Performance management-how to appraise employee performance AbstractPerformance appraisal is an important content of human resource management in modern enterprises. According to the problems existing at the present stage Chinese enterprise performance evaluation, put forward the improvement measures to improve the performance appraisal. Performance management is the responsibility between managers and employees and improve the communication performance of the ongoing. The partners should understand why they become partners, thereby supporting the work. Performance evaluation is a part of performance management, do not confuse the twoIntroductionChallenges of performance managementReasons to avoid performance management: Manager: reports and program has no meaning; no time; afraid of conflict; feedback and observation. (performance management, prevent problems in investment in time, ensure the managers have the time to do the thing you should do staff: bad experience; what was about to happen no bottom; do not understand the significance of performance management; don't like received criticism. Criterion two, performance management, organizational success: 1 Factors: coordination among units means, towards a common goal; problem, find the problems, find problems or prevent problems; obey the law, be protected by the law; make major decisions, a way of getting information; improve the quality of staff, to make the organization more competitive., performance management of organization,must be useful to managers, the only reason of performance management is to help employees to success. to understand better how to design and what made him act. , the performance management challenge is how to find practical,meaningful ways to finish it, which need thought and wisdom.Performance management is a systemThe performance plan -- starting point of performance management:employees and managers to work together, as employees do what, do what degree of problem identification, understanding.Continuous performance communication: both trackingprogress, find the obstacles that affect performance and process so that the two sides success required information. Communication methods: (1) around were observed;(2)employees; (3) allow employees to work review;Performance diagnosis: to identify individuals, departments and organizational performance by the real reason for the problem of communication and problem solving process.Performance management is a small system in the large system. If you want to get the maximum profit, must complete the performance management process,and not a part of.Performance management and strategic planning, budget, staff ,employee salary incentive system, improve the quality of plans are related. Do the performance management process to do the preparation of 1, there are two key points: with the staff to collect meaningful, to establish the information needed to measurable goals; to do some basic work, so that in the whole process of performance management and employee can fully cooperation. In part, access to information and data of performance management effect is it can help organizations, units and employees towards a direction some "target"information each employee's job description; (2) employee last performance review data and related documents.The performance plan three steps: preparation, meeting, finalize plans. your job, you should do what, how to measure your success, sets threat mosphere and seize the key; to review the relevant information, ask more,talk less; the job duties and specific goal; determine the success criteria; discuss what are the difficulties and need what help; discuss the importance level and authorized to ask problem; 4, note: in the performance management process, should pay attention to communication with staff thought is the action guide, to carry out effective performance communication, we must pay attention to in the thought. All aspects of the performance communication throughout the performance cycle, plays an important role in any one link in the chain, leaving the performance communication, any unilateral decisions managers will affect the enthusiasm of the staff, performance management. No performance communication there is no performance management. In order to make the performance management on the right track, truly play its role,enterprises mustput the supervisor and employee performance communication as a priority among priorities to research and development, through the system specification, performance management become competent habit, the habit of employees, to solve the performance problem employees work for dialogue and exchanges, the performance management into effect.Three methods of performance evaluation: Predicament 1, individual performance evaluation --: the best opera actor and amateur orchestra concert.The opera actors play the extreme, but the effect is very bad. No one is isolated,only focus on the individual, can not solve the problem. We call on an individual basis on employee performance evaluation, but if we emphasize individual performance but not the antecedents and consequences and conditions of performance, we do not progress, because we did not find the real reason -- may be because employees can not control things and punish employees, may also be because of the wrong reason 2, regardless of the what way to assess performance, avoid two traps are important: 1) don't do performance problems or"always the fault of employees" this hypothesis; 2) without any assessment can give the "why" and "what is happening in the picture". Evaluation is just the beginning, is a further discussion as well as the starting point of diagnosis. Three methods of performance evaluation: 3, 1) rating method:: features, to and behavior project; identify each project performance level gauge and other ways. Advantages: easy to finish the work of assessment. Disadvantages:forget why do this work; too vague, in the performance plan, prevention,protection and development staff and so did not what role in improving methods:with employees regularly write brief conversation; evaluation; interpretation and evaluation project meaning; together with the staff rating 2) ranking method:forcing staff to compete with each other, have stimulation can be short term, long term may cause internal malicious competition. 3) target and standard evaluation method: Standard: according to the prior and employees a series of established criteria to measure the performance of employees. Advantages: the personal goals and work together to reduce the possibility of target; both sides disagree;defect: need more time; text work more; more energy.Communication method and communication technologyWay of thinking: the process of performance management is the process of communication.Relationship with the staff is not only reflected in the behavior on performance management, but also should reflect the daily and how successful way of thinking: A, the process of performance management is a complete process together with the staff, not a for staff B, except for some unilateral disciplinary action, performance plan, communication and assessment should adopt a cooperative mode; C, most of the staff, once you understand what they are asked to do things, will try the method can meet the requirements D,performance management is not the purpose of staring past mistakes, clear posibility, but in the problem solving problems and possible e, performance deficit to be clear, the cause of the deficit, whether for personal reasons or the system reason; F, in most cases, if the manager will support staff as their work,so that each employee 2, must set some skills communication skills: Manager here guide employees to participate in the discussion process and understand the process of responsibility. Purpose: don't most probably it did not actually happen. Be prepared to establish a common responsibility and each stage all contribute to the relationship, the target. Clear the common responsibility: to improve the performance is not only the responsibility of the staff. Clear procedures: prevent conflict resolution skills: clear individual responsibility, invites employees to take advice. For the people of the criticism and comments: avoid if you don't listen, you don't know what you talking about,could you be quiet for a while, you read the report in the past did not remarks:avoid such as how many years, you always can't finish the job on time, we have ried that, there is no with the need need making guide guilty intent: to avoid if you really care about the team, you should work harder; I guess you don't care about this project not appropriate advice and sure: avoid as I know the project is late, but I'm sure you'll catch up; you will do well. You will understand the need,need to unsolicited advice and sure: avoid you must do it; this is the only way; to finish this today, and put it on my desk. A provocative question: Why did you say those who avoid. What you think; is the need to need; what is you get this conclusion? Don't trust to avoid language: are you sure you can finish on time?I've heard you need to exaggerate these need: avoid you never finish the work on time; you always try to reject my proposal. The cooling technique of fierce debate.The performance of a, discuss the process of dispute, we should pay attention to two goals: must make suggestions on conflict; avoid damage relations, cause new problems in the future performance. B, give employees a vent frustration and anger for feeling, not very fast counter attack. C, remember the people when they do appear conflict. D, the way of handling conflicts: conflicts through persuasion, won the right to try to understand the means; staff positions, find a solution. E, conflict is the most effective treatment technology is active listening.F, and be confused in mind or angry employees dealing, the basic principle is the first concern of his emotional.

IntroductionTwo of the most important corporate tasks for which a chief executive officer is primarily responsible are (1) to formulate strategy and (2) to manage the company’s performance. In this article we examine the second of these tasks and discuss how corporate performance should be modeled and managed.To perform is to accomplish, to achieve (desired) results or outcomes. So, when talking about corporate performance, we are referring to the degree by which desired results or outcomes are achieved by a company. Managing corporate performance involves planning, controlling,analyzing and evaluating, not only the results achieved by the company, but also the means by which these results are reached. Among the results, or goals, pursued by most companies we can mention growth, market share, profitability and value creation; and the means to achieve these results include productivity, effectiveness, innovation and competitiveness. Those are the type of things we should have in mind when specifying a corporate performance management system.Before discussing how to model corporate performance, it is convenient to consider the environment in which a company operates, which includes, besides outside stakeholders, the industry it belongs and the market it supplies. The main aspects of an industry to be looked at when considering its influence on corporate performance are structure and regulation, the main competitors, entry barriers, substitute products and supplier’s negotiating power. Associated questions are: How production is organized, vertically or horizontally? How much competitive is the industry and who are the main competitors, those that capture the largest part of the market share? Is it unregulated, self-regulated or regulated by a government agency? How strong are barriers to the entry of new competitors? Can products from other industries function as substitutes for the ones produced in the industry? What about the power industry suppliers have when negotiating prices and trade conditions? At the opposite side of the industry in the corporateenvironment we have the market where the company trades its products, its main attributes being size, growth rate, segmentation, exit barriers and consumers’ negotiating power. Typical questions that should be asked when assessing its effect on corporate performance are: What is t he market size, in dollars, for each o f the company’s products? What are the short-term and long-term market growth rates? Is it a wholesale or a retail market? Are the sales cyclical? How can the market be segmented (by geography, purchasing power, customer age, etc.)? Which barriers does a client run into when changing suppliers? Do clients have the power to impose prices and trade conditions?We call the people who have interest in or are affected by a company’s performance its “stakeholders”, and group them in the categories of “insiders” and “outsiders”. The insiders are thecompany’s entrepreneurs or controlling shareholders and its managers and employees. The outsiders include customers, suppliers, minority shareholders, debt holders, the government in its roles of public goods supplier, regulator and tax collector, and also the communities where the company does business. It is important to note that stakeholders, besides being affected by, also influence corporate performance and it is often necessary to search for the effects of this influence when appraising performance.That is meant to increase the depth of this brief analysis of corporate structureand external relations.Microeconomic theory considers thecompany as a social production unit that uses a certain technology to produce a set of outputs from a set of inputs. The function that maps input quantities into maximum output quantities obtainable from the inputs is called the “production function” or “production frontier”. Knowledge of this function is important for measuring the technical efficiency of a production unit, a very significant performance metric. Several techniques exist for the specification of production functions or frontiers, grouped under the names of “Data Envelopment Analysis” and “Stochastic Frontier Analysis”.Companies are created by entrepreneurs, the agents that organize and coordinate production with the help of professional managers. Entrepreneurs play a crucial role in shaping corporate performance. On o ne side, recognized entrepreneurial capacity ─ and also large contact networks ─ are vital for raising the financial capital necessary to build structural or physical capital. On another side, the entrepreneurs’ reputation and contacts are essential to attract the intellectual capital that, together with the structural capital, is the foundation of innovation capacity .A business model is a conceptual representation of the way a company does business. Its main components, are: the company’s value proposition; the targeted market segments; the distribution, marketing communications, and customer relationship channels; the corecompetencies needed; operating and management technologies; the partners’ network; and the revenue, cost and value creation models. Understanding the business model is the first step to implement a corporate performance management system. The model should indicate whether the company has a broad customer base or targets specific market segments, and in the second case, identify these segments. The goods and services provided by the company and the commercial conditions under which they are sold (including such things as guarantees, technical assistance, etc.), comprise the value proposition. The channel used for product distribution can be a direct-tocustomer sales channel through the Internet, or be comprised of bricks and mortar companyowned stores, wholesale agents, retail companies, etc. The company can use several marketing channels to get messages through to its customers, such as TV and printed media, and employ a call center to give support and receive complaints and suggestions from them. Core competencies are the ones the company needs to master in order to gain a competitive advantage in relation to other companies in the same marketplace. These competencies should rest on proper operational and management technologies, and be supplemented by a network of partners, if necessary. As a final point, a business model must include a revenue, a cost and a value creation model in order to be profitable to the company’s shareholders.We can think of the operational model of a company as encompassing an organizational model, a functional model and a corporate data model . The organizational model depicts, in an inverted hierarchical tree, the roles of the agents involved in the company’s operation. The functional model portrays all the activities that together form the whole to which we refer by the expression “company’s operations”, structured in logical, sequential steps forming operation al processes. At last, the corporate data model is an entity-relationship diagram that shows the main entities about which the company collects data with its attributes and the relationships between them.The last model we need to examine in order to understand the functioning of a corporation is the performance management model it uses, which is, in general, composed of four building blocks. The corporate governance system, the corporate performance planning, control and evaluation system, the individual managers performance planning, control and evaluation system and the management variable compensation system (or bonus system). The corporate governance system comprises three well known actors, the chief executive officer, the directors and the shareholders, and is designed to mediate the relations between them. Under the governance system, we find two planning and control systems, having as its targets the performance of the company (as a whole and of its divisions) and the performance of its individualmanagers, respectively. Linking these two systems we find a compensation system that assigns fractions of a bonus pool, which is a function of the aggregate company performance, to its managers on the basis of their individual performances. An effective management model should be forward-looking, that is, centered on the improvement of future performance, and focused on value creation.A thorough understanding of all the models described above is a necessary prerequisite for one to be able to plan, monitor, analyze, evaluate and control corporate performance. In the next section we will examine in more detail a crucial component of the management model previously described: the corporate performance planning, control and evaluation system.2. The Corporate Performance Planning, Control and Evaluation System.That shows the structure recommended by the authors for a corporate planning, control and evaluation system, the most important part of a corporate performance management system. The core component of the planning system, as can be deduced from its central position in the mentioned figure, is the performance evaluation model. The structure of this model is mapped into the system’s database, simulation models and budgeting tools’ structures, and also used to shape information contained in the system’s p roducts, besides being the nucleus of the language used by the system’s agents to talk aboutcorporate performance. The corporate planning and control process is formed by the coordinated actions of the planning and control agents, whose aim is the generation of the system’s outputs, which include assumptions, goals, forecasts, plans, budgets, investment projects, performance valuations, variance analysis, etc. These products take the form of paper and electronic documents and spreadsheets, and of PowerPoint presentations. The agents follow an agreed upon time schedule and rely on a business intelligence (BI) software to support their actions. The BI software implements the performance evaluation model for the purposes of representing and simulating corporate performance and provides the necessary tools for the system’s agents to produce the system’s outputs. Data used by the system comes from the accounting and other corporate databases. In the following sections of this article we will examine in detail each of the aforementioned planning system components.Before proceeding, however, we will make a pause to discuss the ontology of planning. One can readily identify in this figure three major structures: the strategic, the motivation and the action frameworks. In the strategic framework, which is chiefly related to the risk versus return dialectics, we can identify the external influences to corporate performance, comprising both opportunities and threats, and the internal ones, materialized by strengths and weaknesses. Suppliers and consumersnegotiating power, entry and exit barriers, competitors and substitute products are the main determinants of external influences. Technological change has also a pervasive influence on corporate performance. Comparing the motivation (ends) and action (means) frameworks, we can associate various levels or layers in which corporate aims are defined to the corresponding action classes, that is, vision to mission, long term goals to strategy, short term goals to tactics and actual results to actual actions. Policy and business rules are restrictions under which strategy and tactics, respectively, must be formulated, and actual action carried out.It may be convenient, at this point, to give a general definition of the terms “planning” and “control”. Corporate planning is a process by which management define the desired future performance of a corporation, and identify and decide on the actions that need to be taken in order to achieve that performance. The main steps comprising a planning cycle are exposed . Corporate control, on the other hand, is an operational process which aims to check whether the actual performance is in accordance with the planned one, and, eventually, to modify the planned actions in order to guarantee that the final desired performance will be met. The corporate budget is one of the most important outputs of the corporate planning and control process. It is the prime management tool used to improve corporate performance and to align management interests withthose of the shareholders. We can conclude this section by stating the nine guiding principles of corporate planning and control:i. Planning is concerned in first place with results and in second place with the means to achieve these results.ii. Planning is concerned with the present value of costs and benefits to be incurred in the future as a consequence of decisions undertaken in the present.iii. The main objective of planning is to create value for the corporation’s shareholders.iv. For the above goal to be met, it is necessary to fulfill customers’ expectations concerning quantity, price and quality of marketed products at the least possible cost, and to maintain a skilled and fully motivated workforce.v. Planning and control activities should be organized through a system whose components are the planning and control agents, process, time schedule, products, models & tools, and database.vi. The corporate budget should be the planning and control system’s product that consolidates the results which the company plans to achieve in the next period and the actions it should undertake in order to meet them.vii. The corporate budget must contain all the information necessary for the evaluation of the short term planned performance of the company,its marketing, operational, economic, patrimonial and financial aspects being dully considered. viii. The corporate budget should not be viewed exclusively as a means of cost reduction or control, but mainly as a tool to enhance performance and increase the company’s economic value.ix. The planning process in itself is as important as its outputs, and should contribute to leverage management’s knowledge about the company’s internal workings, and also to help fo cus its efforts on the critical areas of corporate performance.中文译文企业绩效管理作者:Pedro Oliveira摘要行政总裁的两个最重要职责是:制定战略和处理他的公司经营业绩。

