Q1. How do you evaluate the worker’s appraisal in this case?

ANSWER:-

The workers evaluated Mr Prakash on these lines:

a) He is a gentle person and able administrator displaying his high leadership
qualities.
b) He can handle the things efficiently.
c) He recognises the people's work.
d) He is a good human as he did not fight with other internal employees.
e) He never wooed any employee nor put any negative feeling on anyone and
remained as a good person with the co. and its employees.
I would focus on the job evaluation . employees also need to be based on clear
expectations that employees know ahead of time. Employees need to be given
specific job requirements and have the opportunity to practice before being
evaluated . if employee is not doing good work then their must be training of
employee and should the problem and expectation of employee so that he will
be motivated and satisfied in an organization.

Q2. Do you suggest any techniques to avert politics creeping into the
process of performance appraisal by subordinates? Or do you suggest the
measure of dispensing with such appraisal systems?
Answer:-
Yes . performance appraisal is one of the functions of Human Resource
Management for measuring and evaluating the performance of the employees in
an organisation over a period of time as against the set standards. Different
methods are used for evaluating performance in different types of organisations
and 360 degrees performance appraisal is one of them.
the relation between the subordinate and superior must be clear . He can give
good ranking to those in his good books or he can rank employees on the basis
of their recent performance while they expect to be ranked on whole year’s
performance. This can lead to differences between superior and the
subordinates. The 360 degrees feedback helps in creating an environment of
trust. The employees feel more motive and work in teams towards achieving the
common objective if the feedback is positive.

An all-round feedback helps in improving the consistency in the working

patterns of an organisation. The employees are more concerned regarding how
others perceive them. This motivates them to perform consistently towards
achieving the organisational goal as this will help them achieve their personal
goal as well, which will further lead to individual growth. Thus the employees
will feel more content with their performance. 360-degree feedback allows
employees to gain a more thorough understanding of their impact on people
they interact with every day. This method helps in motivating the employees
who undervalue themselves.

The companies can use the data collected through feedback programs to
monitor consistent patterns and areas of weaknesses for employees within the
organisation. Thus as discussed in the above points, the top management can
more effective and appropriate training programs to overcome the weak areas.
This will lead to improvement in performance of various departments in the
organisation and as a result, the overall performance of the firm goes up.
