Performance Management• Performance Management (PM) is far more
than appraisal. In the broadest sense, it's about translating goals to results.
• PM focuses not only on individual employees, but also on teams, programs, processes and the organization as a whole.
PM should have a long-term perspective, emphasizing
employee development and process improvement
There are two types of organizational performance management that includes:
intra-organizationaland
extra-organizational
“The key purpose of organizational PM is to introduce systematic controls in the management process to guide and regulate the activities of an organization, by means of management judgment, decision and action for the purposes of attaining agreed objectives”
Controls can be either strategic or operational
Three forms of organizational control:1. Pre-control (planning);2. Concurrent control (monitoring); and3. Post control (review, evaluation and reporting)
• In the public sector, results are mission-focused.
• It is more challenging for public agencies to define and measure results than private sector organizations.
• Public agencies are required to comply with complex rules and regulations that govern their performance management and other human resources programs.
