STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION TO PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
1.1. INTRODUCTION
Performance appraisal is the step where the management finds out how effective it has been at hiring the placing employees. If any problems are identified, steps are taken to remedy them.
In the business world, investment is made in machinery, equipment and services. Quite naturally time and money is spend ensuring that they provide what their supplies claim. In other words, the performance is constantly appraised against the results expected.
One of the most expenses resource in which companies invest is manpower. The job of appraising performance against results is not very often carried out with same objective, if indeed it is done at all.
Performance appraisal, like other personnel functions forms eventually a line responsibility, all though involving the staff assistance and advice. At the very outset it may be painted out that performance appraisal is a continuous function and not merely an issue of form and reports.
“Performance appraisal is a systematic periodic and so far humanly possibly and impartial rating of employee’s excellence in matters pertaining to his present job and to his potentialities for a better job.”
By – Edwin B. Fillippo
There is, says Dulewicz (1989), "... a basic human tendency to make judgments about those one is working with, as well as about oneself." Appraisal, it seems, is both inevitable and universal. In the absence of a carefully structured system of appraisal, people will tend to judge the work performance of others, including subordinates, naturally, informally and arbitrarily.
1.2. NEED OF THE STUDY:
Performance appraisal is needed to evaluate the behaviour of the employees in the work spot, normally including both quantitative and qualitative aspects of job performance. Performance appraisal is essential to understand and improve the employee’s performance through HRD. Performance appraisal indicates the level of desired performance, level of actual performance and the gap between these two. Performance appraisal is needed in order to provide information about the performance ranks bearing on which decisions regarding salary fixation, conformation, promotion, transfer and demotions are taken.
The appraisal in whatever form carried at various levels it is done with a view to identify the areas that can be improved, remove any determinants, identifying training needs, recognize individuals potential/strengths/weaknesses to see the suitability for promotions or to transfer to areas with more responsibility, to counsel if it required.
Performance appraisal helps employee development. It is a continuous process in every organization. It also helps in contributing to the employee growth and development through training and development programs.
1.3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
➢ To asses the degree of awareness of performance appraisal among employees in the organization.
➢ To analyze the methods of Performance Appraisal.
➢ To evaluate the Performance appraisal program conducted in Hetero Drugs Ltd.
➢ To know the satisfactory levels and the comfortable levels among the employees.
1.4. SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
The scope of performance appraisal should include the following: provide employees with a better understanding of their role and responsibilities; increase confidence through recognizing strengths while identifying training needs to improve weaknesses; improve working relationships and communication between supervisors and subordinates; increase commitment to organizational goals; develop employees into future supervisors; assist in personnel decisions such as promotions or allocating rewards; and allow time for self-reflection, self-appraisal and personal goal setting
1.5. RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY:
Sample Unit
The sample units are taken from the executives and non-executive of the Organization.
Sample Size
In the present study 50 employees were selected including executive and non-executives of production departments in Organization.
Sample Method
The sample for the study was chosen by means of Stratified random Technique.
Data Collection
Data collection is two types, they are
• Primary sources
• Secondary sources
• Primary Sources
Primary source of data is collected from the Organization. It was through questionnaires and surveys. By these the
data is collected from the employees of the Organization.
• Secondary Sources
* Secondary data has been compiled from the reports and official publications.
• Secondary data is also collected from the past records of the Organization.
1.6. LIMITATIONS:
• The study is confined to limited period of 45 days.
• The data collected by me through primary sources is constructed by the sample size which is only 50 employees.
• Due to the time constraints of some of the respondents this might have forced them to give casual response without evaluating the question seriously.
• Accuracy of the study is purely based on the information as given by the respondents
CHAPTER-2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
WHY HISTORY IN REVIEW OF LITERATURE??
