ROLE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL POLICY AND ITS EFFECTS ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Performance appraisal policy has been viewed by organizations and human resources practitioners as an effective tool for human resources management. However, effective performance appraisal policy remains a practical challenge to managers and employees because of cognitive, motivational and behavioural factors. At an organizational level, the performance appraisal policy impacts other human resources policies as well as organizational strategy. The effectiveness of an organization’s performance appraisal policy is a prerequisite for ensuring the success of its selection, training and employee performance. At a strategic level, the need for rapid and effective organizational changes in today’s dynamic social, economic and political environment requires that employees continually re-align their performance with the evolving goals and objectives of the organization. The need to continually re-align employee performance characterizes many organizational units which continue to struggle with getting their employees to embrace the philosophy and practices that are geared at enhance employee performance.