)原文The Assessing performance of Enterprise: The Case of travel agencyindustrySellers;NicolauAbstractThe aim of this article is to compare different approaches to the evaluation of economic performance in tourism. For the first time in tourism, this article simultaneously applies traditional productivity measures as well as parametric and non-parametric techniques to estimate efficiency and compares the results obtained. The empirical application is carried out on a sample of 567 travel agencies operating in Spain in 2004. The results reveal important differences depending on the methodology employed. Overall, none of the methodologies can be said to be better than the rest. These results highlight the importance of considering different approaches when evaluating performance in tourism.Keywords: firm performance; profitability; productivity; efficiency; travel agenciesIntroductionThe assessment of performance is a critical component of the management process in any type of organisation. Business performance is recognised as a multi-dimensional construct, as it covers diverse purposes and types of organisations/levels (Lewin & Minton, 1986). The single output to input ratios, such as return on investment (ROI) andreturn on sales (ROS) may be used as indices to characterise financial performance. However, conventional referents of performance, whether they are measures of profitability, such as ROI, or productivity, are unsatisfactory discriminants of ‘excellence’(Chakravarthy,1986), as a company's performance is a complex phenomenon requiring more than a single criterion to characterise it (Zhu, 2000).Furthermore, growing competitiveness and the globalisation of markets in recent years have given rise to an economic environment where it is becoming increasingly difficult for companies to survive. In this context, efficiency and productivity have become important issues for managers, both in the manufacturing and service sectors, as the analyses of these can be useful to evaluate firm performance. However, although the service sector's size and importance has grown in the past 20 years, productivity have not grown as fast in the service sector as in the manufacturing sector (Van Biema & Greenwald, 1997).Particularly, this article analyses the tourism sector, given the importance that tourism has in the service industry. In the tourism sector, travel agencies are of course mindful of the need to manage the productivity and the efficiency of their business. However, the larger publicly quoted travel agencies tend to avoid aggregate economic approaches to the measurement of productivity in favor of firm level financial or operating measures that are meaningful to investors and stakeholders. While smaller and unquoted travel agencies have fewer stakeholders to convince, they similarly rely upon a relatively common set of operating and performance ratios (Reynolds, Howard, Dragun, Rosewell, & Ormerod,2005).This article reviews some of the methods proposed to estimate economic performance in tourism. The methodology applied is based on traditional profitability and productivity measures as well as parametricand non-parametric techniques to evaluate efficiency. The empirical application is carried out on a sample of 567 travel agencies operating in the Spanish tourist distribution sector in 2004.The remainder of the article is organised as follows. The second section reviews the previous literature in this field. The third describes the methodology and sample used. In the fourth section, the results obtained are shown. Finally, the conclusions of the study, the limitations of the paper and future research possibilities are presented in the fifth section.Literature reviewTo evaluate performance in tourism, several approaches have been proposed. Among these proposals, productivity and efficiency analyses have become very important in recent years. However, although the terms productivity and efficiency have been used interchangeably, this is unfortunate because they are not exactly the same thing. The most common interpretation in marketing and economics is expressed by Bucklin (1978) and Ingene (1982), who state that: ‘The ratio of total productivity is the quotient of all outputs to all inputs. The ratio of partial productivity is the quotient of all outputs to a single input’. In this sense, productivity indexes are calculated by inserting numbers into predetermined formulas or ratios and do not take into account the performance of other retail outlets. As an alternative, relative efficiency is a new approach to the measurement of retail productivity, which focuses on an outlet relative to the best performers rather than the average performers as with the traditional absolute measures.Studies of tourism efficiency analysis can be classified on the method employed. Most of them, use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) non-parametric method (Anderson, Fok, & Scott, 2000; Anderson, Lewis, & Parker, 1999a; Barros, 2005a, 2005b; Bell & Morey, 1995; Chiang, Tsai,& Wang,2004; Hwang & Chang, 2003; Morey & Dittman, 1995; Reynolds, 2003).A few of them are based on parametric techniques (Anderson et al., 1999a; Anderson, Fish, Xia, & Michello, 1999b; Barros, 2004; Barros & Matías, 2006; Coelli, Perelman, & Romano, 1999; Weng & Wang, 2006). Regarding the function utilised, studies rely on both Translog function (e.g. Anderson et al., 1999b; Weng & Wang, 2006) and Cobb–Douglas function (e.g. Barros, 2004; Barros & Matias, 2006).It is important to note that, in spite of the important role travel agencies play in marketing tourism products, most of efficiency analyses in tourism focus on the hotel industry (in particular, from the USA, Portugal and Taiwan). These studies use microeconomic data and consider lodging establishments of one hotel chain by employing multiple inputs and outputs. Also, they mostly apply a cross-section sample from 1 year, while studies that use samples from several years estimate productivity through Malmquist productivity index based on the non-parametric DEA technique (Barros, 2005a; Barros & Alves, 2004; Hwang & Chang, 2003), or through a parametric frontier that takes into account the possible technical change by introducing a time variable (Barros, 2004; Coelli et al., 1999). Finally, there exists a great variety of variables used in tourism efficiency analysis due to the availability of information on travelagents' inputs and outputs. MethodologyThe methodology employed to reach the goal of this article is divided into three stages.In the first stage, profitability and productivity indexes are estimated. To estimate profitability, traditional indexes such as returns on capital employed (ROCE), returns on assets (ROA) and returns on investment (ROI) are employed. Furthermore, two specific ratios employed to estimate the productivity in travelagencies are computed (i.e. salesper employee and sales per outlet).In the second stage of the methodology, both parametric and non-parametric models are employed to estimate efficiency. The basic difference between them is that the parametric models specify a functional relationship between the inputs employed and the outputs obtained, whereas in the non-parametric models no functional relationship is considered. Gong and Sickles (1992) show that neither technique uniformly dominates the other. First, a stochastic frontier production function is estimated. In this parametric model, a production function is specified, which defines output as a function of a given set of inputs. The stochastic element of this model allows some observations to lie above the production function, and accounts for measurement error and other random factors (Coelli, Prasada, & Battese,1998).ResultsIn this section, profitability and productivity indexes as well as efficiency estimates are computed.As can be seen, for the sample analysed, the mean profitability ratios are: ROA = 4.08%, ROCE = 18.722% and ROI = 11.567%. Regarding the productivity indexes, the results show that the average amount sold per employee in thousands of euros is 248.361; whereas the average amount sold per outlet is 486,827€.It also shows the mean efficiency estimates of the firms analysed using both parametric and non-parametric techniques. The estimated mean efficiency with the stochastic parametric frontier is 0.703, which indicates that there is considerable inefficiency in the Spanish tourist distribution sector. This result implies that, on average, the firms considered could have obtained 29.7% more output using the same resources. With the aim of examining the nature of the existing returns to scale. Additionally, the constant returns to scale (CRS) and VRS output-orientedDEA frontiers are estimated for the same number of retailers and the same output and input variables as for the stochastic production frontier. The mean technical efficiencies obtained for the VRS and CRS DEA frontiers are 0.548 and 0.633, respectively. Thus, the DEA analysis also reveals substantial productive inefficiency in the Spanish retail system. The mean SE for the sample analysed is 0.866. This result suggests that most of the deviation from the efficiency frontier is due to poor use of inputs and, to a lesser extent, to companies not operating at optimum size. Under the VRS model, 44 of the 567 firms analysed are fully efficient, while in terms of the CRS model 31 firms are fully efficient.Conclusions and implications for managementSeveral approaches can be found in the literature for measuring economic performance in the tourism industry. In this article, some of the most relevant approaches proposed are compared and employed to analyze the performance of the Spanish travel agency sector.While some of them allow the inclusion of multi-output performance measures, others are restricted to single outputs. Overall, none of the methodologies can be said to be better than the rest. The most appropriate methodology depends on the characteristics of the production process and the aim and scope of the analysis.In general, the application of these techniques has important implications in tourism. First of all, performance analysis is useful to the management of the retailers themselves (Sinigaglia et al., 1995). At a horizontal level, the measurement of productivity is important in the strategic management of companies in the sector, as it facilitates the realization of strategic benchmarking analysis. Basically, the process of benchmarking requires the measurement of the difference between the current performance level of an organization and the best practically possible level, in order to subsequently identify the underlying causesof each difference, the most important of which are management style, organizational structure and product quality, among others (Camp, 1989).Furthermore, the analysis of the efficiency of travel agencies also favors the management of service producers (Sinigaglia et al., 1995), as it allows them to identify intermediaries that efficiently use their resources to bring their products to the market. In this sense, efficiency becomes an orientation criterion for the choice of vertical relationships in the distribution channel (Holloway & Robinson, 1995). Traditionally, the criteria for the choice of distributors have been economic, in terms of the costs and incomes of each option; and strategic, considering market coverage, flexibility of adaptation to environmental changes or control over the actions of the intermediary. Along with these aspects, we should consider the efficiency with which intermediaries operate (Bultez & Parsons, 1998), given that it determines, to some extent, the capacity of the intermediary to comply with its primary function of serving the market.This article is not without limitations. Given the fact that we only analyze one of the players in the distribution channel, the generalization of the conclusions of the study to the whole sector should be made with caution. Therefore, the scope of the results obtained in this study should only be considered at the level of the retail format analyzed.Finally, future research lines should be directed towards considering other aspects such as the quality of the services provided, customer satisfaction or the interaction with the external environment, which are of great importance when evaluating firm performance.译文企业绩效评估:以旅行社为例塞勒斯;里卡多; 尼古拉摘要本文的研究目的是为了比较旅游社绩效的不同评估方法。