2.1. HISTORY:
Although the interest in the use of performance appraisal has increased over the last thirty years, the practice of formally evaluating employees has excited for centuries. The performance appraisal system has undergone a lot of changes over the years as shown below:
1900 : Subjective appraisals
1940 : Increased Psychometric sophistication
1950 : Management by objectives (MBO)
1960 : BARS
1970-90 : Hybrid system and approach
2.2. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
Organizations are run and steered by people. It is through people that goals are set and objectives realized. The performance of an organization is thus dependent upon the sum total of the performance of its members. According to Peter Drucker, ‘an organization is like a tune; it is not constituted by individual sounds but by their synthesis’. The success of an organization will therefore depend on its ability to measure accurately the performance of its members and use it objectively to optimize them as a vital resource.
Performance Appraisal (PA) refers to all those procedures that are used to evaluate the personality, the performance, and the potential of its members. Evaluation is different from judgment – the former being concerned with performance, the later with person. Performance appraisal could be formal or informal. Informal performance appraisal is a continuous process of feeding back information to the subordinates about how well they are
doing their work in the organization. The formal performance appraisal occurs usually annually on formalized basis and involves appraisee and appraiser in finding answers to the following questions:
• What performance was set out to be achieved during the period?
• Has it been achieved?
• What has been the shortfall and constraints?
• What are we going to do now?
• How will we know that we have done it?
• What kind of feedback can be expected?
• What assistance can be expected to improve performance? And
• What rewards and opportunities are likely to follow from the performance appraisal?
2.3. OBJECTIVES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
Performance appraisal serves the following management objectives:
• To provide feedback to the employees so that they come to know where they stand and can improve the job performance.
• To provide a valid data base for personnel decisions concerning placement, pay, promotion, transfer, punishment etc.
• To diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of individuals so as to identify further training needs.
• To provide coaching, counseling, career plannings and motivation to sub-ordinates.
• To develop positive superior-subordinates relations and thereby reduce grievance.
• To facilitate research in human resource management.
• To test the effectiveness of recruitment, selection, placement and induction programs.
DEVELOPING A PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM
A formal performance appraisal system can provide a framework within which appraisers and appraise can operate. A performance appraisal system can be developed through a programmed comprising the following stages:
Determine overall approach to performance appraisal
The decisions on the overall approach to introduce performance appraisal should cover the following:
• What are the objectives of introducing performance appraisal?
• What benefits are anticipated from introducing performance appraisal?
• What are the main features of the approach to performance appraisal?
• Where and how should PA be introduced?
• Decide who is to be covered?
• Decide on whether the same approach should be adopted at each level?
• Define role of human resource department?
• Decide whether to use outside consultants?
The implementation programmed should cover the following:
1) Date of introducing performance appraisal in the whole or different parts of the organization (phased as necessary)
2) Procedure for evaluating the process
3) Briefing/ training programmed
2.4. PROCESS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
Performance appraisal comprises the following steps:
• Select performance factors (based on job description) to be evaluated and set the standards to be achieved
• Set the performance review period
• Measure actual performance
• Compare performance with set standards and rate it with a suitable scale
• Communicate the rating to the appraise
• Use the performance appraisal for the desired purpose
Performance Criteria
In order to be effective, the criteria for performance appraisal should be genuinely related to success / failure in the job and should be amenable to objective judgment. It should also be easy for the appraise to administer and appear just and relevant to the employees, and strike a fair balance between sensitivity to the needs of the present job and applicability to the organization.
The earlier concept of merit rating has yielded place to performance appraisal. In the merit rating system, merit was based upon personality traits such as leadership, ability to get along with others, decisiveness, creativity, industry, judgment, initiative and drive.
Management by objective (MBO) is an example of performance-based appraisal approach that involves setting objectives and comparing performance against those objectives. Objectives give greater freedom to both management and the employee in deciding how performance is to be measured. They also have greater motivational effect since the standards are discussed and agreed upon both by the management and the employees.
2.5. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL METHODS:
There are two types of performance appraisal methods. Some of them are:
1. Traditional Method
Essay Method
The essay method involves an evaluator's written report appraising an employee's performance, usually in terms of job behaviors and/or results. The subject of an essay appraisal is often justification of pay, promotion, or termination decisions, but essays can be used for developmental purposes as well.
