THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

6
A. WHAT IS PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL?

Performance appraisal is defined as a process that systematically measures an employee’s

personality and performance, usually by managers or immediate supervisors, against
predefined attributes like skill set, knowledge about the role, technical know-how,
attitude, punctuality, and so on.

Performance appraisal has many names across organizations. Some call it performance
evaluation, and some prefer performance review, merit rating, annual performance
review, etc. This process is carried out to identify the inherent qualities of an employee
and the abilities and level of competency of an employee for their future growth and
development and that of the organization they are associated with. It aims at ascertaining
the value of an employee and his/her offering to the organizational performance.

Performance appraisals help managers and supervisors place the right employee to do the
right job, depending on the skill set they possess. Without an ounce of doubt, every
organization needs a robust performance appraisal process. There are various methods
that managers and supervisors use to evaluate employees based on objective and
subjective factors. However, it can get a bit tricky, but to effectively evaluate an
employee, both factors are essential.

B. OBJECTIVES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

 Employee promotion: This is an essential first step towards promoting an employee

based on subjective and objective factors- performance and competency.
 Employee needs: To identify the training and development needs of an employee.
 Employee Confirmation: To provide confirmation to those employees who were
recently hired and are on their probation period.
 Making decisions about promotions and compensation: To make a concrete
decision, what should be the percentage of a hike in the salary of an employee based
on the work done by them?
 Improving communication: To encourage a proper feedback system between the
manager and employees.
 Scope of improvement: To help employees understand where they stand in the
current year and what is the scope of improvement.

C. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROCESS

The performance appraisal process is a key part of how an organization manages the
performance and growth of its employees. It entails assessing an employee’s job
performance and providing feedback on their strengths and weaknesses in order to
improve employee performance evaluation and achieve organizational goals. Here, we
will learn the key steps of the performance appraisal process.

1. Establishing performance standards

The first step in the process of performance appraisal is the setting up of the standards
which will be used to as the base to compare the actual performance of the employees.

This step requires setting the criteria to judge the performance of the employees as
successful or unsuccessful and the degrees of their contribution to the organizational
goals and objectives. The standards set should be clear, easily understandable and in
measurable terms.

In case the performance of the employee cannot be measured, great care should be taken
to describe the standards.

8
2. Communicating the standards

Once set, it is the responsibility of the management to communicate the standards to all
the employees of the organization. The employees should be informed and the standards
should be clearly explained to the employees. This will help them to understand their
roles and to know what exactly is expected from them. The standards should also be
communicated to the appraisers or the evaluators and if required, the standards can also
be modified at this stage itself according to the relevant feedback from the employees or
the evaluators.

3. Measuring the actual performance

The most difficult part of the Performance appraisal process is measuring the actual
performance of the employees that is the work done by the employees during the
specified period of time. It is a continuous process which involves monitoring the
performance throughout the year. This stage requires the careful selection of the
appropriate techniques of measurement, taking care that personal bias does not affect the
outcome of the process and providing assistance rather than interfering in an employees
work.

4. Comparing actual performance with desired performance

The actual performance is compared with the desired or the standard performance. The
comparison tells the deviations in the performance of the employees from the standards
set. The result can show the actual performance being more than the desired performance
or, the actual performance being less than the desired performance depicting a negative
deviation in the organizational performance. It includes recalling, evaluating and analysis
of data related to the employees’ performance.

5. Discussing results [Feedback]

The result of the appraisal is communicated and discussed with the employees on one-to-
one basis. The focus of this discussion is on communication and listening. The results, the
problems and the possible solutions are discussed with the aim of problem solving and
reaching consensus. The feedback should be given with a positive attitude as this can
have an effect on the employees’ future performance. Performance appraisal feedback by
managers should be in such way helpful to correct mistakes done by the employees and
help them to motivate for better performance but not to demotivate. Performance
feedback task should be handled very carefully as it may leads to emotional outburst if it
is not handing properly. Sometimes employees should be prepared before giving them
feedback as it may be received positively or negatively depending upon the nature and
attitude of employees.