The Dilemma of Performance AppraisalPeter Prowse and Julie ProwseMeasuring Business Excellence,V ol.13 Iss:4,pp.69 - 77AbstractThis paper deals with the dilemma of managing performance using performance appraisal. The authors will evaluate the historical development of appraisals and argue that the critical area of line management development that was been identified as a critical success factor in appraisals has been ignored in the later literature evaluating the effectiveness of performance through appraisals.This paper willevaluatethe aims and methodsof appraisal, thedifficulties encountered in the appraisalprocess. It also re-evaluates the lack of theoretical development in appraisaland move from he psychological approachesof analysistoamorecritical realisation ofapproaches before re-evaluating the challenge to remove subjectivity and bias in judgement of appraisal.13.1IntroductionThis paper will define and outline performance management and appraisal. It will start by evaluating what form of performance is evaluated, then develop links to the development of different performance traditions (Psychological tradition, Management by Objectives, Motivation and Development).It will outline the historical development of performance management then evaluate high performance strategies using performance appraisal. It will evaluate the continuing issue of subjectivity and ethical dilemmas regarding measurement and assessment of performance. The paper will then examine how organisations measure performance before evaluation of research on some recent trends in performance appraisal.This chapter will evaluate the historical development of performance appraisal from management by objectives (MBO) literature before evaluating the debates between linkages between performance management and appraisal. It will outline the development of individual performance before linking to performance management in organizations. The outcomes of techniques to increase organizational commitment, increase job satisfaction will be critically evaluated. It will further examine the transatlantic debates between literature on efficiency and effectiveness in the North American and the United Kingdom) evidence to evaluate the HRM development and contribution of performance appraisal to individual and organizational performance.13.2 What is Performance Management?The first is sue to discuss is the difficulty of definition of Performance Management. Armstrong and Barron(1998:8) define performance management as: A strategic and integrated approach to delivering sustained success to organisations by Improving performance of people who work in them by developing the capabilities of teams And individual performance.13.2.1 Performance AppraisalAppraisal potentially is a key tool in making the most of an organisation’s human resources. The use of appraisal is widespread estimated that 80–90%of organizations in the USA and UK were using appraisal and an increase from 69 to 87% of organisations between 1998 and 2004 reported a formalperformance management system (Armstrong and Baron, 1998:200).There has been little evidence of the evaluation of the effectiveness of appraisal but more on the development in its use. Between 1998 and 2004 a sample from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD, 2007) of 562 firms found 506 were using performance appraisal in UK.What is also vital to emphasise is the rising use of performance appraisal feedback beyond performance for professionals and managers to nearly 95% of workplaces in the 2004 WERS survey (seeTable 13.1).Clearly the use of Appraisals has been the development and extension of appraisals to cover a large proportion of the UK workforce and the coverage of non managerial occupations and the extended use in private and public sectors.13.2.2 The Purpose of AppraisalsThe critical issue is what is the purpose of appraisals and how effective is it ?Researched and used in practice throughout organizations? The purpose of appraisals needs to be clearly identified. Firstly their purpose. Randell (1994) states they are a systematic evaluation of individual performance linked to workplace behaviour and/or specific criteria. Appraisals often take the form of an appraisal interview,usually annual,supported by standardised forms/paperwork.The key objective of appraisal is to provide feedback for performance is provided by the linemanager.The three key questions for quality of feedback:1. What and how are observations on performance made?2. Why and how are they discussed?3. What determines the level of performance in the job?It has been argued by one school of thought that these process cannot be performed effectively unless the line manager of person providing feedback has the interpersonal interviewing skills to providethat feedback to people being appraised. This has been defined as the “Bradford Approach” which places a high priority on appraisal skills development (Randell, 1994). This approach is outlined in Fig. 13.1 whichidentifies the linkages betweeninvolving,developing, rewarding and valuing people at work..13.2.3 Historical Development of AppraisalThe historical development of performance feedback has developed from a range of approaches.Formal observation of individual work performance was reported in Robert Owens’s Scottish factory inNew Lanarkin the early 1800s (Cole, 1925). Owen hung over machines a piece of coloured wood over machines to indicate the Super intendent’s assessment of the previous day’s conduct (white forexcellent, yellow, blue and then black for poor performance).The twentieth centuryled to F.W. Taylor and his measured performance and the scientific management movement (Taylor, 1964). The 1930sTraits Approaches identified personality and performance and used feedback using graphic rating scales, a mixed standard of performance scales noting behaviour in likert scale ratings.This was used to recruit and identify management potential in the field of selection. Later developments to prevent a middle scale from 5 scales then developed into a forced-choice scale which forced the judgement to avoid central ratings.The evaluation also included narrative statements and comments to support the ratings (Mair, 1958).In the 1940s Behavioural Methods were developed. These included Behavioural Anchored Rating Scales (BARS); Behavioural Observation Scales (BOS); Behavioural Evaluation Scales (BES); critical incident;job simulation. All these judgements were used to determine the specific levels of performance criteria to specific issues such as customer service and rated in factors such asexcellent,average orneeds to improve or poor.These ratings are assigned numerical values and added to a statement or narrative comment by the assessor. It would also lead to identify any potential need for training and more importantly to identify talent for careers in linemanagement supervision and future managerial potential.Post1945 developed into the Results-oriented approaches and led to the development of management by objectives (MBO). This provided aims and specific targets to be achievedand with in time frames such as pecific sales, profitability,and deadlines with feedback on previous performance (Wherry, 1957).The deadlines may have required alteration and led to specific performance rankings of staff. It also provided a forced distributionof rankingsof comparative performance and paired comparison ranking of performance and setting and achieving objectives.In the 1960s the developmentof Self-appraisal by discussion led to specific time and opportunity for the appraisee to reflectively evaluate their performance in the discussion and the interview developed into a conversation on a range of topics that the appraise needed to discuss in the interview. Until this period the success of the appraisal was dependent on skill of interviewer.In the 1990s the development of 360-degree appraisal developed where information was sought from a wider range of sources and the feedback was no longer dependent on the manager-subordinate power relationship but included groups appraising the performance of line managers and peer feedback from peer groups on individual performance (Redman and Snape, 1992). The final development of appraisal interviews developed in the 1990s with the emphasis on the linking performance with financial reward which will be discussed later in the paper.13.2.4 Measures of PerformanceThe dilemma of appraisal has always to develop performance measures and the use of appraisal is the key part of this process. Quantitative measure of performance communicated as standards in the business and industry level standards translated to individual performance. The introduction of techniques such as the balanced score card developed by Kaplan and Norton (1992).Performance measures and evaluation included financial, customer evaluation, feedback on internal processes and Learning and Growth. Performance standards also included qualitative measures Which argue that there is an over emphasis on metrics of quantitative approach above the definitions of quality services and total quality management.In terms of performance measures there has been a transformation in literature and a move in the 1990s to the financial rewards linked to the level of performance.The debates will be discussed later in the paper.13.3 Criticism of AppraisalsCritiques of appraisal have continued as appraisal shave increased in use and scope across sectors and occupations. The dominant critique is the management framework using appraisal as an orthodox technique that seeks to remedy the weakness and propose of appraisals as a system to develop performance.This “orthodox” approach argues there are conflicting pur poses of appraisal (Strebler et al, 2001). Appraisal can motivate staff by clarifying objectives and setting clear future objectives with provision for training and development needs to establish the performance objective. These conflicts withassessing past performance and distribution of rewards based on past performance (Bach, 2005:301).Employees are reluctant to confide any limitations and concerns on their current performance as this could impact on their merit related reward or promotion opportunities(Newton and Findley, 1996:43).This conflicts with performance as a continuum as appraisers are challenged with differing roles as both monitors and judges of performance but an understanding counsell or which Randell(1994)argues few manager shave not received the raining to perform.Appraisal Manager’s reluctance to criticise also stems from classic evidence fromMcGregor that managers are reluctant to make an egative judgement on an individual’s performance a sit could be demotivating,leadto accusationsoftheirown supportand contributiontoindividual poor performance and to also avoid interpersonal conflict (McGregor, 1957).One consequence of this avoidance of conflict is to rate all criterion as central and avoid any conflict known as the central tendency.In a study of senior managers by Long neckeretal.(1987),they found organisational politics influenced ratings of 60 senior executives.The findings were that politics involved deliberate attempts by individuals to enhance or protect self-interests when conflicting courses of action are possible and that ratings and decisions were affected by potential sources of bias or inaccuracy in their appraisal ratings (Longeneckeret al., 1987).There are methods of further bias beyond Longenecker’s evidence. The polit ical judgements and they have been distorted further by overrating some clear competencies in performance rather than being critical across all rated competencies known as the halo effect and if some competencies arelower they may prejudice the judgment acrossthe positive reviews known as the horns effect (ACAS, 1996).Some ratings may only cinclude recent events and these are known as the recency effects. In this case only recent events are noted compared to managers gathering and using data throughout the appraisal period .A particular concern is the equity of appraisal for ratings which may be distorted by gender ,ethnicity and the ratings of appraisers themselves .A range of studies in both the US and UK have highlighted subjectivity in terms of gender (Alimo-Metcalf, 1991;White, 1999) and ethnicity of the appraise and appraiser(Geddes and Konrad, 2003). Suggestions and solutions on resolving bias will be reviewed later.The second analysis is the radical critique of appraisal. This is the more critical management literature that argues that appraisal and performance management are about management control(Newton and Findley, 1996;Townley, 1993). It argues that tighter management control over employee behaviour can be achieved by the extension of appraisal to manual workers, professional as means to control. This develops the literature of Foucault using power and surveillance. This literature uses cases in examples of public service control on professionals such a teachers (Healy, 1997) and University professionals(Townley, 1990).This evidence argues the increased control of public services using appraisal as a method of control and that the outcome of managerial objectives ignores the developmental role of appraisal and ratings are awarded for people who accept and embrace the culture and organizational values . However, this literature ignores the employee resistance and the use of professional unions to challenge the attempts to exert control over professionals and staff in the appraisal process (Bach, 2005:306).One of the different issues of removing bias was the use of the test metaphor (Folgeretal.,1992).This was based on the assumption that appraisal ratings were a technical question of assessing “true” performance and there needed to be increased reliability and validity of appraisal as an instrument to develop motivation and performance. The sources of rater bias and errors can be resolvedby improved organisational justice and increasing reliability of appraiser’s judgement.However there were problems such as an assumption that you can state job requirements clearly and the organization is “rational” with objectives that reflect values and that the judgment by appraisers’ are value free from political agendas and personal objectives. Secondly there is the second issue of subjectivity if appraisal ratings where decisions on appraisal are rated by a “political metaphor”(Hart le, 1995).This “political view” argues that a appraisal is often done badly because there is a lack of training for appraisers and appraisers may see the appraisal as a waste of time. This becomes a process which managers have to perform and not as a potential to improve employee performance .Organisations in this context are “political” and the appraisers seek to maintain performance from subordinates and view appraises as internal customers to satisfy. This means managers use appraisal to avoid interpersonal conflict and develop strategies for their own personal advancement and seek a quiet life by avoiding censure from higher managers.This perception means managers also see appraisee seeks good rating and genuine feedback and career development by seeking evidence of combining employee promotion and pay rise.This means appraisal ratings become political judgements and seek to avoid interpersonal conflicts. The approaches of the “test” and “political” metaphors of appraisal are inaccurate and lack objec tivity and judgement of employee performance is inaccurate and accuracy is avoided.The issue is how can organisations resolve this lack of objectivity?13.3.1 Solutions to Lack of Objectivity of AppraisalGrint(1993)argues that the solutions to objectivity lies in part with McGregor’s (1957) classic critique by retraining and removal of “top down” ratings by managers and replacement with multiple rater evaluation which removes bias and the objectivity by upward performance appraisal. The validity of upward appraisal means there moval of subjective appraisal ratings.This approach is also suggested to remove gender bias in appraisal ratings against women in appraisals (Fletcher, 1999). The solution of multiple reporting(internal colleagues, customers and recipients of services) will reduce subjectivity and inequity of appraisal ratings. This argument develops further by the rise in the need to evaluate project teams and increasing levels of teamwork to include peer assessment. The solutions also in theory mean increased closer contact with individual manager and appraises and increasing services linked to customer facing evaluations.However, negative feedback still demotivates and plenty of feedback and explanation by manager who collates feedback rather than judges performance andfail to summarise evaluations.There are however still problems with accuracy of appraisal objectivity asWalker and Smither (1999)5year studyof 252 managers over 5 year period still identified issues with subjective ratings in 360 degree appraisals.There are still issues on the subjectivity of appraisals beyond the areas of lack of training.The contribution of appraisal is strongly related to employee attitudes and strong relationships with job satisfaction(Fletcher and Williams, 1996). The evidence on appraisal still remains positive in terms of reinvigo rating social relationships at work (Townley,1993)and the widespread adoption in large public services in the UK such as the national health Service (NHS)is the valuable contribution to line managers discussion with staff on their past performance, discussing personal development plans and training and development as positive issues.One further concern is the openness of appraisal related to employee reward which we now discuss.13.3.2 Linking Appraisals with Reward ManagementAppraisal and performance management have been inextricably linked to employee reward since the development of strategic human resource management in the 1980s. The early literature on appraisal linked appraisal with employee control (Randell, 1994;Grint, 1993;Townley, 1993, 1999) and discussed the use of performance related reward to appraisals. However therecent literature has substituted the chapter titles employee “appraisal” with “performance management”(Bach, 2005; Storey, 2007) and moved the focus on performance and performance pay and the limits of employee appraisal. The appraisal and performance pay link has developed into debates to three key issues:The first issue is has performance pay related to appraisal grown in use?The second issue is what type of performance do we reward?and the final issue is who judges management standards?The first discussion on influences of growth of performance pay schemes is the assumption that increasing linkage between individual effort and financial reward increases performance levels. This linkage between effort and financial reward increasing levels of performance has proved an increasing trend in the public and private sector (Bevan and Thompson, 1992;Armstrong and Baron, 1998). The drive to increase public sector performance effort and setting of targets may even be inconsistent in the experiences of some organizational settings aimed at achieving long-term targets(Kessler and Purcell, 1992;Marsden, 2007). The development of merit based pay based on performance assessed by a manager is rising in the UK Marsden (2007)reported that the: Use of performance appraisals as a basis for merit pay are used in65 percent of public sector and 69 percent of the private sector employees where appraisal covered all nonmanagerial staff(p.109).Merit pay has also grown in use as in 1998 20% of workplaces used performance related schemes compared to 32% in the same organizations 2004 (Kersley et al., 2006:191). The achievements of satisfactory ratings or above satisfactory performance averages were used as evidence to reward individual performance ratings in the UK Civil Service (Marsden, 2007).Table 13.2 outlines the extent of merit pay in 2004.The second issue is what forms of performance is rewarded. The use of past appraisal ratings as evidence of achieving merit-related payments linked to achieving higher performance was the predominant factor developed in the public services. The evidence on Setting performance targets have been as Kessler (2000:280) reported “inconsistent within organizations and problematic for certain professional or less skilled occupations where goals have not been easily formulated”. There has been inconclusive evidence from organizations on the impact of performance pay and its effectiveness in improving performance. Evidence from a number of individual performance pay schemes report organizations suspending or reviewing them on the grounds that individual performance reward has produced no effect in performance or even demotivates staff(Kessler, 2000:281).More in-depth studies setting performance goals followed by appraisal on how well they were resulted in loss of motivation whilst maintaining productivity and achieved managers using imposing increased performance standards (Marsden and Richardson, 1994). As Randell(1994) had highlighted earlier, the potential objectivity and self-criticism in appraisal reviews become areas that appraisees refuse to acknowledge as weaknesses with appraisers if this leads to a reduction in their merit pay.Objectivity and self reflection for development becomes a weakness that appraises fail to acknowledge as a developmental issue if it reduces their chances of a reduced evaluation that will reduce their merit reward. The review of civil service merit pay (Makinson, 2000)reported from 4major UK Civil Service Agencies and the National Health Service concluded that existing forms of performance pay and performance management had failed to motivate many staff.The conclusions were that employees found individual performance pay divisive and led to reduced willingness to co-operate with management ,citing managerial favorites and manipulation of appraisal scores to lower ratings to save paying rewards to staff (Marsden and French, 1998).This has clear implications on the relationship between line managers and appraises and the demotivational consequences and reduced commitment provide clear evidence of the danger to linking individual performance appraisal to reward in the public services. Employees focus on the issues that gain key performance focus by focusing on specific objectives related to key performance indicators rather than all personal objectives. A study of banking performance pay by Lewis(1998)highlighted imposed targets which were unattainable with a range of 20 performance targets with narrow short term financial orientatated goals. The narrow focus on key targets and neglect of other performance aspects leads to tasks not being delivered.This final issue of judging management standards has already highlighted issues of inequity and bias based on gender (Beyer, 1990; Chen and DiTomasio, 1996; Fletcher, 1999). The suggested solutions to resolved Iscrimination have been proposed as enhanced interpersonal skills training are increased equitable use of 360 degree appraisal as a method to evaluate feedback from colleagues as this reduces the use of the “political metaphor”(Randell, 1994;Fletcher, 1999).On measures linking performance to improvement require a wider approach to enhanced work design and motivation to develop and enhance employee job satisfaction and the design of linkages between effort and performance are significant in the private sector and feedback and awareness in the public sector (Fletcher and Williams, 1996:176). Where rises be in pay were determined by achieving critical rated appraisal objectives, employees are less self critical and open to any developmental needs in a performance review.13.4 ConclusionAs performance appraisal provides a major potential for employee feedback that could link strongly to increasing motivation ,and a opportunity to clarify goals and achieve long term individual performance and career development why does it still suffers from what Randell describes as a muddle and confusion which still surrounds the theory and practice?There are key issues that require resolution and a great deal depends on the extent to which you have a good relationship with your line manager . Barlow(1989)argued `if you get off badly with your first two managers ,you may just as well forget it (p. 515).The evidence on the continued practice of appraisals is that they are still institutionally elaborated systems of management appraisal and development is significant rhetoric in the apparatus of bureaucratic control by managers (Barlow, 1989). In reality the companies create, review, change and even abolish appraisals if they fail to develop and enhance organisational performance(Kessler, 2000). Despite all the criticism and evidence the critics have failed to suggest an alternative for a process that can provide feedback, develop motivation, identify training and potential and evidence that can justify potential career development and justify reward(Hartle, 1997).绩效考核的困境Peter Prowse and Julie Prowse摘要本文旨在用绩效考核方法来解决绩效管理的困境。