Since essay appraisals are to a large extent unstructured and open-ended, lack of standardization is a major problem. The open-ended, unstructured nature of the essay appraisal makes it highly susceptible to evaluator bias, which may in some cases be discriminatory. By not having to report on all job-related behaviors or results, an evaluator may simply comment on those that reflect favorably or unfavorably on an employee. This does not usually represent a true picture of the employee or the job, and content validity of the method suffers.
Ranking
Ranking methods compare one employee to another, resulting in an ordering of employees in relation to one another. Rankings often result in overall assessments of employees, rather than in specific judgments about a number of job components. Straight ranking requires an evaluator to order a group of employees from best to worst overall or from most effective to least effective in terms of a certain criterion. Alternative ranking makes the same demand, but the ranking process must be done in a specified manner (for example, by first selecting the best employee in a group, then the worst, then the second-best, then the second-worst, etc.).
Comparative evaluation systems such as ranking are rarely popular. No matter how close a group of employees is in the level of their performance, and no matter how well they perform on the job, some will rank high and some will end up at the bottom. Evaluators are often reluctant to make such discriminations. Also, rankings are unable to compare employees across different groups. For example, it is difficult to say whether the second-ranked employee in unit A is as good as or better than the second-ranked employee in unit B. Despite the problems of ranking methods, if an organization has a very limited number of promotions or dollars to allocate, rankings can be very useful in
differentiation among the employees.
Forced Distribution
Forced distribution is a form of comparative evaluation in which an evaluator rates
Subordinates according to a specified distribution. Unlike ranking methods, forced distribution is frequently applied to several rather than only one component of job performance.
Use of the forced distribution method is demonstrated by a manager who is told that he or she must rate subordinates according to the following distribution: 10 percent low; 20 percent below average; 40 percent average; 20 percent above average; and 10 percent high. In a group of 20 employees, two would have to be placed in the low category, four in the below-average category, eight in the average, four above average, and two would be placed in the highest category. The proportions of forced distribution can vary. For example, a supervisor could be required to place employees into top, middle, and bottom thirds of a distribution.
Forced distribution is primarily used to eliminate rating errors such as leniency and central tendency, but the method itself can cause rating errors because it forces discriminations between employees even where job performance is quite similar. For example, even if all employees in a unit are doing a good job, the forced distribution approach dictates that a certain number be placed at the bottom of a graded continuum. For this reason, raters and rates do not readily accept this method, especially in small groups or when group members are all of high ability.
Behavioral Checklist
A behavioral checklist is a rating form containing statements describing both effective and ineffective job behaviors. These behaviors relate to a number of behavioral dimensions determined to be relevant to the job.
Items from a behavioral checklist for a salesperson's job
Instructions
1. Please check those statements descriptive of an employee's behavior.
2. Calls on customers immediately after hearing of any complaints
3. Discusses complaints with customer
4. Gathers facts relevant to customers' complaints
5. Transmits information about complaints back to customers and resolves problems to their satisfaction
6. Plans each day's activities ahead of time
7. Lays out broad sales plans for one month ahead
8. Gathers sales information from customers, other salesmen, trade journals, and other relevant sources
Graphic Rating
Graphic rating scales are one of the most common methods of performance appraisal. Graphic rating scales require an evaluator to indicate on a scale the degree to which an employee demonstrates a particular trait, behavior, or performance result. Rating forms are composed of a number of scales, each relating to a certain job or performance-related dimension, such as job knowledge, responsibility, or quality of work. Each scale is a continuum of scale points, or anchors, which range from high to low, from good to poor, from most to least effective, and so forth. Scales typically have from five to seven points, though they can have more or less.
Acceptable rating scales should have the following characteristics
1. Performance dimensions should be clearly defined.
2. Scales should be behaviorally based so that a rater is able to support all ratings with objective, observable evidence.
3. Abstract trait names such as "loyalty," "honesty," and "integrity" should be avoided unless they can be defined in terms of observable behaviors.
