What is Performance?
• Performance is determined by three factors:
1. Effort: how hard a person works
2. Ability: how capable the person is
3. Direction: how well the person understands what is expected on the job
• Performance should be evaluated on results achieved not effort expended
• Performance may be affected by working conditions outside the employee’s control

Job Description and Job Specification
• These are two of the best means for enhancing employee direction
1. A job description states the characteristics of a job and the types of work required
2. A job specification gives the qualifications necessary to perform the job, including experience, training, education, knowledge, skills, and abilities

Frequency of Performance Appraisals
• Appraisals should be done as frequently as necessary to let employees know how they are doing
• Many organizations require formal appraisals at least once a year
• Supervisors should do at least two or three reviews each year in addition to the formal annual performance appraisal
• New employees or those being retrained need more frequent appraisals
![Page 11: CHAPTER. Supervisión y controlM. En C. Eduardo Bustos Farías2 What is Performance? Performance is determined by three factors: 1. Effort: how hard a person.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649f205503460f94c391f0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Supervisor Biases in Performance Appraisals
• Supervisors who rate everyone near the high end or group
everyone in the middle make it difficult to distinguish good
performers from poor performers and make it difficult to
compare ratings between different raters
• The halo effect occurs when supervisors allow a single
prominent characteristic of an employee to influence their
judgment on each of the items in the performance appraisal
• Personal preferences and prejudices can cause error in
performance appraisals