According to the problems existing atthe present stage Chinese enterprise performance evaluation, put forward the improvement measures to improve the performance appraisal. Performance management is the responsibility between managers and employees and improve the communication performance of the ongoing. The partners should understand why they become partners, thereby supporting the work. Performance evaluation is a part of performance management, do not confuse the twoIntroductionChallenges of performance managementReasons to avoid performance management: Manager: reports and program has no meaning; no time; afraid of conflict; feedback and observation. (performance management, prevent problems in investment in time, ensure the managers have the time to do the thing you should do staff: bad experience; what was about to happen no bottom; do not understand the significance of performance management; don't like received criticism. Criterion two, performance management, organizational success: 1 Factors: coordination among units means, towards a common goal; problem, find the problems, find problems or prevent problems; obey the law, be protected by the law; make major decisions, a way of getting information; improve the quality of staff, to make the organization more competitive., performance management of organization,must be useful to managers, the only reason of performancemanagement is to help employees to success. to understand better how to design and what made him act. , the performance management challenge is how to find practical,meaningful ways to finish it, which need thought and wisdom.Performance management is a systemThe performance plan -- starting point of performance management:employees and managers to work together, as employees do what, do what degree of problem identification, understanding.Continuous performance communication: both tracking progress, find the obstacles that affect performance and process so that the two sides success required information. Communication methods: (1) around were observed; (2)employees; (3) allow employees to work review;Performance diagnosis: to identify individuals, departments and organizational performance by the real reason for the problem of communication and problem solving process.Performance management is a small system in the large system. If you want to get the maximum profit, must complete the performance management process,and not a part of.Performance management and strategic planning, budget, staff ,employee salary incentive system, improve the quality of plans are related. Do the performance management process to do the preparation of1, there are two key points: with the staff to collect meaningful, to establish the information needed to measurable goals; to do some basic work, so that in the whole process of performance management and employee can fully cooperation. In part, access to information and data of performance management effect is it can help organizations, units and employees towards a direction some "target"information each employee's job description; (2) employee last performance review data and related documents.The performance plan three steps: preparation, meeting, finalize plans. your job, you should do what, how to measure your success, sets threat mosphere and seize the key; to review the relevant information, ask more,talk less; the job duties and specific goal; determine the success criteria; discuss what are the difficulties and need what help; discuss the importance level and authorized to ask problem; 4, note: in the performance management process, should pay attention to communication with staff thought is the action guide, to carry out effective performance communication, we must pay attention to in the thought. All aspects of the performance communication throughout the performance cycle, plays an important role in any one link in the chain, leaving the performance communication, any unilateral decisions managers will affect the enthusiasm of the staff, performance management. No performance communication there is no performancemanagement. In order to make the performance management on the right track, truly play its role,enterprises must put the supervisor and employee performance communication as a priority among priorities to research and development, through the system specification, performance management become competent habit, the habit of employees, to solve the performance problem employees work for dialogue and exchanges, the performance management into effect.Three methods of performance evaluation: Predicament 1, individual performance evaluation --: the best opera actor and amateur orchestra concert.The opera actors play the extreme, but the effect is very bad. No one is isolated,only focus on the individual, can not solve the problem. We call on an individual basis on employee performance evaluation, but if we emphasize individual performance but not the antecedents and consequences and conditions of performance, we do not progress, because we did not find the real reason -- may be because employees can not control things and punish employees, may also be because of the wrong reason 2, regardless of the what way to assess performance, avoid two traps are important: 1) don't do performance problems or"always the fault of employees" this hypothesis; 2) without any assessment can give the "why" and "what is happening in the picture". Evaluation is just the beginning, is a further discussion as well as the starting point of diagnosis. Three methods of performance evaluation: 3, 1) rating method:: features,to and behavior project; identify each project performance level gauge and other ways. Advantages: easy to finish the work of assessment. Disadvantages:forget why do this work; too vague, in the performance plan, prevention,protection and development staff and so did not what role in improving methods:with employees regularly write brief conversation; evaluation; interpretation and evaluation project meaning; together with the staff rating 2) ranking method:forcing staff to compete with each other, have stimulation can be short term, long term may cause internal malicious competition. 3) target and standard evaluation method: Standard: according to the prior and employees a series of established criteria to measure the performance of employees. Advantages: the personal goals and work together to reduce the possibility of target; both sides disagree;defect: need more time; text work more; more energy. Communication method and communication technologyWay of thinking: the process of performance management is the process of communication.Relationship with the staff is not only reflected in the behavior on performance management, but also should reflect the daily and how successful way of thinking: A, the process of performance management is a complete process together with the staff, not a for staff B, except for some unilateral disciplinary action, performance plan, communication and assessment should adopt a cooperative mode; C, most of the staff, once you understand what they are asked to do things,will try the method can meet the requirements D,performance management is not the purpose of staring past mistakes, clear posibility, but in the problem solving problems and possible e, performance deficit to be clear, the cause of the deficit, whether for personal reasons or the system reason; F, in most cases, if the manager will support staff as their work,so that each employee 2, must set some skills communication skills: Manager here guide employees to participate in the discussion process and understand the process of responsibility. Purpose: don't most probably it did not actually happen. Be prepared to establish a common responsibility and each stage all contribute to the relationship, the target. Clear the common responsibility: to improve the performance is not only the responsibility of the staff. Clear procedures: prevent conflict resolution skills: clear individual responsibility, invites employees to take advice. For the people of the criticism and comments: avoid if you don't listen, you don't know what you talking about,could you be quiet for a while, you read the report in the past did not remarks:avoid such as how many years, you always can't finish the job on time, we have ried that, there is no with the need need making guide guilty intent: to avoid if you really care about the team, you should work harder; I guess you don't care about this project not appropriate advice and sure: avoid as I know the project is late, but I'm sure you'll catch up; you will do well. You will understand the need,need to unsolicited advice and sure: avoid you mustdo it; this is the only way; to finish this today, and put it on my desk. A provocative question: Why did you say those who avoid. What you think; is the need to need; what is you get this conclusion? Don't trust to avoid language: are you sure you can finish on time?I've heard you need to exaggerate these need: avoid you never finish the work on time; you always try to reject my proposal. The cooling technique of fierce debate. The performance of a, discuss the process of dispute, we should pay attention to two goals: must make suggestions on conflict; avoid damage relations, cause new problems in the future performance. B, give employees a vent frustration and anger for feeling, not very fast counter attack. C, remember the people when they do appear conflict. D, the way of handling conflicts: conflicts through persuasion, won the right to try to understand the means; staff positions, find a solution. E, conflict is the most effective treatment technology is active listening.F, and be confused in mind or angry employees dealing, the basic principle is the first concern of his emotional. G, disputes arise, request the dispute settle ment measures, but never from the subject. H, too excited, communication should be suspended.The performance of communication is the core of performance management, is refers to between the employers and employees performance evaluation reflects the problems and evaluation mechanism itself to conduct substantive interviews,and tries to seek countermeasures,a management method for service in the later stage of enterprise and employee performance, improve and enhance the.A process of performance management is on the lower level on the performance target setting and implementation and ongoing two-way communication.译文:绩效管理——如何考评员工表现摘要绩效考核是现代企业人力资源管理的重要内容。

Unfortunately, too few seem to understand or accept that these developments call for radically new and different ways of leading and managing. Traditional management practices do not make usthe agile organizations we need to be.The problem starts with the label, "Performance Management" implying, "If I don't manage you, there will be no performance."We need a new mindset, one that is less about managing performance and more about creating conditions for great performance to occur. We need self-regulating models, requiring less management, but more leadership from everyone.Think about traffic, where we want good performance and a safe good flow. Traffic authorities have different ways of making this happen. The traffic light is a popular choice, but those managing the process (programmers) are not in the situation; information used in their process is not fresh, which is clear as you wait in front of that red light.The roundabout is a very different alternative. Those managing are the drivers themselves. The information used isreal time, coming from own observations. While that information is also available in front of the traffic light, drivers do not have the authority to act on it. By the way, the "zipper" or "every second car through" is not a rule, but a guiding principle.The roundabout normally is more efficient than the traffic light, because of two significant differences in the decision-making process, information and authority. A third element is also required for the roundabout to be more efficient: while the traffic light is a simple-rulesbased system, the roundabout is values-based. A value-set based on, "Me first, I don't care about the rest," is not a big a problem in front of the red light, but is a serious problem in a roundabout. Here, a positive common purpose of wanting a safe and good flow is critical. Drivers must be more considerate, open about own intentions while trying to understand the intentions of peers. Instead of managing performance, traffic authorities have created conditions for self-managed performance to occur.What would the implications be for the loathed performance review? The principles and practices described at Return Path are sensible and interesting. I like the concept of horizontal commitments toward peers, instead of vertical commitments to higher management. At the same time, we need to broaden our definition of performance. In traditional performance, a commitment is too often about "hitting the number." This is too narrow. We need to ask questions such as, how are we doing compared to peers? How are we using KPIs to reflect on performance, or using hindsight and management assessment to verify results? Did we really move toward our longer-term ambitions? How sustainable are the results? Last but not least, there has to be room for values if performance systems are tofoster intelligent behavior; we need to ask, how where those results achieved?At Statoil our integrated performance management approach links ambitions to actions. Our targets reflect a broad set of ambitions,including people, health, safety, environment, operations and financial performance. Read more about our management model and how we apply a holistic and values-based approach to this broader performance agenda.The words of Dee Hock, former GEO of Visa, should guide the design of our management processes, including our performance reviews: "Simple, clear purpose and principles give rise to complex, intelligent behavior. Complex rules and regulations give rise to simple, stupid behavior."While researching my book. Talent Economics, I interviewed employees about what really motivates today's workforce. I discovered a disconnect between the performance support my interviewees wanted versus how managers recounted their contribution to these conversations.Over the last 20 years, the employee mindset has evolved faster than has the art and science of management. Nowhere is this starker than in the area of performance management practices, particularly the annual review. In both the developed and developing world, employees report that this end-of-year activity breeds stress, anxiety and mistrust. How ironic that a process aimed at improving organizational performance, is itself underperforming!It's time to "reboot" our performance management operating system, installing two specific system updates: l. The "Democracy" update. As much as we try to make theperformance appraisal a two way dialogue, we cannot run away from the fact that at its core, the conversation today is often a top-down review. My research shows that many 21st century employees are rejecting conversations that are one-way: in hot job markets today, managers must realize "who is appraising whom." With other offers readily available, many employees enter a performance dialogue privately considering if their manager is worth another year of their career. The performance management conversation now reflects a company's Employee Value Proposition, much as we learn in the lead Perspective.The Democracy update means that managers only gain the right to give feedback when they first genuinely seek the same on their own performance as leaders. Not just through 360-degree reviews, but also through authentic conversations asking, "How am I performing as your manager? " and "How can I help you succeed?" Only then can the conversation shift to, "How you can improve?"and "This is what you should focus on."2. The Success module. Greater employee autonomy and empowerment also changes the meaning of management. We have gone from a "supervisor of task and outcomes" to an "enabler of performance, innovative thinking and collective success." To make this shift, we must give up the judge's robes for the coach's uniform. If employees don't succeed, managers are on the hook, too.This is particularly relevant when coaching a team to success. People bring different skills to a team and how well they work together really matters. If team reviews work better to achieve a goal, so be it. The Return Path story illustrates how review processes can be designed and executed around what matters most, and where everyone dons the uniforms of player and coach.What if, instead of making the heart of a performance conversation the evaluation, it became a vehicle to improve success of the individual, the team and the business? What if performance feedback was paired with dialogue about transforming the business, the product or customer experience? This genuinely reboots and upgrades performance management to focus on individual and organizational success.It is indeed time to upgrade performance management practices: we can no longer manage a 21st century employee using 20th century mindsets.People & Strategy. 2013, V ol. 36 Issue 2, p12-13. 2p.译文:绩效管理能促进自我管理行为吗?Bjarte Bogsnes世界随着时间的推移而变化莫测,连那些与时变化而不可预测的通道也随之改变,与此同时组织人员的能力和期望也顺应时代潮流。