4. Points, or anchors, on each scaled dimension should be brief, unambiguous, and relevant to the dimension being rated. For example, in rating a person's flow of words, it is preferable to use anchors such as "fluent," "easy," "unimpeded," "hesitant," and "labored," rather than "excellent," "very good," "average," "below average," and "poor."
Carefully constructed graphic rating scales have a number of advantages
1. Standardization of content permitting comparison of employees.
2. Ease of development use and relatively low development and usage cost.
3. Reasonably high rater and rate acceptance.
A disadvantage of such rating scales is that they are susceptible to rating errors which result in inaccurate appraisals. Possible rating errors include halo effect, central tendency, severity, and leniency. The halo effect occurs when a rating on one dimension of an appraisal instrument substantially influences the ratings on other dimensions for the same employee. As a result of the halo effect, an employee is rated about the same across all performance dimensions. Central tendency is a lack of variation or difference among ratings of different subordinates, wherein most employees tend to be rated as average. Leniency refers to an evaluator's tendency to rate most employees very highly across performance dimensions, whereas severity refers to the tendency to rate most employees quite harshly.
Mixed Standard Scales
Mixed standard scales are a relatively recent innovation in rating scales. They contain statements representing good, average, and poor performance based on behavioral examples obtained from knowledgeable persons, usually supervisors. An evaluator's task is to indicate whether an employee either fits the statement, is better than the statement, or worse than the statement. In a mixed standard scale, each performance dimension has three statements relating to it: one illustrating good performance, one average, and one poor. Thus, this mixed standard scale has nine statements, three for each of the three dimensions used. Statements in mixed standard scales are randomly mixed, tending to reduce rater errors by making it less obvious which statements reflect effective or ineffective performance.
Example of a mixed standard scale
Instructions
If the employee fits to the statement, put a? =? in the space opposite the statement. If the employee is better than the statement, put a? v?. If the employee is worse than the statement, put? X?.
1. Is on good terms with everyone. Can get along with people even in disagreement.
2. Employee's work is spotty, sometimes being all right and sometimes not. Could be more accurate and careful.
3. Has a tendency to get into unnecessary conflicts with people.
4. Is quick and efficient, able to keep work on schedule. Really gets going on a new task.
5. The accuracy of employee's work is satisfactory. It is not often that you find clear evidence of carelessness.
6. Gets along with most people. Only very occasionally has conflicts with others on the job, and these are likely to be minor.
7. Is efficient enough, usually getting through assignments and work in reasonable time.
8. Work is striking in its accuracy. Never any evidence of carelessness in it.
9. There is some lack of efficiency on employee's part. Employee may take too much time to complete assignments, and sometimes does not really finish them.
2. Modern Method
BARS - Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales
Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) are rating scales whose scale points are defined by statements of effective and ineffective behaviors. They are said to be behaviorally anchored in that the scales represent a continuum of descriptive statements of behaviors ranging from least to most effective. An evaluator must indicate which behavior on each scale best describes an employee's performance.
BARS differ from other rating scales in that scale points are specifically defined behaviors. Also, BARS are constructed by the evaluators who will use them. There are four steps in the BARS construction process:
1. Listing of all the important dimensions of performance for a job or jobs
2. Collection of critical incidents of effective and ineffective behavior
3. Classification of effective and ineffective behaviors to appropriate performance dimensions
4. Assignment of numerical values to each behavior within each dimension (i.e., scaling of behavioral anchors)
Sample of BARS
INTERPERSONAL SKILL DESCRIPTION:
Develops and maintains a friendly rapport with others; demonstrates sensitivity to their feelings; respects the dignity of others and responds with empathy to their own sense .
Ratings 1 and 2: Demonstrates the ability to get along well with subordinates, managers, and peers; strives to achieve work group objectives. Can express own ideas, thoughts, and feelings and considers the needs, ideas, and feelings of others.
