A performance appraisal is a process organizations use to assess the performance and output of employees, individually, about a defined organizational objectives. Performance appraisal works by certain pre-charted criteria and rules. Potential improvements in the future, strengths, weakness and organizational employee’s behaviors and traits are the other aspects that are put into consideration. (Fletcher, 2001)The three key elements used include personnel evaluation, objective production, and judgmental evaluation.
Personnel Evaluation
This method is used to record the withdrawal traits and behaviors of the employee i.e. accidents and absenteeism. Poor job performance in organizations is indicated by the number of unexcused absences even if other factors are equal. However, employee’s absences rarely reflect how an individual is dedicated to the job. Accidents can also be indicators of poor job performance. However, it is a subject to criterion as some natural factors can lead to accidents. (Fletcher, 2001)
Objective Production
This method involves measures that are direct and limited. They include production numbers and sale figures. The measure used in evaluation depends on the work and its duties. There is ambiguity when the measure is used; they are often incomplete because of criterion deficiency and contamination. (Fletcher, 2001)
Judgmental Evaluation
It is considered a methodology as it like a collection of methods. Use of a rate is the most common method use. The rate is humans who are prone to errors and therefore data presented will always have errors. Common errors include central tendency, leniency, and hello effects errors. (Mayer and Davis, 1999). The errors come from social cognition and how we evaluate and judge other individuals depending on how we acquire process and categorize information.
I will not weigh the traits to determine a raw score. It is because raw scores are unaltered measurements; features may vary from one individual to another. (Mayer and Davis, 1999)