Performance management-how to appraise employee performance AbstractPerformance appraisal is an important content of human resource management in modern enterprises. According to the problems existing at the present stage Chinese enterprise performance evaluation, put forward the improvement measures to improve the performance appraisal. Performance management is the responsibility between managers and employees and improve the communication performance of the ongoing. The partners should understand why they become partners, thereby supporting the work. Performance evaluation is a part of performance management, do not confuse the twoIntroductionChallenges of performance managementReasons to avoid performance management: Manager: reports and program has no meaning; no time; afraid of conflict; feedback and observation. (performance management, prevent problems in investment in time, ensure the managers have the time to do the thing you should do staff: bad experience; what was about to happen no bottom; do not understand the significance of performance management; don't like received criticism. Criterion two, performance management, organizational success: 1 Factors: coordination among units means, towards a common goal; problem, find the problems, find problems or prevent problems; obey the law, be protected by the law; make major decisions, a way of getting information; improve the quality of staff, to make the organization more competitive., performance management of organization,must be useful to managers, the only reason of performance management is to help employees to success. to understand better how to design and what made him act. , the performance management challenge is how to find practical,meaningful ways to finish it, which need thought and wisdom.Performance management is a systemThe performance plan -- starting point of performance management:employees and managers to work together, as employees do what, do what degree of problem identification, understanding.Continuous performance communication: both trackingprogress, find the obstacles that affect performance and process so that the two sides success required information. Communication methods: (1) around were observed;(2)employees; (3) allow employees to work review;Performance diagnosis: to identify individuals, departments and organizational performance by the real reason for the problem of communication and problem solving process.Performance management is a small system in the large system. If you want to get the maximum profit, must complete the performance management process,and not a part of.Performance management and strategic planning, budget, staff ,employee salary incentive system, improve the quality of plans are related. Do the performance management process to do the preparation of 1, there are two key points: with the staff to collect meaningful, to establish the information needed to measurable goals; to do some basic work, so that in the whole process of performance management and employee can fully cooperation. In part, access to information and data of performance management effect is it can help organizations, units and employees towards a direction some "target"information each employee's job description; (2) employee last performance review data and related documents.The performance plan three steps: preparation, meeting, finalize plans. your job, you should do what, how to measure your success, sets threat mosphere and seize the key; to review the relevant information, ask more,talk less; the job duties and specific goal; determine the success criteria; discuss what are the difficulties and need what help; discuss the importance level and authorized to ask problem; 4, note: in the performance management process, should pay attention to communication with staff thought is the action guide, to carry out effective performance communication, we must pay attention to in the thought. All aspects of the performance communication throughout the performance cycle, plays an important role in any one link in the chain, leaving the performance communication, any unilateral decisions managers will affect the enthusiasm of the staff, performance management. No performance communication there is no performance management. In order to make the performance management on the right track, truly play its role,enterprises mustput the supervisor and employee performance communication as a priority among priorities to research and development, through the system specification, performance management become competent habit, the habit of employees, to solve the performance problem employees work for dialogue and exchanges, the performance management into effect.Three methods of performance evaluation: Predicament 1, individual performance evaluation --: the best opera actor and amateur orchestra concert.The opera actors play the extreme, but the effect is very bad. No one is isolated,only focus on the individual, can not solve the problem. We call on an individual basis on employee performance evaluation, but if we emphasize individual performance but not the antecedents and consequences and conditions of performance, we do not progress, because we did not find the real reason -- may be because employees can not control things and punish employees, may also be because of the wrong reason 2, regardless of the what way to assess performance, avoid two traps are important: 1) don't do performance problems or"always the fault of employees" this hypothesis; 2) without any assessment can give the "why" and "what is happening in the picture". Evaluation is just the beginning, is a further discussion as well as the starting point of diagnosis. Three methods of performance evaluation: 3, 1) rating method:: features, to and behavior project; identify each project performance level gauge and other ways. Advantages: easy to finish the work of assessment. Disadvantages:forget why do this work; too vague, in the performance plan, prevention,protection and development staff and so did not what role in improving methods:with employees regularly write brief conversation; evaluation; interpretation and evaluation project meaning; together with the staff rating 2) ranking method:forcing staff to compete with each other, have stimulation can be short term, long term may cause internal malicious competition. 3) target and standard evaluation method: Standard: according to the prior and employees a series of established criteria to measure the performance of employees. Advantages: the personal goals and work together to reduce the possibility of target; both sides disagree;defect: need more time; text work more; more energy.Communication method and communication technologyWay of thinking: the process of performance management is the process of communication.Relationship with the staff is not only reflected in the behavior on performance management, but also should reflect the daily and how successful way of thinking: A, the process of performance management is a complete process together with the staff, not a for staff B, except for some unilateral disciplinary action, performance plan, communication and assessment should adopt a cooperative mode; C, most of the staff, once you understand what they are asked to do things, will try the method can meet the requirements D,performance management is not the purpose of staring past mistakes, clear posibility, but in the problem solving problems and possible e, performance deficit to be clear, the cause of the deficit, whether for personal reasons or the system reason; F, in most cases, if the manager will support staff as their work,so that each employee 2, must set some skills communication skills: Manager here guide employees to participate in the discussion process and understand the process of responsibility. Purpose: don't most probably it did not actually happen. Be prepared to establish a common responsibility and each stage all contribute to the relationship, the target. Clear the common responsibility: to improve the performance is not only the responsibility of the staff. Clear procedures: prevent conflict resolution skills: clear individual responsibility, invites employees to take advice. For the people of the criticism and comments: avoid if you don't listen, you don't know what you talking about,could you be quiet for a while, you read the report in the past did not remarks:avoid such as how many years, you always can't finish the job on time, we have ried that, there is no with the need need making guide guilty intent: to avoid if you really care about the team, you should work harder; I guess you don't care about this project not appropriate advice and sure: avoid as I know the project is late, but I'm sure you'll catch up; you will do well. You will understand the need,need to unsolicited advice and sure: avoid you must do it; this is the only way; to finish this today, and put it on my desk. A provocative question: Why did you say those who avoid. What you think; is the need to need; what is you get this conclusion? Don't trust to avoid language: are you sure you can finish on time?I've heard you need to exaggerate these need: avoid you never finish the work on time; you always try to reject my proposal. The cooling technique of fierce debate.The performance of a, discuss the process of dispute, we should pay attention to two goals: must make suggestions on conflict; avoid damage relations, cause new problems in the future performance. B, give employees a vent frustration and anger for feeling, not very fast counter attack. C, remember the people when they do appear conflict. D, the way of handling conflicts: conflicts through persuasion, won the right to try to understand the means; staff positions, find a solution. E, conflict is the most effective treatment technology is active listening.F, and be confused in mind or angry employees dealing, the basic principle is the first concern of his emotional. G, disputes arise, request the dispute settle ment measures, but never from the subject. H, too excited, communication should be suspended.The performance of communication is the core of performance management, is refers to between the employers and employees performance evaluation reflects the problems and evaluation mechanism itself to conduct substantive interviews,and tries to seek countermeasures, a management method for service in the later stage of enterprise and employee performance, improve and enhance the.A process of performance management is on the lower level on the performance target setting and implementation and ongoing two-way communication.绩效管理——如何考评员工表现摘要绩效考核是现代企业人力资源管理的重要内容。

绩效管理英译Performance ManagementPerformance management is a systematic process that helps organizations achieve their goals by maximizing the individual and collective performances of their employees. It involves setting clear objectives, measuring performance against these objectives, providing regular feedback, and taking appropriate actions to improve performance. The ultimate aim of performance management is to enhance productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness within the organization.Effective performance management begins with the establishment of clear and specific goals. These goals should be aligned with the overall objectives of the organization and should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound). By having well-defined goals, employees have a clear understanding of what is expected from them, which helps in driving their performance.After setting goals, the next step in performance management is measuring performance. This involves collecting and analyzing data to assess whether employees are meeting their objectives. Various methods can be used for performance measurement, such as self-assessment, supervisor evaluation, peer feedback, and customer feedback. The performance data should be objective, accurate, and reliable to provide a fair assessment of employee performance.Feedback is a crucial component of performance management. It helps employees understand how well they are performing and providesopportunities for improvement. Feedback should be provided on a regular basis, both in formal performance reviews and informal discussions. It should be constructive, specific, and focused on behaviors and outcomes rather than personal characteristics. Positive feedback should be given to recognize and reinforce good performance, while negative feedback should be delivered in a supportive and developmental manner.Based on the feedback received, performance management involves taking appropriate actions to improve performance. This may include providing additional training and development opportunities, coaching and mentoring, reallocating resources, or making changes to job responsibilities. It is important to tailor the actions to the individual needs and circumstances of each employee to maximize their potential and address performance gaps.Performance management is not a one-time event but an ongoing process. It requires continuous monitoring and review to ensure goals are being achieved and performance is improving. Regular check-ins and follow-ups should be conducted to track progress, provide feedback, and make necessary adjustments. This helps in identifying any issues or challenges early on and taking corrective actions promptly.In recent years, performance management has evolved to focus more on a strengths-based approach rather than a solely deficit-based approach. This involves recognizing and leveraging employees' strengths and talents to enhance performance. By focusing on strengths, organizations can create a more positive and motivating work environment, leading to higher engagement and productivity.In conclusion, performance management is a critical tool for organizations to enhance employee performance and achieve their objectives. By setting clear goals, measuring performance, providing regular feedback, and taking appropriate actions, organizations can drive employee productivity, improve efficiency, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. It is an ongoing process that requires commitment and collaboration from both employees and managers to ensure success.。

评价作为判定人或事物价值的一种观念性活动,包括确定评价目的、选定评价标准(或评价参照系统),获取评价信息,形成价值判断四个环节。

企业经营业绩评价是指运用科学,规范的评价方法,采用特定的指标体系,对照统一的评价标准,按照一定的程序,进行定量及定性分析,对企业一定经营期间的经营效益和经营者业绩作出真实、客观、公正的综合评判。

它是评价理论方法在经济领域的具体应用,它是在会计学和财务管理的基础上,运用计量经济学原理和现代分析技术而建立起来的剖析企业经营过程,真实反映企业现实经济状况,预测企业未来发展前景的一门科学。

In today's dynamic business environment, effective EPM practices are essential for businesses to thrive and remain competitive.One key component of EPM is performance measurement. This involves the establishment of clear performancemetrics and indicators to assess the progress towards organizational goals. By defining key performanceindicators (KPIs) across different departments and levelsof the organization, businesses can monitor performance, identify areas for improvement, and make informed decisions to drive growth.Another important aspect of EPM is performance analysis.This involves the systematic evaluation of performance data to gain insights into the factors influencing performance and to identify trends and patterns. Through techniquessuch as variance analysis, trend analysis, and benchmarking, organizations can identify areas of strength and weakness, as well as opportunities and threats, enabling them to take corrective actions and optimize performance.Furthermore, EPM involves performance planning and goal setting. This entails the development of strategic plansand objectives that align with the organization's mission and vision. By cascading goals from the top management to individual employees, businesses can ensure alignment and coherence across all levels, fostering a sense of purpose and direction among employees.Moreover, EPM encompasses performance reporting and communication. This involves the dissemination of performance information to relevant stakeholders, including employees, managers, investors, and other external parties.

绩效考核外文文献及翻译外文文献1.Performance appraisals - purpose and how to make it easier Performance appraisals are essential for the effective management and evaluation of staff. Appraisals help develop individuals, improve organizational performance, and feed into business planning. Formal performance appraisals are generally conducted annually for all staff in the organization. His or her line manager appraises each staff member. Directors are appraised by the CEO, who is appraised by the chairman or company owners, depending on the size and structure of the organization. Annual performance appraisals enable management and monitoring of standards, agreeing expectations and objectives, and delegation of responsibilities and tasks. Staff performance appraisals also establish individual training needs and enable organizational training needs analysis and planning. Performance appraisals also typically feed into organizational annual pay and grading reviews, which commonly also coincide with the business planning for the next trading year. Performance appraisals generally review each individual's performance against objectives and standards for the trading year, agreed at the previous appraisal meeting. Performance appraisals are also essential for career and succession planning - for individuals, crucial jobs, and for the organization as a whole. Performance appraisals are important for staff motivation, attitude and behavior development, communicating and aligning individual and organizational aims, and fostering positive relationships between management and staff. Performance appraisals provide a formal, recorded, regular review of an individual's performance, and a plan for future development. Job performance appraisals - in whatever form they take - are therefore vital for managing the performance of people and organizations. Managers and appraises commonly dislike appraisals and try to avoid them. To these people the appraisal is daunting and time-consuming. The process is seen as a difficult administrative chore and emotionally challenging. The annual appraisal is maybe the only time since last year that the two people have sat down together for a meaningful one-to-one discussion. No wonder then that appraisals are stressful - which then defeats the whole purpose. Appraisals are much easier, and especially more relaxed, if the boss meets each of the team members individually and regularly for one-to-one discussion throughout the year. Meaningful regular discussion about work, career, aims, progress, development, hopes and dreams, life, the universe, the TV, common interests, etc., whatever, makes appraisals so much easier because people then know and trust each other - which reduces all the stress and the uncertainty. Put off discussions and of course they loom very large. So don't wait for the annual appraisal to sit down and talk. The boss or the appraises can instigate this. If you are an employee with a shy boss, then take the lead. If you are a boss who rarely sits down and talks with people - or whose people are not used to talking with their boss - then set about relaxing the atmosphere and improving relationships. Appraisals (and work) all tend to be easier when people communicate well and know each other. So sit down together and talk as often as you can, and then when the actual formal appraisals are due everyone will find the whole process to be far more natural, quick, and easy - and a lot more productive too. 2.Appraisals, social responsibility and whole-person development There is increasingly a need for performance appraisals of staff and especially managers, directors and CEO's, to include accountabilities relating to corporate responsibility, represented by various converging corporate responsibility concepts including: the “Triple Bottom Line”; corporate so cial responsibility (CSR); Sustainability; corporate integrity and ethics; Fair Trade, etc. The organization must decide the extent to which these accountabilities are reflected in job responsibilities, which would thennaturally feature accordingly in performance appraisals. More about this aspect of responsibility is in the directors’ job descriptions section. Significantly also, while this appraisal outline is necessarily a formal structure this does not mean that the development discussed with the appraises must be formal and constrained. In fact the opposite applies. Appraisals must address “whole person” development - not just job skills or the skills required for the next promotion. Appraisals must not discriminate against anyone on the grounds of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability, etc. The UK Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006, (consistent with Europe), effective from 1st October 2006, make it particularly important to avoid any comments, judgments, suggestions, questions or decisions which might be perceived by the appraises to be based on age. This means people who are young as well as old. Age, along with other characteristics stated above, is not a lawful basis for assessing and managing people, unless proper 'objective justification' can be proven. See the Age Diversity information. When designing or planning and conducting appraisals, seek to help the 'whole-person' to grow in whatever direction they want, not just to identify obviously relevant work skills training. Increasingly, the best employers recognize that growing the 'whole person' promotes positive attitudes, advancement, motivation, and also develops lots of new skills that can be surprisingly relevant to working productively and effectively in any sort of organization. Developing the whole-person is also an important aspect of modern corporate responsibility, and separately (if you needed a purely business-driven incentive for adopting these principles), whole-person development is a crucial advantage in the employment market, in which all employers compete to attract the best recruits, and to retain the best staff. Therefore in appraisals, be creative and imaginative in discussing, discovering and agreeing 'whole-person' development that people will respond to, beyond the usual job skill-set, and incorporate this sort of development into the appraisal process. Abraham Maslow recognized this over fifty years ago. If you are an employee and your employer has yet to embrace or even acknowledge these concepts, do them a favor at your own appraisal and suggest they look at these ideas, or maybe mention it at your exit interview prior to joining a better employer who cares about the people, not just the work. Incidentally the Multiple Intelligences test and V AK Learning Styles test are extremely useful tools for appraisals, before or after, to help people understand their natural potential and strengths and to help managers understand this about their people too. There are a lot of people out there who are in jobs which don't allow them to use and develop their greatest strengths; so the more we can help folk understand their own special potential, and find roles that really fit well, the happier we shall all be. 3 .Are performance appraisals still beneficial and appropriate It is sometimes fashionable in the 'modern age' to dismiss traditional processes such as performance appraisals as being irrelevant or unhelpful. Be very wary however if considering removing appraisals from your own organizational practices. It is likely that the critics of the appraisal process are the people who can't conduct them very well. It's a common human response to want to jettison something that one finds difficult. Appraisals - in whatever form, and there are various - have been a mainstay of management for decades, for good reasons. Think about everything that performance appraisals can achieve and contribute to when they are properly managed, for example: (1)performance measurement - transparent, short, medium and long term (2)clarifying, defining, redefining priorities and objectives (3)motivation through agreeing helpful aims and targets (4)motivation though achievement and feedback (5)training needs and learning desires - assessment and agreement (6)identification of personal strengths and direction - including unused hidden strengths (7)career and succession planning -personal and organizational (8)team roles clarification and team building (9)organizational training needs assessment and analysis (10)appraise and manager mutual awareness, understanding and relationship (11)resolving confusions and misunderstandings (12)reinforcing and cascading organizational philosophies, values, aims, strategies, priorities, etc (13)delegation, additional responsibilities, employee growth and development (14)counseling and feedback (15)manager development - all good managers should be able to conduct appraisals well - it's a fundamental process (16)the list goes on People have less and less face-to-face time together these days. Performance appraisals offer a way to protect and manage these valuable face-to-face opportunities. My advice is to hold on to and nurture these situations, and if you are under pressure to replace performance appraisals with some sort of (apparently) more efficient and cost effective methods, be very sure that you can safely cover all the aspects of performance and attitudinal development that a well-run performance appraisals system is naturally designed to achieve. There are various ways of conducting performance appraisals, and ideas change over time as to what are the most effective appraisals methods and systems. Some people advocate traditional appraisals and forms; others prefer 360-degree-type appraisals; others suggest using little more than a blank sheet of paper. In fact performance appraisals of all types are effective if they are conducted properly, and better still if the appraisal process is clearly explained to, agreed by, the people involved. Managers need guidance, training and encouragement in how to conduct appraisals properly. Especially the detractors and the critics. Help anxious managers (and directors) develop and adapt appraisals methods that work for them. Be flexible. There are lots of ways to conduct appraisals, and particularly lots of ways to diffuse apprehension and fear - for managers and appraises alike. Particularly - encourage people to sit down together and review informally and often - this removes much of the pressure for managers and appraises at formal appraisals times. Leaving everything to a single make-or-break discussion once a year is asking for trouble and trepidation. Look out especially for the warning signs of 'negative cascaded attitudes' towards appraisals. This is most often found where a senior manager or director hates conducting appraisals, usually because they are uncomfortable and inexperienced in conducting them. The senior manager/director typically will be heard to say that appraisals don't work and are a waste of time, which for them becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. All that said, performance appraisals that are administered without training (for those who need it), without explanation or consultation, and conducted poorly will be counter-productive and is a waste of everyone's time. Well-prepared and well-conducted performance appraisals provide unique opportunities to help appraise and managers improve and develop, and thereby also the organizations for whom they work. Just like any other process, if performance appraisals aren't working, don't blame the process, ask yourself whether it is being properly trained, explained, agreed and conducted. 4. Effective performance appraisals Aside from formal traditional (annual, six-monthly, quarterly, or monthly) performance appraisals, there are many different methods of performance evaluation. The use of any of these methods depends on the purpose of the evaluation, the individual, the assessor, and the environment. The formal annual performance appraisal is generally the over-riding instrument, which gathers together and reviews all other performance data for the previous year. Performance appraisals should be positive experiences. The appraisals process provides the platform for development and motivation, so organizations should foster a feeling that performance appraisals are positive opportunities, in order to get the best out of the people and the process. In certain organizations, performance appraisals are widely regarded as something rather less welcoming('blocking sessions' is not an unusual description), which provides a basis only on which to develop fear and resentment, so never, never, never use a staff performance appraisal to handle matters of discipline or admonishment, which should instead be handled via separately arranged meetings. 5.

