INTRODUCTION
Periodic assessment and evaluation is vital for the growth of any business.
Performance appraisal one of such tool to measure the performance of employee.
Performance appraisal is mainly used to determine the wage increase,
promotions, transfers and layoffs, termination of services and training and development
to the employee in the organization. It serves as a tool to determine the future of the
organization and visualize the career growth of the employees.
Performance appraisal is normally done by senior executives and the
managers in the organization to apprise the employee of their performance and also to
find out their performance and also to find out their difficulties while meeting their goals.
During this period of carrying out the process, the appraiser faces problem in rating the
subordinate/employees/peers and sometimes he may rate his subordinates wrongly, which
will block the whole purpose of the appraisal.
NOTES ON THE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
The performance of organization depends on the effective utilization ofthe resource of 4Ms (Man space & buildings, raw materials, Plant and machinery &
money). Man is the most important resources for effective utilization of other resources
using their skills, knowledge and ability to perform.
People are key to our business success and their performance and moral
are related to effectiveness of leadership. Every organization, therefore, strives for greater
productivity, elimination of waste, lower costs and higher wages. The organization where
management leadership is effective, achieves better performance. If the leader is poor, it
will result in poor organization performance.
In any organization there is some sort of evaluation of the employees
and subordinates.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
An employee performance appraisal is a systematic, orderly and
objective method of evaluating the present and potential usefulness of the employee to
the organization.
A good appraisal program would enable the management to introduce a highly
systematic measurement of an individuals contribution to the organizational
effectiveness. It is equally essential to measure group performance, as a success of an
organization depends upon the effectiveness of the teamwork.
Performance appraisal provides a systematic basis for assessment of employee
contribution and distribution of economic rewards. Modern appraisal philosophy focuses
on performance, objective and goal setting.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology is a systematic and objective process of identifying
and formulating the problem by setting objective and methods and the methods for collecting,
editing, tabulating, evaluating, analyzing, interpreting and presenting data in order to find
justified solution.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A Research Design is a purely and simply the framework or plan for a study that
guides the collection and analysis of data. It is a blue print that is followed in completing a
study.
The research design undertaken by the researcher is descriptive research design. The
methodology involved in this design is mostly qualitative in nature. Descriptive research
design is concerned with the research studies with a focus on the portrayal of the
characteristics of a group or individual or a situation. The main objective of such studies is to
acquire knowledge. Similarly, such studies are used to examine the characteristics of the
corporate sector or consumer behavior etc., the descriptive study is typically concerned with
determining frequency with which something occurs or how two variables vary together.
SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION
Data refers to the information or facts. Often researchers understand by data only numerical
figures. It also includes descriptive facts, non-numerical information, qualitative and
qualitative information. The source of data can be from primary and Secondary.
Primary Data

Primary data are those data, which are collected as fresh and for the just time and thus happen
to be original primary data for this study was collected by preparing a well-structured
questionnaire.
Method of Sampling
There are many sample methods to collect data. The sampling method used is simple
random sampling.
Sample Size:
The Sample constituted of 60 workers from different department of the organizations.
Survey Design:
The survey is based on the primary source of data. Three methods of primary
data were selected to conduct the study i.e., Questionnaire, Observation and Personal
Interviews methods. Since the statements in the Questionnaire and Schedule were
qualitative, they are quantified on a five-point Scale using Linker type technique.
Respondents are asked to tick mark the appropriate scope on a five-point continuum.
STATISTICAL TOOLS FOR THE STUDY
Sample Analysis By Percentage (%)Method
% refers to a special kind of ratio. % is used in making comparison between two
or more serried of data, % are used to describe relationship. It can be used to compare therelative terms, the distribution of two or more series of data.

These objectives are appropriate as long as approach in the appraisal is focused on the
individual.
ESTABLISH JOB EXPECTATIONS:
Includes informing the employees what is expected of him/her on
the job. Normally a discursion is held with his/her superior to review the major duties
contained in the job description. Individuals should not be expected to begin unstill they
understand what is expected of them.
DESIGN JOB EXPECTATIONS:
Designing an appraisal program poses several questions that need answers.
They are
a) Formal vs. informal appraisal.
b) Whose performance is to be assessed?
c) Who are the raters?
d) What problems are encountered?
e) How to solve the problem?
f) What should be evaluated?
g) When to evaluate?
h) What methods of appraisal are to be used?

