Performance Management & Appraisal

 


The Performance Appraisal is an evaluation of an employee's job performance against previously established benchmarks in areas such as output, leadership, teamwork, versatility, supervision, and so on.

Performance appraisals are often conducted once a year to assess an individual's level of achievement and are implemented on a top-down basis, with supervisors having a large role to play in appraising an employee's performance without the employee's active participation.


The below table shows a comparison between performance management and performance appraisal:

    Kane (1996) argues that “Performance is something that the person leaves behind and that exists apart from the purpose”.
    Walters (1995) said that "Performance management is about directing and supporting employees to work as effectively and efficiently as possible in line with the needs of the organisation".