外文翻译原文正文:Performance ManagementWith the rapid development of economic globalization, and the competition in comprehensive national strength of the various countries and regions are increasingly drastic. However the talents competition is the main aspect of the comprehensive national strength of the competition, in this case, the development and utilization of human resources in the enterprise becoming an increasing essential role in Performance Appraisal which is an crucial tool to improve enterprise management. At the same time, Performance Management is also becoming one of the most important means of the organization's human resource management to help businesses maintain and improve productivity, achieve the strategic tasks and objectives. This report will start from the development and function of performance management to analyze the pattern of performance management, and then describe the performance of our existing management problems and find solutions. We are expected to establish a scientific and rational operational performance management system to improve the competitiveness of enterprises to help enterprises get a long-term development.Performance Management is the management in terms of the various elements in the implementation process of performance, and it is based on a foundation of corporate strategy management activities. Performance Management is a management activities motivate employees to keep continual improvement of performance and ultimately achieve the l strategy and goals of organization through the establishment of corporate strategy, target decomposition, performance evaluation, and apply the results in the day-to-day management activities of enterprises. The ideas and methods of performance management are being adopted by many companies around the world, and valued by more and more Chinese entrepreneurs as well.Performance Management is the most important training management system for Chinese corporate to cultivate world-class competitiveness. The creating, implementing and continuously improving enterprise performance management system is become one of the most urgent tasks placed in every CEOs’ desk drawer. The significance of performance management is that it stressed the effective combination of short-term goal and long-term strategic goals; strengthen the management of process that achieve the corporate goals and assessment of the behavioral effects in the course of business goals; enable to link the works of per employee per day with the corporate strategy, it effectively reflects the ability to complete the corporate strategy. Performance management has been put forward in the 1990s, it was rapidly used in the United States, and the governments of developed countries as a whole, and has big significance for Chinese enterprises as well. Since China joined in WTO, for state-owned enterprises, in order to be invincible in the international market, it is essential to make a substantial improvement in integrated enterprise management capabilities, especially in the corporate strategic management. The success of the implementation of the corporate strategy-based performance management will be the excellent and mediocre businesses watershed in the next decade. Strategy-based performance management should be the focus of the work for state-owned enterprises, and it is a inevitable choice for state-owned enterprises to establish a sound strategy-based performance management system.Dissecting the traditional performance management of state-owned enterprises, the main problem is the limit in terms of enterprise performance appraisal. From a strategic point of view, there are still some common problems in the performance management of state-owned enterprises, which is mainly in the Performance Management did not play a transmission role for the corporate strategy goals: the performance evaluation system lacks of scientific evaluation basis: lack of behavior-oriented performance management communication system; can not effectively use the results of the performanceevaluation. As a consequence, that makes the performance management to be just a formality, and cannot effectively play an important role in corporate strategic management. With the case study of ZY machinery manufacturing company, this report aims to find the main problems in performance management system, study the improvement measures, and propose the improvement project. Hope it can make contribution to the strategic performance management system of Henan ZY.中文译文:绩效管理在经济全球化高速发展的今天,各个国家和地区的综合国力的竞争越来越激烈,而人才的竞争是国家综合实力的竞争的重要方面,在这种情况下,人力资源的开发和利用在企业中起着越来越重要的作用,绩效考核作为提高企业管理的重要工具显得越来越重要,绩效管理也日益成为组织人力资源管理的重要手段,是帮助企业维持和提高生产力,实现企业战略任务和目标最有效的手段之一。

The authors will evaluate the historical development of appraisals and argue that the critical area of line management development that was been identified as a critical success factor in appraisals has been ignored in the later literature evaluating the effectiveness of performance through appraisals.This paper willevaluatethe aims and methodsof appraisal, thedifficulties encountered in the appraisalprocess. It also re-evaluates the lack of theoretical development in appraisaland move from he psychological approachesof analysistoamorecritical realisation ofapproaches before re-evaluating the challenge to remove subjectivity and bias in judgement of appraisal.13.1IntroductionThis paper will define and outline performance management and appraisal. It will start byevaluating what form of performance is evaluated, then develop links to the development of different performance traditions (Psychological tradition, Management by Objectives, Motivation and Development).It will outline the historical development of performance management then evaluate high performance strategies using performance appraisal. It will evaluate the continuing issue of subjectivity and ethical dilemmas regarding measurement and assessment of performance. The paper will then examine how organisations measure performance before evaluation of research on some recent trends in performance appraisal.This chapter will evaluate the historical development of performance appraisal from management by objectives (MBO) literature before evaluating the debates between linkages between performance management and appraisal. It will outline the development of individual performance before linking to performance management in organizations. The outcomes of techniques to increase organizational commitment, increase job satisfaction will be critically evaluated. It will further examine the transatlantic debates between literature on efficiency and effectiveness in the North American and the United Kingdom) evidence to evaluate the HRM development and contribution of performance appraisal to individual and organizational performance.13.2 What is Performance Management?The first is sue to discuss is the difficulty of definition of Performance Management. Armstrong and Barron(1998:8) define performance management as: A strategic and integrated approach to delivering sustained success to organisations by Improving performance of people who work in them by developing the capabilities of teams And individual performance.13.2.1 Performance AppraisalAppraisal potentially is a key tool in making the most of an organisation’s human resources. The use of appraisal is widespread estimated that 80–90%of organizations in the USA and UK were using appraisal and an increase from 69 to 87% of organisations between 1998 and 2004 reported a formal performance management system (Armstrong and Baron, 1998:200).There has been little evidence of the evaluation of the effectiveness of appraisal but more on the development in its use. Between 1998 and 2004 a sample from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD, 2007) of 562 firms found 506 were using performance appraisal in UK.What is also vital to emphasise is the rising use of performance appraisal feedback beyond performance for professionals and managers to nearly 95% of workplaces in the 2004 WERS survey (seeTable 13.1).Clearly the use of Appraisals has been the development and extension of appraisals to cover a large proportion of the UK workforce and the coverage of non managerial occupations and the extended use in private and public sectors.13.2.2 The Purpose of AppraisalsThe critical issue is what is the purpose of appraisals and how effective is it ?Researched and used in practice throughout organizations? The purpose of appraisals needs to be clearly identified. Firstly their purpose. Randell (1994) states they are a systematic evaluation of individual performance linked to workplace behaviour and/or specific criteria. Appraisals often take the form of an appraisal interview,usually annual,supported by standardised forms/paperwork.The key objective of appraisal is to provide feedback for performance is provided by the linemanager.The three key questions for quality of feedback:1. What and how are observations on performance made?2. Why and how are they discussed?3. What determines the level of performance in the job?It has been argued by one school of thought that these process cannot be performed effectively unless the line manager of person providing feedback has the interpersonal interviewing skills to providethat feedback to people being appraised. This has been defined as the “Bradford Approach” which places a high priority on appraisal skills development (Randell, 1994). This approach is outlined in Fig. 13.1 whichidentifies the linkages betweeninvolving,developing, rewarding and valuing people at work..13.2.3 Historical Development of AppraisalThe historical development of performance feedback has developed from a range of ap proaches.Formal observation of individual work performance was reported in Robert Owens’s Scottish factory inNew Lanarkin the early 1800s (Cole, 1925). Owen hung over machines a piece of coloured wood over machines to indicate the Super intendent’s assessment of the previous day’s conduct (white forexcellent, yellow, blue and then black for poor performance).The twentieth centuryled to F.W. Taylor and his measured performance and the scientific management movement (Taylor, 1964). The 1930sTraits Approaches identified personality and performance and used feedback using graphic rating scales, a mixed standard of performance scales noting behaviour in likert scale ratings.This was used to recruit and identify management potential in the field of selection. Later developments to prevent a middle scale from 5 scales then developed into a forced-choice scale which forced the judgement to avoid central ratings.The evaluation also included narrative statements and comments to support the ratings (Mair, 1958).In the 1940s Behavioural Methods were developed. These included Behavioural Anchored Rating Scales (BARS); Behavioural Observation Scales (BOS); Behavioural Evaluation Scales (BES); critical incident;job simulation. All these judgements were used to determine the specific levels of performance criteria to specific issues such as customer service and rated in factors such asexcellent,average or needs to improve or poor.These ratings are assigned numerical values and added to a statement or narrative comment by the assessor. It would also lead to identify any potential need for training and more importantly to identify talent for careers in linemanagement supervision and future managerial potential.Post1945 developed into the Results-oriented approaches and led to the development of management by objectives (MBO). This provided aims and specific targets to be achievedand with in time frames such as pecific sales, profitability,and deadlines with feedback on previous performance (Wherry, 1957).The deadlines may have required alteration and led to specific performance rankings of staff. It also provided a forced distributionof rankingsof comparative performance and paired comparison ranking of performance and setting and achieving objectives.In the 1960s the developmentof Self-appraisal by discussion led to specific time and opportunity for the appraisee to reflectively evaluate their performance in the discussion and the interview developed into a conversation on a range of topics that the appraise needed to discuss in the interview. Until this period the success of the appraisal was dependent on skill of interviewer.In the 1990s the development of 360-degree appraisal developed where information was sought from a wider range of sources and the feedback was no longer dependent on the manager-subordinate powerrelationship but included groups appraising the performance of line managers and peer feedback from peer groups on individual performance (Redman and Snape, 1992). The final development of appraisal interviews developed in the 1990s with the emphasis on the linking performance with financial reward which will be discussed later in the paper.13.2.4 Measures of PerformanceThe dilemma of appraisal has always to develop performance measures and the use of appraisal is the key part of this process. Quantitative measure of performance communicated as standards in the business and industry level standards translated to individual performance. The introduction of techniques such as the balanced score card developed by Kaplan and Norton (1992).Performance measures and evaluation included financial, customer evaluation, feedback on internal processes and Learning and Growth. Performance standards also included qualitative measures Which argue that there is an over emphasis on metrics of quantitative approach above the definitions of quality services and total quality management.In terms of performance measures there has been a transformation in literature and a move in the 1990s to the financial rewards linked to the level of performance.The debates will be discussed later in the paper.13.3 Criticism of AppraisalsCritiques of appraisal have continued as appraisal shave increased in use and scope across sectors and occupations. The dominant critique is the management framework using appraisal as an orthodox technique that seeks to remedy the weakness and propose of appraisals as a system to develop performance.This “orthodox” approach argues there are conflicting purposes of appraisal (Strebler et al, 2001). Appraisal can motivate staff by clarifying objectives and setting clear future objectives with provision for training and development needs to establish the performance objective. These conflicts with assessing past performance and distribution of rewards based on past performance (Bach, 2005:301).Employees are reluctant to confide any limitations and concerns on their current performance as this could impact on their merit related reward or promotion opportunities(Newton and Findley, 1996:43).This conflicts with performance as a continuum as appraisers are challenged with differing roles as both monitors and judges of performance but an understanding counsell or which Randell(1994)argues few manager shave not received the raining to perform.Appraisal Manager’s reluctance to criticise also stems from classic evidence fromMcGregor that managers are reluctant to make an egative judgement on an individual’s performance a si t could be demotivating,leadto accusationsoftheirown supportand contributiontoindividual poor performance and to also avoid interpersonal conflict (McGregor, 1957).One consequence of this avoidance of conflict is to rate all criterion as central and avoid any conflict known as the central tendency.In a study of senior managers by Long neckeretal.(1987),they found organisational politics influenced ratings of 60 senior executives.The findings were that politics involved deliberate attempts by individuals to enhance or protect self-interests when conflicting courses of action are possible and that ratings and decisions were affected by potential sources of bias or inaccuracy in their appraisal ratings (Longeneckeret al., 1987).There are methods of further bias beyond Longenecker’s evidence. The political judgements andthey have been distorted further by overrating some clear competencies in performance rather than being critical across all rated competencies known as the halo effect and if some competencies arelower they may prejudice the judgment acrossthe positive reviews known as the horns effect (ACAS, 1996).Some ratings may only cinclude recent events and these are known as the recency effects. In this case only recent events are noted compared to managers gathering and using data throughout the appraisal period .A particular concern is the equity of appraisal for ratings which may be distorted by gender ,ethnicity and the ratings of appraisers themselves .A range of studies in both the US and UK have highlighted subjectivity in terms of gender (Alimo-Metcalf, 1991;White, 1999) and ethnicity of the appraise and appraiser(Geddes and Konrad, 2003). Suggestions and solutions on resolving bias will be reviewed later.The second analysis is the radical critique of appraisal. This is the more critical management literature that argues that appraisal and performance management are about management control(Newton and Findley, 1996;Townley, 1993). It argues that tighter management control over employee behaviour can be achieved by the extension of appraisal to manual workers, professional as means to control. This develops the literature of Foucault using power and surveillance. This literature uses cases in examples of public service control on professionals such a teachers (Healy, 1997) and University professionals(Townley, 1990).This evidence argues the increased control of public services using appraisal as a method of control and that the outcome of managerial objectives ignores the developmental role of appraisal and ratings are awarded for people who accept and embrace the culture and organizational values . However, this literature ignores the employee resistance and the use of professional unions to challenge the attempts to exert control over professionals and staff in the appraisal process (Bach, 2005:306).One of the different issues of removing bias was the use of the test metaphor (Folgeretal.,1992).This was based on the assumption that appraisal ratings were a technical question of assessing “true” performance and there needed to be increased reliability and validity of appraisal as an instrument to develop motivation and performance. The sources of rater bias and errors can be resolved by improved organisational justice and increasing reliability of appraiser’s judgement.However there were problems such as an assumption that you can state job requirements clearly and the org anization is “rational” with objectives that reflect values and that the judgment by appraisers’ are value free from political agendas and personal objectives. Secondly there is the second issue of subjectivity if appraisal ratings where decisions on appra isal are rated by a “political metaphor”(Hartle, 1995).This “political view” argues that a appraisal is often done badly because there is a lack of training for appraisers and appraisers may see the appraisal as a waste of time. This becomes a process which managers have to perform and not as a potential to improve employee performance .Organisations in this context are “political” and the appraisers seek to maintain performance from subordinates and view appraises as internal customers to satisfy. This means managers use appraisal to avoid interpersonal conflict and develop strategies for their own personal advancement and seek a quiet life by avoiding censure from higher managers.This perception means managers also see appraisee seeks good rating and genuine feedback and career development by seeking evidence of combining employee promotion and pay rise.This means appraisal ratings become political judgements and seek to avoid interpersonal conflicts. The approaches of the “test” and “political” metapho rs of appraisal are inaccurate and lack objectivity and judgement ofemployee performance is inaccurate and accuracy is avoided.The issue is how can organisations resolve this lack of objectivity?13.3.1 Solutions to Lack of Objectivity of AppraisalGrin t(1993)argues that the solutions to objectivity lies in part with McGregor’s (1957) classic critique by retraining and removal of “top down” ratings by managers and replacement with multiple rater evaluation which removes bias and the objectivity by upward performance appraisal. The validity of upward appraisal means there moval of subjective appraisal ratings.This approach is also suggested to remove gender bias in appraisal ratings against women in appraisals (Fletcher, 1999). The solution of multiple reporting(internal colleagues, customers and recipients of services) will reduce subjectivity and inequity of appraisal ratings. This argument develops further by the rise in the need to evaluate project teams and increasing levels of teamwork to include peer assessment. The solutions also in theory mean increased closer contact with individual manager and appraises and increasing services linked to customer facing evaluations.However, negative feedback still demotivates and plenty of feedback and explanation by manager who collates feedback rather than judges performance andfail to summarise evaluations.There are however still problems with accuracy of appraisal objectivity asWalker and Smither (1999)5year studyof 252 managers over 5 year period still identified issues with subjective ratings in 360 degree appraisals.There are still issues on the subjectivity of appraisals beyond the areas of lack of training.The contribution of appraisal is strongly related to employee attitudes and strong relationships with job satisfaction(Fletcher and Williams, 1996). The evidence on appraisal still remains positive in terms of reinvigo rating social relationships at work (Townley,1993)and the widespread adoption in large public services in the UK such as the national health Service (NHS)is the valuable contribution to line managers discussion with staff on their past performance, discussing personal development plans and training and development as positive issues.One further concern is the openness of appraisal related to employee reward which we now discuss.13.3.2 Linking Appraisals with Reward ManagementAppraisal and performance management have been inextricably linked to employee reward since the development of strategic human resource management in the 1980s. The early literature on appraisal linked appraisal with employee control (Randell, 1994;Grint, 1993;Townley, 1993, 1999) and discussed the use of performance related reward to appraisals. However therecent literature has substituted the chapter titles employ ee “appraisal” with “performance management”(Bach, 2005; Storey, 2007) and moved the focus on performance and performance pay and the limits of employee appraisal. The appraisal and performance pay link has developed into debates to three key issues:The first issue is has performance pay related to appraisal grown in use?The second issue is what type of performance do we reward?and the final issue is who judges management standards?The first discussion on influences of growth of performance pay schemes is the assumption that increasing linkage between individual effort and financial reward increases performance levels. This linkage between effort and financial reward increasing levels of performance has proved an increasing trend in the public and private sector (Bevan and Thompson, 1992;Armstrong and Baron, 1998). The drive to increase public sector performance effort and setting of targets may even be inconsistent in the experiences of some organizational settings aimed at achieving long-term targets(Kessler and Purcell,1992;Marsden, 2007). The development of merit based pay based on performance assessed by a manager is rising in the UK Marsden (2007)reported that the: Use of performance appraisals as a basis for merit pay are used in65 percent of public sector and 69 percent of the private sector employees where appraisal covered all nonmanagerial staff(p.109).Merit pay has also grown in use as in 1998 20% of workplaces used performance related schemes compared to 32% in the same organizations 2004 (Kersley et al., 2006:191). The achievements of satisfactory ratings or above satisfactory performance averages were used as evidence to reward individual performance ratings in the UK Civil Service (Marsden, 2007).Table 13.2 outlines the extent of merit pay in 2004.The second issue is what forms of performance is rewarded. The use of past appraisal ratings as evidence of achieving merit-related payments linked to achieving higher performance was the predominant factor developed in the public services. The evidence on Setting performance targets have been as Kessler (2000:280) reported “inconsistent within organizations and problematic for certain professional or less skilled occupations where goals have not been easily formulated”. There has been inconclusive evidence from organizations on the impact of performance pay and its effectiveness in improving performance. Evidence from a number of individual performance pay schemes report organizations suspending or reviewing them on the grounds that individual performance reward has produced no effect in performance or even demotivates staff(Kessler, 2000:281).More in-depth studies setting performance goals followed by appraisal on how well they were resulted in loss of motivation whilst maintaining productivity and achieved managers using imposing increased performance standards (Marsden and Richardson, 1994). As Randell(1994) had highlighted earlier, the potential objectivity and self-criticism in appraisal reviews become areas that appraisees refuse to acknowledge as weaknesses with appraisers if this leads to a reduction in their merit pay.Objectivity and self reflection for development becomes a weakness that appraises fail to acknowledge as a developmental issue if it reduces their chances of a reduced evaluation that will reduce their merit reward. The review of civil service merit pay (Makinson, 2000)reported from 4 major UK Civil Service Agencies and the National Health Service concluded that existing forms of performance pay and performance management had failed to motivate many staff.The conclusions were that employees found individual performance pay divisive and led to reduced willingness to co-operate with management ,citing managerial favorites and manipulation of appraisal scores to lower ratings to save paying rewards to staff (Marsden and French, 1998).This has clear implications on the relationship between line managers and appraises and the demotivational consequences and reduced commitment provide clear evidence of the danger to linking individual performance appraisal to reward in the public services. Employees focus on the issues that gain key performance focus by focusing on specific objectives related to key performance indicators rather than all personal objectives. A study of banking performance pay by Lewis(1998)highlighted imposed targets which were unattainable with a range of 20 performance targets with narrow short term financial orientatated goals. The narrow focus on key targets and neglect of other performance aspects leads to tasks not being delivered.This final issue of judging management standards has already highlighted issues of inequity and bias based on gender (Beyer, 1990; Chen and DiTomasio, 1996; Fletcher, 1999). The suggested solutions to resolved Iscrimination have been proposed as enhanced interpersonal skills training are increased equitable use of 360 degree appraisal as a method to evaluate feedback from colleagues asthis reduces the use of the “political metaphor”(Randell, 1994;Fletcher, 1999).On measures linking performance to improvement require a wider approach to enhanced work design and motivation to develop and enhance employee job satisfaction and the design of linkages between effort and performance are significant in the private sector and feedback and awareness in the public sector (Fletcher and Williams, 1996:176). Where rises be in pay were determined by achieving critical rated appraisal objectives, employees are less self critical and open to any developmental needs in a performance review.13.4 ConclusionAs performance appraisal provides a major potential for employee feedback that could link strongly to increasing motivation ,and a opportunity to clarify goals and achieve long term individual performance and career development why does it still suffers from what Randell describes as a muddle and confusion which still surrounds the theory and practice?There are key issues that require resolution and a great deal depends on the extent to which you have a good relationship with your line manager . Barlow(1989)argued `if you get off badly with your first two managers ,you may just as well forget it (p. 515).The evidence on the continued practice of appraisals is that they are still institutionally elaborated systems of management appraisal and development is significant rhetoric in the apparatus of bureaucratic control by managers (Barlow, 1989). In reality the companies create, review, change and even abolish appraisals if they fail to develop and enhance organisational performance(Kessler, 2000). Despite all the criticism and evidence the critics have failed to suggest an alternative for a process that can provide feedback, develop motivation, identify training and potential and evidence that can justify potential career development and justify reward(Hartle, 1997).译文:绩效考核的困境Peter Prowse and Julie Prowse摘要本文旨在用绩效考核方法来解决绩效管理的困境。