WHAT SHOULD BE RATED?
Six criteria for assessing performance are:
1. QUALITY
2. QUANTITY
3. TIMELINESS
4. COST-EFFECTIVENESS
5. NEED FOR A SUPERVISION
6. INTERPERSONAL IMPACT
TIMING OF EVALUATION:
How often should an employee be assessed? The general trend is to evaluate
once in 3 months or 6 months or once in a year. According to survey conducted in 1997
by Author Anderson, 70% of the organization conduct performance appraisal once a year.

D. ASSESSMENT CENTERS
PAST-ORIENTED METHODS:
RATING SCALE:
This is the simplest and most popular technique of appraising employees
performance. The typical rating scale system consists of several numerical scales, each
representing a job related performance criterion such as dependability, initiation, output,
attendance, attitude, co-operation and the like. Each scale ranges from excellent to poor.
The rater checks the appropriate performance level on each criterion, and then computes
the employees to total numerical score. The number of points scored may be linked
salary increases, where by so many points equal a rise of some percentage.
Rating scaled offers the advantages of adaptability, relatively easy use and low cost.
The disadvantages of this method are several. The raters biases are likely to
influence evaluation, and the biases are particularly pronounced on subjective criteria
such as co-operation, attitude and initiative.
CHECK LIST METHOD
Under this method, a check list of statements on the traits of the employee and
his /her job is prepared in 2 columns-viz, a Yes column and a No column. All that the
rater should do is to tick the Yes column if the answer to the statement is positive and in
the column No if the answer is negative.
FORCED CHOICE METHOD:
KKC INSTITUTE OF PG STUDIES 17
8/6/2019 Final Report 72
18/57
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
In this the rate is given a series of statements about an employee.
These statements are arranged in a block of two or more, and rather indicate, which
statement is more or least descriptive of the employee.
FORCED DISTRIBUTION METHOD:
The forced distribution method seeks to over come the problems by
compelling the rates on all points on the rating scale. The method operates under an
assumption that employee performance level conforms to a normal statistical distribution.
Generally it is assumed that the employee performance levels conform to a bell shaped
curve.
CRITICAL INCIDENTS METHOD:
The critical incident method of employee assessment has generated a
lot of interest these days. The approach focuses on behavior of employees that makes all
the difference between effective and non-effective performance of job. Such incidences
are recorded by superiors as and when they occur.
BEHAVIOURALLY ANCHORED RATING SCALE (BAR):
Behaviorally anchored scales, sometimes called behavioral expectationscales, are rating scales whose scale points are determined by statements of effective and
in-effective behaviors. They are said to be behaviorally anchored in that the scale
represent a range of descriptive statements of behavior varying from least to most
effective. BAR has following features:
1. Areas of performance to be evaluated are identified and defined by the people
who will use the scale.
2. The scales are anchored by descriptions of actual job behavior that, supervisors
agree, represent specific level of performance. The result is a set of rating scale in
which both dimensions and anchors are precisely defined.
KKC INSTITUTE OF PG STUDIES 18
8/6/2019 Final Report 72
19/57
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
3. All dimensions of performance to be evaluated are based on observable behaviors
and are relevant to the job being evaluated since BARS are tailor-made for the
job.
4. Since the raters who will actually scale are actively involved in the development
process, they are more likely to be committed to final product.
FIELD REVIEW METHOD:
This is an appraisal by someone outside the accesss own department,
usually someone from the corporate office or the HR department. The outsider reviews
employee records and holds interviews with the rate and his or her superior. The method
is primarily used for making promotional decision at the managerial level; field reviews
are also useful when comparable information is needed from employees in different units
or locations.
PERFORMANCE TEST AND OBSERVATIONS:
With a limited number of jobs, employee assessment may be based upon a test of
knowledge or skills. The test may be of the paper and pencil variety or an actual
demonstration of skills. The test must be reliable and validated to be useful.
COFIDENTIAL RECORDS:
Confidential records are maintained only in government departments, though its
application in the industry is not ruled out. The system is highly secretive and
confidential. Feedback to the assesses was given only incase of an adverse entry.
ESSAY METHOD:
KKC INSTITUTE OF PG STUDIES 19
8/6/2019 Final Report 72
20/57
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
In the essay method, the rater must describe the employee within a number of
board categories such as
The raters overall impression of the employees performance,
The promo ability of the employee,
The jobs that the employee is now able or qualified to perform,
The strengths and weakness of employee and
The training and the development assistance required by the employee. Although
this method is being used independently, it is most frequently found is combination
with others. It is extremely useful for filling information gaps about the employees
that often occur in the best structured checklist method.
This is the traditional method in which appraises the rate in an open-ended
manner and uses a free-form in his own words and puts down his impressions about the
employee.
They take note about these factors:
a) Job knowledge and potentials.
b) Employees characteristics and attitude.
c) General organization and planning attitude.
d) Understanding of companys policies and procedures and its
application.
e) Production or quantity, quality and cost control.
f) Physical conditions.
g) Development needs of future.
COST ACCOUNTING METHOD:
This method evaluates performance from the monitory returns the employee
yields to his or her organization. A relationship established between the cost included in
keeping the employees and the benefits the organization derives from him or her.
Performance of the employee is then evaluated based on the established relationship
between the cost and the benefits.

