their official jobs and hence they could
not give proper feedback in some cases.
4. Some employees got scared to fill the questionnaire lest they should get fired from
the position they hold due to leaking confidential information that is against
company policy.
5. There was a lack of in-depth knowledge and analytical ability for writing such
report.

Literature Review
Literature Review

Performance appraisal means evaluating an employee’s current or past performance


relative to the person’s performance standards. Appraisal involves setting work standards,
assessing the employee’s actual performance relative to these standards and providing
feedback to the employee with the aim of motivating that person to eliminate deficienc ies
or to continue to perform above par (Dessler,2003). The topic “Performance appraisal is
literally not new because it is as old as the inception of the firm. Not until 1980’s, did the
majority of theoretical studies emphasize on rebuilding the rating system within the
organization. The methods and rating system got enhanced and received much attention of
managers with the passage of time (Khan, 2018).

Employee attitudes are clearly important to organizations because when attitudes are
negative towards anything in the firm, they may result in strikes, work slowdowns, absence
and employee turnover. They may be also part of grievances, low performance, poor
product quality (Davis et al., 2002). So, the performance appraisal in an unbiased and fair
way has been an integral part for ensuring better performance of employees within the
organization. It shows the training and development needs of the employees if the actual
performance does not satisfy the standard performance. The employers also offer
promotion, salary increment, bonus and other pecuniary and non-pecuniary benefits. The
correct evaluation of performance of employees can be done by the performance evaluatio n
system which can be used effectively (Mishra, 2013).

But in many organizations, the ratees don’t know the overall rating but seeing the pay rise,
they make assumptions about the overall rating. Many of the attributes and traits specific
measuring standards are not sometimes spelt to the raters as well as ratees (Alam, 2012).
Besides, subordinates don’t get the opportunity to formally communicate with the raters to
know their appraisal results. The raters do not conduct the performance appraisal progr am
fairly that ultimately result in dissatisfaction, grievance, under performance, strike (Rahim
et al., 2012).
There is a research gap in the finding attitudes of Employees towards performance appraisal
system of a specific public bank. Rahim et al. (2012) made a study with the objective of
knowing performance appraisal system of MBL. Bagul (2014) made a study on the
Employee’s performance appraisal system in a private firm. But no such research focused
on the attitudes of employees towards the performance appraisal system of any firm or any
industry. There is a research gap in finding out the attitudes of employees towards the
performance appraisal system of a particular firm. So, the topic “Attitudes of Employees
towards the Performance Appraisal System of Janata Bank Limited” has been selected
to be explored. This study will fill up the research gap of finding out attitudes of employees
towards performance appraisal system of a public commercial bank.

5.2 Findings of the Study

After the questionnaire survey and analyses of the study, some remarkable findings have been
identified which are summarized below:

1. Performance is appraised in JBL once in a year through formal performance appraisal


tool which is in the form of writing.
2. Branch Manager of the respective branch appraises the performance of all the
employees working in that branch under the supervision of him.
3. The Branch Manager appraises job knowledge, skills, abilities, personality, behaviors
towards others, effectiveness, efficiency of each employee and gives score that best
describes him based on the level of existence of the traits.
4. Confidential report is generally used with a combination of the graphic rating scale for
appraising the performance of an employee.
5. Most of the respondents opine that the performance appraisal system is well informed
& understandable in JBL.
6. Most of the respondents showed positive attitudes to the statement that performance
appraisal system of their branch is based on specific appraisal objectives such as for
promotion, salary administration, annual requirement etc.
7. The Branch Manager does not set appraisal objectives jointly with employees.
8. Employees are moderately aware of the performance appraisal system in JBL.
9. The appraiser does not provide any feedback with necessary guidelines to improve the
performance of the employees.
10. The appraiser can give any rating he wants and there is nothing to do by appraisee and
thus he can play an autocratic leadership role.
11. The existing performance appraisal system hardly motivate employees as there is a
chance of being victims of rating errors i.e. strictness/leniency, lack of in depth
knowledge of the appraiser about the appraisee, tendency to take undue advantage.