This paper will focus on the types of performance assessment and its effect, analyze the types of performance assessment, and explore how to correctly and appropriately assess the performance, and do a good job in management.1.Performance appraisals - purpose and how to make it easierPerformance appraisals are essential for the effective management and evaluation of staff. Appraisals help develop individuals, improve organizational performance, and feed into business planning. Formal performance appraisals are generally conducted annually for all staff in the organization. His or her line manager appraises each staff member. Directors are appraised by the CEO, who is appraised by the chairman or company owners, depending on the size and structure of the organization.Annual performance appraisals enable management and monitoring of standards, agreeing expectations and objectives, and delegation of responsibilities and tasks. Staff performance appraisals also establish individual training needs and enable organizational training needs analysis and planning.Performance appraisals also typically feed into organizational annual pay and grading reviews, which commonly also coincide with the business planning for the next trading year.Performance appraisals generally review each individual's performance against objectives and standards for the trading year, agreed at the previous appraisal meeting. Performance appraisals are also essential for career and succession planning - for individuals, crucial jobs, and for the organization as a whole.Performance appraisals are important for staff motivation, attitude and behaviordevelopment, communicating and aligning individual and organizational aims, and fostering positive relationships between management and staff.Performance appraisals provide a formal, recorded, regular review of an individual's performance, and a plan for future development.Job performance appraisals - in whatever form they take - are therefore vital for managing the performance of people and organizations.Managers and appraises commonly dislike appraisals and try to avoid them. To these people the appraisal is daunting and time-consuming. The process is seen as a difficult administrative chore and emotionally challenging. The annual appraisal is maybe the only time since last year that the two people have sat down together for a meaningful one-to-one discussion. No wonder then that appraisals are stressful - which then defeats the whole purpose.Appraisals are much easier, and especially more relaxed, if the boss meets each of the team members individually and regularly for one-to-one discussion throughout the year.Meaningful regular discussion about work, career, aims, progress, development, hopes and dreams, life, the universe, the TV, common interests, etc., whatever, makes appraisals so much easier because people then know and trust each other - which reduces all the stress and the uncertainty.Put off discussions and of course they loom very large. So don't wait for the annual appraisal to sit down and talk. The boss or the appraises can instigate this.If you are an employee with a shy boss, then take the lead. If you are a boss who rarely sits down and talks with people - or whose people are not used to talking with their boss - then set about relaxing the atmosphere and improving relationships. Appraisals (and work) all tend to be easier when people communicate well and know each other.So sit down together and talk as often as you can, and then when the actual formal appraisals are due everyone will find the whole process to be far more natural, quick, and easy - and a lot more productive too.2.Appraisals, social responsibility and whole-person developmentThere is increasingly a need for performance appraisals of staff and especially managers, directors and CEO's, to include accountabilities relating to corporate responsibility, represented by various converging corporate responsibility concepts including: the “Triple Bottom Line”; corporate social responsibility (CSR); Sustainability; corporate integrity and ethics; Fair Trade, etc. The organization must decide the extent to which these accountabilities are reflected in job responsibilities, which would then naturally feature accordingly in performance appraisals. More about this aspect of responsibility is in the directors’job descriptions section.Significantly also, while this appraisal outline is necessarily a formal structure this does not mean that the development discussed with the appraises must be formal and constrained. In fact the opposite applies. Appraisals must address “whole person”development - not just job skills or the skills required for the next promotion.Appraisals must not discriminate against anyone on the grounds of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability, etc.The UK Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006, (consistent with Europe), effective from 1st October 2006, make it particularly important to avoid any comments, judgments, suggestions, questions or decisions which might be perceived by the appraises to be based on age. This means people who are young as well as old. Age, along with other characteristics stated above, is not a lawful basis for assessing and managing people, unless proper 'objective justification' can be proven. See the Age Diversity information.When designing or planning and conducting appraisals, seek to help the 'whole-person' to grow in whatever direction they want, not just to identify obviously relevant work skills training. Increasingly, the best employers recognize that growing the 'whole person' promotes positive attitudes, advancement, motivation, and also develops lots of new skills that can be surprisingly relevant to working productively and effectively in any sort of organization.Developing the whole-person is also an important aspect of modern corporate responsibility, and separately (if you needed a purely business-driven incentive for adopting these principles), whole-person development is a crucial advantage in theemployment market, in which all employers compete to attract the best recruits, and to retain the best staff.Therefore in appraisals, be creative and imaginative in discussing, discovering and agreeing 'whole-person' development that people will respond to, beyond the usual job skill-set, and incorporate this sort of development into the appraisal process. Abraham Maslow recognized this over fifty years ago.If you are an employee and your employer has yet to embrace or even acknowledge these concepts, do them a favor at your own appraisal and suggest they look at these ideas, or maybe mention it at your exit interview prior to joining a better employer who cares about the people, not just the work.Incidentally the Multiple Intelligences test and V AK Learning Styles test are extremely useful tools for appraisals, before or after, to help people understand their natural potential and strengths and to help managers understand this about their people too. There are a lot of people out there who are in jobs which don't allow them to use and develop their greatest strengths; so the more we can help folk understand their own special potential, and find roles that really fit well, the happier we shall all be.3 .Are performance appraisals still beneficial and appropriateIt is sometimes fashionable in the 'modern age' to dismiss traditional processes such as performance appraisals as being irrelevant or unhelpful. Be very wary however if considering removing appraisals from your own organizational practices. It is likely that the critics of the appraisal process are the people who can't conduct them very well. It's a common human response to want to jettison something that one finds difficult. Appraisals - in whatever form, and there are various - have been a mainstay of management for decades, for good reasons.Think about everything that performance appraisals can achieve and contribute to when they are properly managed, for example:(1)performance measurement - transparent, short, medium and long term(2)clarifying, defining, redefining priorities and objectives(3)motivation through agreeing helpful aims and targets(4)motivation though achievement and feedback(5)training needs and learning desires - assessment and agreement(6)identification of personal strengths and direction - including unused hidden strengths(7)career and succession planning - personal and organizational(8)team roles clarification and team building(9)organizational training needs assessment and analysis(10)appraise and manager mutual awareness, understanding and relationship(11)resolving confusions and misunderstandings(12)reinforcing and cascading organizational philosophies, values, aims, strategies, priorities, etc(13)delegation, additional responsibilities, employee growth and development(14)counseling and feedback(15)manager development - all good managers should be able to conduct appraisals well - it's a fundamental process(16)the list goes onPeople have less and less face-to-face time together these days. Performance appraisals offer a way to protect and manage these valuable face-to-face opportunities. My advice is to hold on to and nurture these situations, and if you are under pressure to replace performance appraisals with some sort of (apparently) more efficient and cost effective methods, be very sure that you can safely cover all the aspects of performance and attitudinal development that a well-run performance appraisals system is naturally designed to achieve.There are various ways of conducting performance appraisals, and ideas change over time as to what are the most effective appraisals methods and systems. Some people advocate traditional appraisals and forms; others prefer 360-degree-type appraisals; others suggest using little more than a blank sheet of paper.In fact performance appraisals of all types are effective if they are conducted properly, and better still if the appraisal process is clearly explained to, agreed by, the people involved.Managers need guidance, training and encouragement in how to conduct appraisals properly. Especially the detractors and the critics. Help anxious managers (and directors) develop and adapt appraisals methods that work for them. Be flexible. There are lots of ways to conduct appraisals, and particularly lots of ways to diffuse apprehension and fear - for managers and appraises alike. Particularly - encourage people to sit down together and review informally and often - this removes much of the pressure for managers and appraises at formal appraisals times. Leaving everything to a single make-or-break discussion once a year is asking for trouble and trepidation.Look out especially for the warning signs of 'negative cascaded attitudes' towards appraisals. This is most often found where a senior manager or director hates conducting appraisals, usually because they are uncomfortable and inexperienced in conducting them. The senior manager/director typically will be heard to say that appraisals don't work and are a waste of time, which for them becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.All that said, performance appraisals that are administered without training (for those who need it), without explanation or consultation, and conducted poorly will be counter-productive and is a waste of everyone's time.Well-prepared and well-conducted performance appraisals provide unique opportunities to help appraise and managers improve and develop, and thereby also the organizations for whom they work.Just like any other process, if performance appraisals aren't working, don't blame the process, ask yourself whether it is being properly trained, explained, agreed and conducted.4. Effective performance appraisalsAside from formal traditional (annual, six-monthly, quarterly, or monthly) performance appraisals, there are many different methods of performance evaluation. The use of any of these methods depends on the purpose of the evaluation, the individual, the assessor, and the environment.The formal annual performance appraisal is generally the over-riding instrument,which gathers together and reviews all other performance data for the previous year.Performance appraisals should be positive experiences. The appraisals process provides the platform for development and motivation, so organizations should foster a feeling that performance appraisals are positive opportunities, in order to get the best out of the people and the process. In certain organizations, performance appraisals are widely regarded as something rather less welcoming ('blocking sessions' is not an unusual description), which provides a basis only on which to develop fear and resentment, so never, never, never use a staff performance appraisal to handle matters of discipline or admonishment, which should instead be handled via separately arranged meetings.5.