Ratings 3 and 4: Demonstrates the ability to apply factors of effective listening, on a one-to-one basis, such as displaying interest, not interrupting when another is speaking, and withholding judgments. Consistently provides honest (both positive and negative) feedback and provides constructive criticism when appropriate.
Ratings 5 and 6: Demonstrates the ability to consistently consider and respond to the needs and ideas of others which encourages and stimulates further communication. Effectively listens in group or one-to-one situations involving distractions, stress, complex information, or when the person speaking is emotional / distraught. Creates/maintains a positive working environment that encourages expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings.
Management by Objectives
Management by objectives (MBO) involves setting specific measurable goals with each employee and then periodically discussing his/her progress toward these goals. The term MBO almost always refers to a comprehensive organization-wide goal setting and appraisal program that consist of six main steps:
1. Set the organization’s goals. Establish organization-wide plan for next year and set goals.
2. Set departmental goals. Here department heads and their superiors jointly set goals for their departments
3. Discuss and allocate department goals. Department heads discuss the department's goals with all subordinates in the department (often at a department-wide meeting) and ask them to develop their own individual goals; in other words, how can each employee contribute to the department's attaining its goals?
4. Define expected results (set individual goals). Here, department heads and their subordinates set short-term performance targets.
5. Performance review and measure the results. Department heads compare actual performance for each employee with expected results.
6. Review meetings Provide feedback. Department heads hold periodic performance with subordinates to discuss and evaluate progress in achieving expected results
Assessment Centers
The concept of an Assessment Centre is of recent origin in India. The Assessment Centers are mainly used for evaluating the performance and potential of executives and supervisors. In this method, the executives and supervisors come together to participate in a well designed stimulated exercises. They are assessed by the senior managers, psychologists and HR specialists for 2 to 3 days. After recording the employee’s behavior, the raters communicate the information with them. At the end of the process, feedback in terms of strengths and weaknesses is also provided to the employees.
360 degree Performance Appraisal
This is a new concept in performance appraisal, where the feedback is collected from all around – the employee, the superior, the subordinates, the peer group, and the customers. This is defined as the systematic collection and feedback of performance data on an individual or group, derived from a number of the stakeholders in their performance It is done in a systematic way via questionnaire or interviews.
Figure 2.2- Feedback Form
The process of performance appraisal
Figure 2.3- 360 Degree Feedback Automated System
The evaluation is very comprehensive in terms of employee’s skills, abilities, styles, and job-related competencies. This system has following advantages:
i. Higher validity and reliability of the evaluation
ii. Self-evaluation by the employees gets compared with the perception of others.
iii. Helps in maximizing employee potential in the race of challenges
The 360o feedback can be used in the organization for the above purpose. Moreover, the impact of his feedback on the organizations will be very beneficial. The technique
Uses of 360o FEEDBACK
• Self Development and individual Counseling
• Part of organized Training and Development
• Team Building
• Performance Management
• Strategic or Organizational Development
• Validation of Training and other Initiatives
• Remuneration
2.6. ERRORS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
1. Rating Errors
Performance Appraisal may not be successful in appraising the performance and potential due to the following errors:
a. Halo Effect
It is the method of rating an employee high or low on the basis of overall impression. The rater may be impressed by any one trait of the employee and rate him high on all other traits as well. This error does not lead to the exact Performance Appraisal. This error can be minimized by rating all the employees on one trait before taking up another trait.
b. Stereotyping
Stereotyping involves forming a mental picture of a person on the basis of his/her age, appearance, caste or religion. This type of view destroys the actual performance appraisal
c. Central Tendency
This involves assigning average to all the employees in order to avoid commitment. This method is on appropriate because all the ratings are clustered at the midpoint.
d. Spill Over Effect
This method arises when past performance affects the present performance.
2. Lack Of Knowledge
The rater appraising the performance may fail to evaluate properly due to lack of experience and training.
3. Resistance by Trade Unions
Performance Appraisal is resisted by trade unions as it involves discrimination among its members. Negative ratings affect the interpersonal relations and industrial relations.
4. Negative Approach
If the management aims at punishing the employees rather than developing them, Performance Appraisal loses its value.
