PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
INTRODUCTION: Managing employee performance is an integral part of the work that all managers and rating officials perform throughout the year. It is as important as managing financial resources and program outcomes because employee performance or the lack thereof, has a profound effect on both the financial and program components of any organization. The Department of the Interiors performance management policy is designed to document the expectations of individual and organizational performance, provide a meaningful process by which employees can be rewarded for noteworthy contributions to the organization, and provide a mechanism to improve individual/organizational performance as necessary. To accomplish these objectives, managers need to identify organizational goals to be accomplished, communicate individual and organizational goals to employees that support the overall strategic mission and Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals of the Department, monitor and evaluate employee performance, and use performance as a basis for appropriate personnel actions, including rewarding noteworthy performance and taking action to improve less than successful performance.

DEFINITIONS:
Performance appraisal is the method of assessing the contribution of employees at different levels of the organization during a particular period of time. According to Wayne F Cascio (1995) performance appraisal is defined as the systematic description of job related strengths and weaknesses of an individual or a group. Sourcewww.citehr.com Performance evaluation or Performance appraisal is the process of assessing the performance and the progress of an employee or a group of employees on a given job and his potential for future development. According to Flip, Performance appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an impartial rating of an employees excellence in matters pertaining to his present job and his potential for a better job. A formal definition of Performance Appraisal system is that, it is the
systematic evaluation of the individual with respect to his or her Performance on the job and his or her potential for development. The performance appraisal system is introduced to replace casual assessment of Performance with formal, systematic procedures. The underlying philosophy behind the Performance appraisal system is the assessment of performance on a continuous basis, which can be openly shared with the concerned subordinate.
Discussing Results: 1. 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. 2. The results, the problems and the possible solutions are discussed with the aim of problem solving and reaching the goal
3. The feedback should be given with a positive attitude as this can have an effect on the employees future performance. The purpose of the meeting should be to solve the problems faced and motivate the employees to perform better. Decision Making: The last step of the process is to take decisions which can be taken either to improve the performance of the employees, take the required corrective actions, or the related HR decisions like rewards, promotions, demotions, transfers etc. Sourceappraisals.naukrihub.com/process.html

3. Ranking method: Under this method the employees are ranked from best to worst on some characteristics. the rater first find the employees with the highest and lowest performance in that particular job category and rate the performer as the best and later as the poorest.
4. FORCED DISTRIBUTION METHOD: The rates may rate his employee at the higher or at the lower end of the scale under earlier methods. This method is developed to present the rates from rating too high or too low. The rates after assigning the points to the performance of each employee have to distribution. This method eliminates central tendency and leniency bases.
5. CRITICAL INCIDENT METHOD: Often discussing ratings with employee particularly on the basis of traits such as initiative, reliability, etc. have been found to demotivate them of negative feedback. The critical incidents method shifts the emphasis from traits to behavior, which can be more readily discussed. The supervisors keep a book where they record for each employee from time to time, actual incidents of negative or positive behavior.
6. Group appraisal: Under this method an appraiser is by a group of appraisers. This group consists of the immediate supervisor of the employee to other supervisors who has close contacts with the employees work, manager or head of the department and consultants. 7. PERFORMANCE TEST AND OBSERVATION: With a limited number of jobs, employee assessment may be Based upon a test of knowledge or skills. The test must be reliable and validated to be useful. Even then, performance tests are to measure potential more than Actual performance. 8. ANNUAL CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS: Confidential records are maintained mostly in government a department through its application in the industry is not ruled out. The system was highly secretive ants confidential feedback to the assesses was given only incase of an adverse entry. The annual confidential report (ACR) was highly subjective ratings were easily manipulated because the evaluation was linked to promotion. 9. ESSAY METHODS: This is the easiest method where the rater is required to write a paragraph on the subordinates strengths, weakness and so on. For example, in case of selection, this sort of appraisal is often sought from the previous employer. However, as different to compare essay rating. Thus, some from of formal method such as the Graphic Rating Scale has to be used.

MODERN METHODS: 1. BEHAVIORALLY ANCHORED RATING SCALES (BARS): This method combines elements of the traditional rating scales and critical incidents methods, using BARS, job behavior from critical effective and ineffective behaviors are described more objectively. The method employs individual who are familiar with a particular job to identify its major components they then rank as validate specific behavior for each of the components
2. MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVE: As against the work-standards approach where the standards were fixed by management, in the Management by objective approach the employee are required at times to set their own performance standards or arrive at a consensus regarding the standards with their supervisors. MBO has become very popular during the last ten years and in some organizations has even become a fad. However it is found that at lower organization levels employees very often are reluctant to set their own goals. When this problem is experienced, some from of coercion is used and MBO degenerates into the work-standards approach. In such a case, it is better to adopt the work-standards approach. In such a case, it is better to adopt the work-standards approach.
3. PSYCHOLOGICAL APPRAISALS: Large organization employee full time industrial psychologist. When psychologist is used for evaluations they assess an individuals future potential and not past performance. They appraisal normally consist of in-depth interviews, psychologist then writes an evaluation of the employees intellectual, emotional, motivational and other work related characteristics. Thus suggests individual potential and may predict future performance.
4. ASSESSMENT CENTERS: This method of appraising was first applied in German army in 1930; later business and industrial houses started using the method. It is system where assessment of several individuals is done various experts by using various techniques. These techniques include role playing case studies simulation exercise structure in sight transaction analysis.
5. Human resource accounting: HR accounting deals with the cost of contribution of human resource to the organization. Cost of employees includes cost of man power planning recruitment selection induction placement training development wages and benefits etc.