LNTU---Acc附录A论企业经营业绩评价系统的构建企业作为盈利性组织,其目标是追求经济效益,企业的经济效益集中体现在经营业绩上。

业绩,也称为效绩,绩效、成效等,反映的是人们从事某一活动所取得的成绩或成果,经营业绩是企业在一定时期内利用其有限的资源从事经营活动取得的成果,表现为企业经营效益和经营者业绩两方面。

《辞海》中对“评价”的解释是:“评定货物的价格、还价。

今也指衡量人物或事物的价值。

”价格是价值的货币表现,评价实际上是一个判定价值的过程,就如《现代汉语词典》中的解释:“评价”是“评定价值高低、评定的价值”,管理活动中的评价是指根据确定的目标来测定对象系统的属性,并将这种属性变为客观定量的价值或者主观效用的行为。

评价作为判定人或事物价值的一种观念性活动,包括确定评价目的、选定评价标准(或评价参照系统),获取评价信息,形成价值判断四个环节。

企业经营业绩评价是指运用科学,规范的评价方法,采用特定的指标体系,对照统一的评价标准,按照一定的程序,进行定量及定性分析,对企业一定经营期间的经营效益和经营者业绩作出真实、客观、公正的综合评判。

它是评价理论方法在经济领域的具体应用,它是在会计学和财务管理的基础上,运用计量经济学原理和现代分析技术而建立起来的剖析企业经营过程,真实反映企业现实经济状况,预测企业未来发展前景的一门科学。

建立和推行企业经营业绩评价制度,科学的评判企业经营成果,有助于正确引导企业经营行为,帮助企业寻找经营差距及产生的原因,提高经济效益。

同时,也为各有关部门对企业实施间接管理,加强宏观调控、制定经济政策和考核企业经营管理者业绩提供依据。

企业经营业绩评价系统的构建与实施必须建立在一定的理论基础之上,符合一定的原则,才能发挥其良好的功能,从而使业绩评价“客观”、“公平”、“合理”。

1企业经营业绩评价系统的理论基础(1) 资本保全理论在市场经济条件下,企业是出资者的企业,是一个资本集合体,所有者是惟一的剩余风险承担者和剩余权益享受者,出资者利益是企业最高利益。

Performance evaluation usually also known as performance appraisal or "performance" is the enterprise borne by each worker in the work of the application of science and qualitative and quantitative methods, workers and the actual results of the enterprise value of the contribution or assessment and evaluation. It is an important corporate personnel management, strong corporate governance is one of the means. The purpose of performance evaluations by each individual assessment improve the efficiency, and eventually realize the goal of enterprise.In the enterprise for performance evaluation work, we need to do a lot of related work. First, the need for performance evaluation of the meaning of scientific explanation, the entire organization of a unified understanding. Performance appraisal is an integral part of modern organizational management tool. It is a periodic review and evaluation of staff performance management system, is in charge of or related personnel to staff the work of the evaluation system. Effective performance appraisal, can not only identify each employee's contribution to the organization or inadequate, but also on the whole of the management of human resources to provide decisive assessment information, so that we can improve organizational feedback function, improve staff performance, but also Motivation, could also serve as a fair and reasonable reward staff basis.Performance appraisal is the sum of a series of related concepts, which include: to the work, performance standards, evaluation, assessment interviews, in-service counselling. Performance Assessment and Application PerformanceTrue performance management system is not just a simple set at the beginning of appraisal standards, and then evaluate the end of the year, but by the beginning of a performance plan for post-job himself clearly in the direction of the efforts in the performance of the ongoing efforts of the year, senior officers provide ongoing guidance and feedback, to help complete the various layers of the target level.Therefore, a performance management system is not just the performance objectives of the completion of the final evaluation, and performance goals should be a whole process of comprehensive management, including performance objectives determined in the implementation of the day-to-day or stage inspection and guidance, feedback, the amendment, the HKEAA , incentives, it is a cyclical cycle process. This cyclical process of the last cycle is a key step is: formulate scientific and rational evaluation methods, performance assessment and appraisal, and the right incentives. Performance Assessment examination usually led by the Human Resources Department is responsible for organizing, coordinating, the relevant departments to coordinate.A performance evaluation(1) PurposeThe actual performance of the past performance and plan for the difference between a formal evaluation to identify ways to improve and enhance the performance of the future.(2) evaluation and assessment content1. Actual performance over the past year review and assessment, including the collection of key performance indicators or targets implementation of the results, and actual results will have set standards for the control and decide the scores level.2. Performance for the next year to develop or adapt key performance indicators, objectives and capacity development plans.3. Determine remuneration adjustments and incentive programme.(3) The results of the implementation of collection1. Human Resources is responsible for organizing from the relevant departments or units to meet.2. The objective of the examination, during examination should be done prior to the meeting and some of the preparatory work, the performance of the officers concerned to collect specific implementation of the various aspects related to listen to the feedback: that the subordinate staff of the internal and external customer feedback. Relevant text files, data information, you recall peacetime observation. And the actual performance of individual employees and conduct performance and capacity than the clear understanding, and preliminary assessment of the performance of staff, Score-level performance and capacity situation. Arrangements for a performance discussion with the staff and meeting time, subordinate to the message: You attach great importance to this meeting.3. For the staff: staff must be assessed prior to the meeting that the agenda for the meeting. Notice two weeks ago and the best in him to get to know the purpose of the meeting, some of the staff had completed its preparations for the performance of prior information and self-assessment.(4) Calculation of individual performance scoresTo enable employees work performance among comparable to the effective implementation of incentive, the commonly used performance percentile calculation method to assess the performance of individual employees completion. Individual performance score is calculated as follows: Individual performance scores = ∑ (KPIi performance percentile × KPIi weight) × KPI total weight + ∑ (target completion percentile × weight) × objective of the total weight(5) individual performance feedbackAfter the annual evaluation, the results should be the timely performance feedback to be evaluated, in the assessment of people have no objection to the circumstances, with the incentive for individuals linked. Who has been assessed objections, the companies can appeal the appeals process.The same as the mid-term review, performance assessment can be conducted to discuss the performance feedback.(6) Performance Evaluation discussion1. Stressed that the purpose of performance evaluation and the meeting will discuss the agendaSet a relaxed atmosphere for the discussion on Performance Evaluation main purpose is to explore how to improve future performance. Reaffirming the importance of participation by staff. Itemized on the completion of targets or goals. In both preparations, the plans and performance evaluation form included in the targets or goals for the article-by-article discussions on the situation, subordinate to each indicator or target for a summary. Share your observation of their performance. No need to be discussed specific details but rather on the results of a highlight goal to reach or exceed the situation.2. Itemized assessment scores levelOn the list of all key performance indicators or targets itemized effect of the completion of discussions, the first to subordinate their key performance indicators or targets in accordance with the completion of standards for measuring scores level, do you think that those more suitable Score - to discuss those differences do you think there are scores level, and review of performance to find the facts, focus on performance rather than the facts themselves, access to the scores of consensus. If the preliminary goals and measurable indicators of a clear, in their daily work and ongoing guidance and tracking of medium-term, comprehensive performance assessment meeting acknowledged the difficulty can be reduced significantly, because they are not the results are particularly surprised.3. Performance for diagnosisIn the assessment of those who completed better performance indicators and targets as well as those who have not completed the targets and goals of the reasons for analysis, in what some staff shown consistent patterns of behaviour to obtain certain strengths or weaknesses led to a certain? What if we adopt a different approach may achieve our goals or standards?4. Discuss improvement planTold the staff and the total score after the personal performance evaluation scores. Asked to maintain good performance, can be taken to resolve issues related to the programme of action. Records of these action programmes for the development of annual performance plans standby. Formulatecorresponding area of capacity development, concrete actions and the desired results.5. Higher-level managers reviewedManagers at all levels will be the performance of its staff assessment results reported to the higher authorities, managers reviewed, the higher their managers for performance evaluation and assessment of the views of the two sides that the final assessment resultsSecond, the results of performancePerformance management and reward must be linked to incentive mechanisms can reflect its value. According to the staff performance appraisal results determine a reasonable pay incentives, performance appraisal is to ensure that the principal means of incentives and the core problem. In the design of the performance management system at the same time, we are also in accordance with their own characteristics for the synchronous design staff at all levels of the performance-related pay system.Performance results will be used normally as follows:1. Promotion wage (because of the specific situation in the promotion case may be)2. Performance bonuses determined (specifically identified because of the way the case may be)3. Career developmentPerformance Management is the ultimate goal of improving productivity and efficiency, through the success of each employee contributed to the success of enterprises. When staff performance evaluation scores of lower-level, we should discuss how to improve the performance required for the completion of the ability to improve performance and develop a plan of action. According to the results of performance assessment, in conjunction with other assessment, identifying outstanding performance, good quality, excellent innovation capability of managers and staff through job rotation, special training, etc., from the quality and the ability to conduct a comprehensive training, adjustments in the team added officers, to give priority to be promoted. At the same time, through the comparison of the results of performance assessment, analysis, evaluation was to identify the quality of representation and the gap between positions, in accordance with company management policy andlong-term development strategy for the management requirements, design and implementation of targeted training and timely improving management capacity and level.For those who can not meet the required performance, capacity is not significantly improve the staff to consider whether there are other suitable positions better than the original position to play its role. Through the careerdevelopment of employees, performance, the ability to work or personal behaviour and the career prospects of staff link to each other, thereby strengthening the ability to improve performance and the awareness of all the staff to improve the ability to complete performance targets. Also the human cost to the performance of transformation, the transformation of human capital to be specific implementation.In order to better the performance of the different performance management, talent can refer to the following matrix model.Table 7: talent Matrix ModelAnd the potential for high capacityInLowMedium outstanding qualified failurePerformance4. Other incentivesImplementation of pay linked to performance, although the performance of the staff to upgrade the level of better incentives, and is also a major incentive. But it is undeniable their own, there are also some limitations, but because of organizational factors, environmental factors and personal factors also caused a fixed wage increases and incentive bonuses specific operational difficulty and complexity of these problems are properly resolved, will be detrimental to performance incentives incentives.In actual operation should be actively avoid these negative factors can be considered in a larger scope reward and incentive approach. The realization of growth in wages and performance bonuses for major awards and incentives, with other incentives, and to reward with a continuous policy framework, and give full play to the potential role of other incentives, can be used to make up for the performance of wages restrictive role. Below other incentives for a brief description:To master the different forms of incentives, as well as the effect of different incentives, is the first step in the implementation of effective incentives. In the broad perspective, the incentives can be divided into two categories:One is external incentives. Including wage increases, performance bonuses and other rewards the nature of incentives, such as job promotion, training opportunities, study tour, tourist resort, from the high-level recognition and commendation.The second category is intrinsic reward. Including its own staff of the incentives (such as a sense of achievement), welfare, conferred the honorarytitle given challenging responsibilities, important and meaningful work, set goals and make decisions, such as the influence.These stresses in the form of incentives, according to different types, different locations, as well as staff time needs of different incentives for different incentives, real incentives to achieve this purpose it is necessary to make things right incentives, rewards employees have liked things that we should follow the implementation of incentive when one of the principles. Another incentive should also be in the grasp of achievement should not be confined to the understanding of the best employees; incentives to specific, and timely.Third, performance plans to amendThe company's strategic direction or will be the focus of the company each year with the different stages of development of the company or outside competition to the changing situation to be adjusted accordingly, the level of departments or work of staff of the target will be adjusted accordingly. Upon completion of performance appraisal, in a wide range of listening to the views of various parties on the basis of performance management should be on the practice of concluding a comprehensive analysis of concrete from the following considerations:1. Performance Performance Assessment Scheme content (including key performance indicators, setting objectives)Identify the most successful part of what? What is the most difficult operation? What is not meaningful? Targets adjustment will be reflected in the major work activities or key regional results. In addition, even if the work is the same or similar activities as the key to regional results, but also because of the completion of the outcome of the capacity of regional or external factors and other factors to be adjusted accordingly, and this adjustment will be reflected in the measurement standards.2. Performance Plan target (including key performance indicators and challenges of the goal indicators indicators, as well as the completion of targets set standards)According to actual performance compared with the objectives to determine whether the targets set reasonable value, and the next year the value of performance indicators defined plan will provide experience and guidance. 3. Performance guidance and enhanced methods and performance evaluation and reporting methods.On guidance and assessment methods to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the test, remove unreasonable factors, and the amendment. In a comprehensive summation of the basis of the analysis, according to the company's new business development plan and the annual operating budget objectives, and revised performance plan to the next round of the operating performance plan.。