5. Personal Bias
The most important error of all arises from the fact that very few people are capable of objective judgments entirely independent of their values and prejudices.
6. Incompetence
Raters may fail to evaluate performance accurately due to lack of Knowledge of experience. Post appraisal interviews is often handled ineffectively.
2.7. BENEFITS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
Performance appraisal is a formal exercise carried out for all executives and workers / staff with respect to their contribution made towards the growth of the organization. The aim is to measure the overall performance of an employee over a period of time, usually one year,
by his immediate supervisor so as to provide a feedback to the employee and aid the management. Performance appraisal does not merely measure the performance of the people but has many other benefits. The benefits of a successful appraisal system can be summed up as follows.
a) For the appraisee
i. Better understanding of his role in the organization – what is expected and what need to done to meet those expectations
ii. Clear understanding of his strength and weaknesses so as to develop himself into a better performer in future
iii. Increased motivation, job satisfaction and self-esteem.
iv. Opportunity to discuss work problems and how they can be overcome
v. Opportunity to discuss aspirations and any guidance, support or training needed to fulfill these aspirations.
vi. Improved working relationship with the superiors
b) For the management
i. Identification of performers and non-performers and their development towards better performance
ii. Opportunity to prepare employees for assuming higher responsibilities
iii. Opportunity to improve communication between the employees and the management
iv. Identification of training and development needs
v. Generation of ideas for improvements
vi. Better identification of potential and formulation of career plans
c) For the organization
i. Improved performance through the organization
ii. Creation of a culture of continuous improvement and success
iii. Conveyance of massages that people are valued
20
The above benefits will be realized only if performance appraisal considered as a process of management. It should not become a ‘scheme’ devised by the personnel department for managers to use in accordance with the directives of that department, and generate completed forms which are stored away in employees’ dossiers and then forgotten. Performance appraisal is a process for establishing sound understanding about what is to be achieved, and an approach to manage and develop people in a way which will increase the probability of achieving the goal-be it short term or long term.
2.8. PITFALLS:
Performance appraisal helps management to collect data on human resources and use it for enhancing responsiveness of the organization. Since performance appraisal is done by people who have emotions, there will always be some subjectivity. Some of the common pitfalls encountered in performance appraisal are the following:
Shifting standards
Performance Appraisal should be based on uniform and fair standards, lest employee might get confused and the organization might not be able to decide as to who is suitable and therefore should be promoted.
Different rater’s patterns
Managers differ in rating style – some rate harshly whereas other are quite lenient. This can be reduced by precise definition on the appraisal form. Subjectivity can also be moderated through a ‘multi-layered appraisal system’, where the immediate superior initiates the report which is reviewed by next higher level.
Central tendency
Many appraisal forms require the appraiser to justify outstanding or poor assessments. So many raters may prefer an easier path of rating most people as ‘average’.
First impression
Some raters may form an overall impression based on some specific qualities or features of the rate in the first the first meeting itself and carry it forward. Making assessment on too short a time span and inadequate knowledge is incorrect.
Latest behavior
At times, the appraisal is influenced by the most recent behavior, ignoring the most commonly engendered behavior during the entire period. Thus, a usually sober person may be treated as arrogant because he expressed his opinion.
Halo effect
Some raters have a tendency to rate high/low on all performance measures based on one of their characteristics. This can be reduced by rating employee on each of the performance measures.
Horn effect
Highly critical bosses have a tendency to compare performance of their subordinates with ‘what they did’. This is not correct because the performance is also depends upon the situation.
Stereotyping (rater’s Bias)
Some raters have a standard mental picture about a person because of that person’s sex, colour, caste, religion, age, style of clothing, political view, etc. Stereotyping results in an oversimplified view. Such assessments are based on false assumptions / feelings, rather than facts. Discretion should not become discrimination.
Spill-over effect
This is allowing past performance to influence present evaluation. In some organizations, when an employee reports on transfer, his earlier reports are also transferred along. This biases the mind of new boss.
