Higher degree of transparency, uniformity and process efficiency.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research plan:
The research plan is done with the primary objective of finding out the management of
Performance appraisal at IOCL,Digboi Refinery. Thus a detailed study of the performance
appraisal of the employees at IOCL and its impact is very important to get the proper insights,
which is vital for the development of the research instrument which is to be undertaken during
the study. All the relevant information has been collected through questionnaire and
observation.

Sampling procedure:
The sampling Unit would include the employees of Digboi Refinery.
The sampling technique to be used in the survey will be simple random sampling, because
the population is homogeneous and a particular sampling frame is available for the researchprocess.
Limitations:
The study suffers from time constrain as it is completed within the short time span of
forty-five days.
There was a dearth of free time in the hand of employees. As such carrying out a
survey and getting the questionnaires filled correctly on time was a real hard desk.
As the organization is always in operational state as per its busy schedule, so the
employees get very less time to express their views.
The feedback given by the various employees is based on their experiences and
perceptions and may suffer from some biasness.
Most of the respondents refused to divulge details regarding their designation and this
created a problem as the data could not be analyzed with respect to this particular
variable.
MAJOR FINDINGS:
From the survey on the topic Performance Management System at IOCL, i have
found that the overall performance system of IOCL is beneficial for its officers.
The performance of employees in IOCL is evaluated perfectly with a valid and effective
performance appraisal system and this increase the work efficiency of the employees
leading to accomplishment of organizational goal.
From the study, it is found that E-PMS is the annual performance plan to be prepared
by employee before start of the year and rating will be done at the end of the year
based on performance. Also it gives the total rating by supervisor after completion of
E-PMS by CSA.
RECOMMENDATION:
Indian Oil is an organization which believes in team work. However the E-PMS
appraisal is an individualistic appraisal which does not cater too much about team work.
This area where the team work is concerned- needs to be incorporated. From the study it
is also suggested that the present E-PMS system should not be person specific and should
be above individual influences.

Every employee has a set of Mandatory KRAs depending upon his Role profile.
Every employee and his Appraiser will select KRAs and KPIs for the performance year
based on the role profile. Provision exists to define up to 6 special KRAs with KPIs toaccommodate specific situations. Maximum 12 KRAs are allowed.
They will then assign weightages and set targets for each KPI based on the
Units/Departments targets.
Appraiser will assign Stretch to Targets depending on their degree of difficulty.
The selection of KPIs, weightages, targets and their stretch will be reviewed and
approved by the Reviewer to complete Planning Phase
Provision exists to edit the performance plan in case of significant changes in businessplans or roles (transfers, new responsibilities etc.) with the approval of Appraiser and
reviewer.
KEY ROLE AREA:
Performance in E-PMS is based upon Key role area (KRAs) Competencies, Values and
Potential. The achievement against each of these will together constitute the Appraises
performance.
KRAs are identified areas of performance that support the organization's goals that are to
be accomplished during the year. Each KRA is accompanied by one or more KPIs. Some of theKRAs from each unique role are marked mandatory based on organizational alignment to ensure
consistency in assessment of Appraisees performance.
Competencies are knowledge, skills and abilities described in behavioral terms that are
coachable, observable, measurable, and critical to successful performance.
Values are statements that express Indian Oils ethical commitments and guiding
principles which are timeless and will stand the test of time, market forces and management
practices, an on upholding of which individuals are assessed.
Potential includes the critical attributes which do not get covered in competencies and
reflect an individuals capacity to shoulder higher responsibility.

Three dimensions of KRA:
Conclusion:
E-PMS is a vast and old method that is used to evaluate the performance
appraisal of officers. In E-PMS the appraiser is in direct contact with the appraise.
Therefore the appraiser ensure that adequate time is spent in the performance planning
phase and provide prompt and timely feedback on performance. The appraiser tries and
resolves all issues at his/her level towards a win-win solution. In E-PMS reviewer is the
final authority in the most crucial phase of performance appraisal management- planning
phase. The role of a reviewer assumes greater significance. Reviewer is required to
resolve disputes that may be escalated to employees; however he/she may encourage
appraise and appraiser to resolve these among themselves.

ii. 360 degree feedback appraisal:
360 degree feedback appraisal, also known as multi-rater feedback, multi source
feedback, or multi source assessment, is feedback that comes from members of an employee's
immediate work circle. It is a well known practice that completes the evaluation of performance

and customers is called 360 Degree Appraisal. Here, the performance of the employee or
manager is evaluated by six parties, including himself/herself. So, he/she gets a feedback of his
/her performance from everyone around him/her. This method is very reliable because
evaluation is done by many different parties. These parties are in the best position to evaluate
the employee or manager because they are continuously interacting and working with him. This
method is mostly used to evaluate the performance of the employees
However, it is also used to evaluate other qualities such as talents, behavior, values,
ethical standards, tempers, loyalty, etc.

CHAPTER VIII
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
From the study it was found that the employees lacked in communication skills, so
the organization can give special training on soft skills to the employees.
Findings show that only confidential type of performance appraisal system is
followed widely. Open system of performance appraisal can also be followed.
Only two type of training programme like group discussion and training related to their
specific job is given. Knowledge about ethics and interpersonal relationship should be
introduced.
Senior management should continually review the appraisal conducted, which shall be
seen as positive support to the system by the appraiser as well as appraises, and their interest
will be maintained.
Indian Oil is an organization which believes in team work. However the E-PMS appraisal
is an individualistic appraisal which does not cater too much about team work. This area where
the team work is concerned- needs to be incorporated. From the study it is also suggested that
the present E-PMS system should not be person specific and should be above individual
influences.
Some officers suggested 36o degree appraisal as the best appraisal as a person should be
appraised both as a team worker by his/her senior and as a leader by his/her juniors. This will
show his/her nature in totality.
