CONCEPT OF PERFORMANCE
APPRAISAL

• Performance Appraisal is the periodic


assessment of an employee’s job performance
as measured by the competency expectations
set out by the organization (Watts, A.).

• Performance Appraisal includes both evaluation of -

Core Competencies required by the organization


& also the Competencies Specific to the
Employee’s Job.
• These two competencies makes a manager to
evaluate the Potential of an employee along with
his performance (Agarwal & Thakur, 2013).
CONTD..

• K. Ramchandran of Philips India says –


“People are like icebergs. What we see above
the surface (performance) is only a small part.
A large part of the attributes need to perform
excellently in a future job, which I call
potential, is not immediately visible. It is
hidden below surface.”
CONTD..

These attributes may be in the form of –


• Analytical power,
• Creative imagination,
• Sense of reality,
• Ability to see future,
• Ability to work in varied environment,
• Risk-taking,
• Problem-solving and
• Decision making skills and so on.

2. Essay Appraisal Method –
• This method is also known as “Free Form method”.
It is a non-quantitative and open- ended technique
and provides a good deal of information about the
employee and also reveals more about the evaluator .
3. Ranking Method –
• In this method manager compares an employee to
other similar employees, rather than to a standard
measurement.
• Employees are ranked from the best to the poorest on
the basis of overall performance.
CONTD..
4.Paired Comparison Method –
• It’s a better technique of comparison than the straight
ranking method, this method compares each employee
with all others in the group, one at a time.
• After all the comparisons on the basis of the overall
comparisons, the employees are given the final
rankings.
CONTD.. (Khanna & Sharma, 2014)
CONTD..
5. Critical Incidents Method –
• Flanagan (1954) defined the critical incident technique.
• Here manager prepares lists of statements of very
effective and ineffective behavior of employee.
• These behaviours are called critical incidents represent
the outstanding or poor behaviour of employees on the
job.
• He maintains logs on each employee, whereby he
periodically records critical incidents of the workers
behavior.
• At the end of the rating period, these recorded critical
incidents are used in the evaluation of the workers’
performance.
CONTD..
6. Confidential Report –
• Confidential report system is mostly being used by the
Government organizations for promotion & transfer of employees.
• Superior writes confidential report after observing the following in
an employee like: knowledge and quality of work, his Character
and conduct, absenteeism, punctuality, leave without permission,
integrity and honesty.
7. Checklist Method –
• A checklist represents, in its simplest form, a set of objectives or
descriptive statements about the employee and his behaviour.
• The checklist contains a list of statements on the basis of which the
rater describes the job performance of the employees like his
regularity, discipline, behaviour and errors.
CONTD..
8. Graphic Rating Scale –
• Under this approach, the employees are evaluated on the
basis of various job performance criterions like attitude,
knowledge of work, managerial skills, team work,
honesty, regularity, accountability, interpersonal
relationships, creativity and discipline etc.
• Each criterion is categorically divided into poor, fairly
poor, fairly good, good and excellent. Also, these
criterions carry certain score weight.
CONTD..
Factors Excellent Good Average Fair Poor

Discipline 5 4 3 2 1

Team Work 5 4 3 2 1

Honesty 5 4 3 2 1
CONTD..
9. Forced Distribution Method –
• Forced ranking is a method of performance appraisal
to rank employee but in order of forced distribution.
For example – the distribution requested with 10 or
20 percent in the top category, 70 or 80 percent in the
middle, and 10 percent in the bottom.
• The top-ranked employees are considered “high-
potential” employees in contrast, those ranked at the
bottom may be given a probationary period to
improve their performance.
CONTD..
CONTD..
10. Forced Choice Method –
• It is called forced choice because appraiser is forced to do
the rating readymade statements. Examples –
a. Organised worker – Unorganized worker.
b. Hold negative attitude –Remain positive every time.
c. Patient in crucial situation –Impatient in crucial
situation.
• Rater does not know the weights. After giving his
response on the statements rater forward it to the HR
department for further action. HR department apply the
weights, compute and calculate the score for making
decisions.
Modern Methods of Performance Appraisal

1. Assessment Centre –
• An assessment centre is a central location where the managers
may come together to participate in job-related exercises, who
are then evaluated by the trained observers.
• Centre determines the training and development needs of the
employees and measures the potential of the employees for the
different positions in the organisation.
• An assessment center typically involves the use of methods
like social/informal events, tests and exercises, assignments
being given to a group of employees to assess their
competencies to take higher responsibilities in the future.
Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales
(BARS)

• BARS has now become a commonly used methodology


by companies to compare the performance of its
employees against specific or predefined set of behaviour
traits which are linked to specific numeric value or rating
from a scale of 1-5.
• It is generally used in evaluation of new employees and
trainees.
CONTD..
Human Resource Accounting Method

• Humans Resource Accounting The concept of human


resource accounting was first developed by Sir William
Petty in 1691.
• The main theory underlying the HRA is: Human
resources are a valuable asset of any organization. This
asset can be valued in terms of money. When competent
and well-trained employees leave an organization, the
human asset is decreased and vice versa.
• So, in this method the Performance appraisal of the
employees is judged in terms of cost and contribution of
the employees.
Management by Objectives

• MBO is defined as “parameters of strategically planning


which means that harmonizing manager’ aims with the
employees in order to reach the objectives introduced by
organization”.
• It is a process that motivates employees to realize
organizing objectives. Also, it enables to enhance
performance, productivity, and manager results through
its employees.
360 Degree Performance Appraisal
Multi Rater Feedback
360 degree appraisal has four integral components:
• Self appraisal,
• Superior’s, appraisal,
• Subordinate’s appraisal and
• Peer appraisal. Superior

Peer & Self

Subordinate
720 Degree Performance Appraisal

• According to Sundaravadivel & Silambarasi


(2018) here 360 degree appraisal method is
practiced twice.
• When 360 degree appraisal is done, then the
performance of the employee is evaluated and
having a good feedback mechanism, the boss sits
down with the employee again a second time and
gives him feedback and tips on achieving the set
targets.
• It helps in better analysis and improved feedback
from different dimensions.