13. In case of identification of poor performers, the appraiser asks for show cause letter to
explain his underperformance and fringes benefits, reallocation of the job is also made

5.3 Gap between the theory and Practice

Method Used by JBL

Janata Bank Limited uses confidential report system for appraising the performance of the
employees. Confidential Report is a descriptive report prepared generally at the end of every
year by the employees’ immediate superiors. The impressions of the superior about the
subordinates are merely recorded. It is mostly being used by the Government organizatio ns in
Bangladesh as a tool to appraise the performance of their employees and to take necessary
actions. In this method, subordinate is observed by his superior regarding his performance in
the job and on his duties done. After that, superior writes confidential report on the
performance of the subordinate, mainly on job knowledge, awareness & obedience to banks
policy, concentration and devotion in banking activities, behaviors towards the clients and
colleagues, cleanliness, dependability, commitment, quality and quantity of work, analytica l
ability, decision making, honesty, timely attendance, leadership, interpersonal skills,
marketing skills, presentation skill and remarks if any and keeps all the things in the form of
writing. It highlights the strong and weak points of the employees’ behavior. This technique is
normally used with a combination of the graphic rating scale because the rater can elaborately
present the scale by substantiating an explanation of his ratings. Confidential report is kept
confidential and is not revealed to anyone and finally it is forwarded to the top manageme nt
officials in a sealed envelope for taking decisions on whom confidential report has been made.
Confidential reports are the main criteria for facilitating promotion, increasing pay, transferring
or terminating of any employees.

Gap with Method used in JBL

The weak points of the Performance appraisal system of JBL are described here briefly. The
appraiser does not provide any feedback to the employees why their ratings have fallen, why
they are underrated, what mistakes are to rectify and how to improve performance. Employees
may face the either positive or negative consequences of the appraisal. In JBL, confidentia l
report is written only by Branch Manager though according to theory it should be written by
immediate supervisor. Rating errors are huge because the manager has lack of knowledge
about subordinates and strictness/leniency problem is severe. It is the immediate supervisor
who knows well the strong and weak points of the employees working under him, not the
branch manager. The appraisal is supposed to be fair and impartial but in reality, there is huge
outsiders influence like political pressure and pressure from top management personnel, unions
on the branch manager to provide positive report about a particular employee so that the
employee can easily get promotion. Most of the employees flatter the branch manager to
manage unethical advantage. Sometimes, in fear of poor rating, non-management employees
show interest in doing personal jobs of the branch head for example, go for buying the daily
necessaries or buying treasury bill from Bangladesh Bank, picking and dropping the children
from school to home. In some cases, branch manager is seen to exploit undue advantage from
female employees through sexual harassment. By offering bribe, some employees want to get
high rating to smoothen the path of promotion or salary increment.

Conclusion & Recommendations


Conclusion & Recommendations

6.1 Conclusion

This study has tried to find out the attitudes of employees towards performance appraisal
system of JBL. Most of the employees have negative attitudes about the performance appraisal
system of JBL. A questionnaire survey has been conducted to identify the attitudes of
employees towards the existing performance appraisal system of JBL. JBL appraises the
performance of the employees only by branch manager of the respective branch once in a year
using the oldest appraisal tool, confidential report in combination with graphic rating scale,
that has been already obsolete. There is a scope of biasness, unfairness, rating errors, tendency
to take undue advantage etc. Nowadays, many modern appraisal method has emerged like 360-
degree appraisal, MBO, Assessment Centre etc. If the employees are involved in performance
appraisal of themselves, peers, subordinates or bosses, they will feel empowered and valued
that will motivate them to work effectively and efficiently. From the study, it is understood
that the existing performance appraisal system is not out of criticis m of the employee as they
hold negative attitudes towards it in some extents.

6.2 Recommendations

A good performance appraisal system allows the appraisee to get feedback about his
performance and to identify areas of improvement. In fair appraisal, best performers get better
pay and benefit packages that motivate a great extent and underperformers get penalized. To
ensure a good performance appraisal system in JBL, it is needed to solve the findings first of
all. Here some recommendations are prescribed that may be followed by the Management of
JBL to avoid the lacking.

1. Modern Performance appraisal methods may be used.


2. Once in a year performance appraisals are lethargic and don’t work and so employees
need ongoing communication with team leaders and feedback on the present
performance.
3. Every employee in the bank should have the scope to appraise his boss, peers,
subordinates and do a self-evaluation in the place of appraising by the branch manager.
4. The objectives of performance appraisal like eligible candidates for promotion,
providing a valid ground for pay increment may be jointly set by boss and sub-
ordinates.
5. The appraiser may give feedback frequently so that appraisee can identify his areas of
improvement and cope up with the changes.
6. The appraisal should be honest, impartial, sound motive oriented, ethical, neutral and
independent in performance appraisal and it should be ensured that no outside factors
such as union pressure, time constraints can hamper appraisal.
7. The appraiser needs to have an in-depth knowledge of the employees working under
him and to have so he may maintain a diary of the employees’ performance.
8. The appraiser should be careful while giving score because it carries the description of
the employees so that qualified appraisee may secure the benefits and disqualif ied
appraisee go through the disciplinary actions.