COMPARITIVE EVALUATION APPROACHS:
This method evaluates performance from the monetary returns the
employee yields to his or her organization. A relationship is established between the costincluded in keeping the employee and the benefit the organization derives from his or her.
Performance of the employee is then evaluated based on the established relationship
between the cost and the benefit.
FUTURE ORIENTED APPRAISAL:
The commonly used future oriented technique is MBO, psychological
appraisal &assessment centers.
Management by objectives:
Management by objectives is a technique used by managers in some organizations
to motivate employees to perform well by using the goal-setting technique.
Objectives of MBO:
To identify the problems and opportunities in the business.To convert identified opportunities in to clear goals.
To set up a system to convert these goals into achievements.
To set a standard of performance.
To raise a standard of performance.
To set a new target where the existing ones have proved unrealistic.
To achieve something in particular.
8) To innovate.
9) To develop the individual.
To cash in on unforeseen circumstances.
To clarify the policies and systems to accomplish the objectives.
To implement the new policy.

13) To review the organization in the light of units objectives. To ensure
that the managers idea of the nature of the job is in line with the organizations
overall profit plan.
Psychological appraisal:
Large organizations employ full time industrial psychologist, when
psychologists are used for evaluations; they assess an individuals future potential and not
performance. The appraisal normally consists of in depth interviews, psychological tests,
discussions with supervisors and a review of other evaluations. The psychologist may be
for a specific job opening for which the person is being considered, or it may be a global
assessment of his or her future potential.
Assessment center:
Mainly used for executive hiring, assessment centers are now beginning
used for evaluating executive or supervisory potential. An Assessment centers are a
central location where managers may come together to have their participation in job-
related exercises evaluated by trained observers. The principal idea is to evaluate
managers over a period of time, say one to three days, by observing(and later evaluating)
their behavior across a series of select exercises or work samples.
360-degree feedback:
The performance evaluation technique by multiple raters is called 360-
degree appraisal. The 360-degree technique is understood as systematic collection of
performance data on an individual or group, derived from a number of stakeholders- the
stakeholders being the immediate supervisors, team members, customers, peers, and self.
In fact, anyone who has useful information on how an employee does the job may be
one of the appraisers.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
The 360-degree appraisal provides a broader perspective about an
employees performance. In addition, the technique facilitates greater self-development
of the employees.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY AND PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
Performance appraisal system has strategic importance to a firm in three ways:
Feed back mechanism.
Consistency between organizational strategy and job behavior and
Consistency between organizational values and job behavior.
Feed back Mechanism:
An organization seeks to do three fundamental tasks.
1. Design jobs and work system to accomplish organizational goals;
2. Hire individuals with capabilities to discharge the jobs effectively; and
3. Train, motivate and remunerate employees for their performance and
productivity.
Performance evaluation is the central mechanism that not only provides feedback to
individuals, but also aids in the assessment of the program of the organization as whole.
Without a performance appraisal system, managers of any firm can only guess as or not
employees are working towards realization of the organization goals.
Consistency between organizational strategy and behavior:
An organization needs a strategy consistent with the behavior of its
employees if it were to realize its goals. A truism of organizational life is that people
engage themselves in behaviors that they perceive will be rewarded. As employees want
to be reward, they tend to occupy themselves more with those activities which the
