Performance Management and

motivation
Dr. Huma Khan
• What is performance management system?
• Why employees need motivation to work?
• What is performance management in his era? Has this changed from
past?
• What are misconception about performance management system?
• Is there any difference between performance management and
performance appraisal system?
Definition of performance management
system
• Performance management is a “ continuous process of identifying,
measuring, and developing the performance of individuals and teams
and aligning performance with the strategic goals of the organization
” (Aguinis, 2009 , p. 3)
Definition of performance appraisal
performance appraisal emphasized
the (usually annual) evaluation of an employee
As compare to performance appraisal ,performance management
refers to an ongoing process that
includes setting (and aligning) goals, coaching and developing
employees, providing informal feedback, formally evaluating
performance, and linking performance to recognition and rewards.
The goal of this ongoing process is to enhance the employee ’ s
performance (as well as job satisfaction and commitment to the
organization) and the performance of the organization.
• Horizontal integration (Integration with other HR activities and Bundling
of HR practices and overall design)
“Implicit in the notion of the bundle is the idea that the practices within
the bundles are interrelated and internally consistent, and that more is
better with respect to the impact on performance
• Aligning Performance Management with Organizational Strategy,
Values, and Goals is key
• poorly implemented performance management systems can do more
harm than good
• poorly implemented systems, including employee burnout and job
dissatisfaction, damaged relationships, and increased turnover
• If a manager fills out a form once a year because this is a requirement
of the “ HR cops, ” then this is certainly not a continuous process
• that is, performance appraisal without clear considerations of the
extent to which an individual is contributing to unit and
organizational performance