KKC INSTITUTE OF PG STUDIES 23
8/6/2019 Final Report 72
24/57
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
organization emphasized. For example, if the focus is on service, employees will behave
in ways that will help them in gaining the reward associated with service delivery. If the
focus is on cost control, employees will seek to control cost and thus be recognized and
rewarded. If the focus is on rewarding Productivity, employees will strive for
productivity.
COUNSELLING:
Counseling is a discussion of a problem that usually has emotional content
with an employee in order to help the employee cope with it better. Its goal is better
mental health and it is performed both by managers and professional counselors. The
major counseling functions are advice reassurance communication, release of emotional
tension, clarified thinking and reorientation.
Characteristics of counseling:
o Requires two people, a counselor and counselee.
o Is an act of communication?
o Helps employee cope.
o Reduces employee problems and emotional upsets.
o Improves organizational performance.
o Helps organization to be more humanly and considerate.
o Performed by both professionally and nonprofessionally.
o Involves both job and personal problems.
o Is confidential and private.
Advice: counselors often give advice to counselees in order to guide them towards
desired courses of action.
KKC INSTITUTE OF PG STUDIES 24
8/6/2019 Final Report 72

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Reassurance: The counseling experience often provides employees with reassurance,
which is confidence that they are following a suitable course of action and have the
courage to carry it out.
Communication: Counseling is communication experience. It initiates upward
communication to management and also gives the counselor an opportunity to interpret
management problems and give work insights to employees.
IMPROVING APPRAISAL SYSTEM:
The following suggestions might lead to a performance appraisal process:
1. Ensure that all employees are subjected to evaluate (from the president/manager down)
2. People in the organization will feel more committed to the performance evaluation
process. If the supervisors who do the appraisal will also be judged.
3. The appraisals ought to be spread through out the year.
4. Supervisors faced with a pile of appraisals at any one period of time will feel
overwhelmed and will not do a good job if they are hurried.
5. Legal considerations and confidentiality must be considered.
6. Politics with respect to where the appraisal will be kept and who has access to the must
be implement.
7. Self evaluation should be encouraged as part of the process.
8. This procedure may invite disagreement.
9. Most people rate them selves the same or lower than their manager will.
10. Another benefit is that managers frequently dont know all lthat required getting the jobdone the manager thus learns more about the organization by reading the employees self
appraisal form.
11. Have peers conduct reciprocal reviews.
12. Have subordinate evaluate their supervisors.
13. Establish a clear relationship between salary increments and performance appraisals.
KKC INSTITUTE OF PG STUDIES 25
8/6/2019 Final Report 72

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
14. Establish a policy to determine how much of the review will be based of personal
observation and interaction and how much will they rely on input review from others.
15. Make sure all the employees are aware of this policy.
16. Publicize which performance appraisal methodology you intend to use.
17. Consider using external sources of information-customers/clients etc
18. Use performance appraisal as a chance to clarify or communicate the intention of the
employees.
BENEFITS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL FOR TYPICAL EXECUTIVES:
The system should provide employee with an opportunity to receive feedback
regarding their performance usually once in a year. This leads to reduced error and
waste, increased production improved quality, and service for growth, and employee
motivation, commitment and since of ownership.
The system provides an opportunity for performance related discussion thatincludes the following aims:
Setting objective of employees
Aliening individual and organizational goals,
Identifying training and development needs,
Discussing career progression opportunities.
