 ABSTRACT

In every organization various factors like promotion, training & development

program, incentives, rewards and various other factors are considered and given based on

their performance. So for this almost all the organizations conduct Performance Appraisal for

the employees.

Performance appraisal is the important tool to assess the performance of the employee

in the organization starting from small organization to large organization. Inefficient

performance appraisal system will directly or indirectly affects the functioning of the

organization’s objectives. This induced me to conduct a study on performance appraisal

system which is considered to be very vital for the success or decline of any organization.

The study is carried out in Puducherry. The duration of the study is one month .The

population is 250 with the sample size of 50.

This study includes various objectives like, to understand performance appraisal

system practiced in the organization, to know the employees awareness, and their satisfaction

level about performance appraisal system in the organization and it includes various scope

and limitation.

For this study questionnaire method is followed to collect the data and the research

design is descriptive.

The collected data are tabulated and analyzed using various statistical tools. With the

help of the tabulation various findings are given with some suggestions and recommendations

then the project is finally concluded.

 1.8 Introduction to the study

The most valuable asset for a company is its people. Whist all other assets depreciate

over a period of time, people as an asset appreciate over a period of time. Longer a person has

been with a company; greater is his value in terms of experience & contribution, and

therefore, his price.

An organization’s goals can be achieved only when people put in their best efforts.

How to ascertain whether an employee has shown his or her best performance on a given job?

The answer is performance appraisal.

 CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Performance Appraisal - Definition

“The overall objective of performance appraisal is to improve the efficiency of an

enterprise by attempting to mobilize the best possible efforts from individuals employed in it.
Such appraisals achieve four objectives including the salary reviews, the development and
training of individuals, planning job rotation and assistance promotions”.
-CUMMINGS

“Performance Appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an impartial rating of an employee’s

excellence in matters pertaining to his present job and his potential for a better job”
-FLIPPO

2.2 Characteristics of Performance Appraisal

The main characteristics of performance appraisal are as follows.

 Performance appraisal is a process consisting of a series of steps.

 It is the systematic examination of an employee’s strengths and weaknesses in
terms of the job.
 Performance appraisal is a scientific or objective study.
 It is an ongoing or continuous process wherein the evaluations are arranged
periodically according to a definite plan.
 The main purpose of performance appraisal is to secure information necessary for
making objective and decisions on employees.
2.3 Advantages of Performance Appraisal

1. It provides information for making and enforcing decisions about promotions, pay

increases, lay off transfers.

2. It serves to guide employee development.

3. It puts a psychological pressure on people to improve performance on the job.

4. It serves to maintain fair relationships in groups.

5. It makes executives more observant of their subordinates.

6. It serves as a means for evaluating the effectiveness of devices used for the selection

and classification of workers.

7. Wage increase may be justified.

8. Deficiencies and shortcoming may be removed.

9. Employee may also introspect himself in the light of performance.

2.4 Factors Affecting Performance Appraisal Systems

Performance appraisal programs are affected by some factors. Therefore for

implementing good appraisal systems the following are necessary.

1. It should be easily understandable. The forms, which are more difficult to read and
understand, are not effective performance appraisal systems.

2. The appraisal programs must have support of all line people who administer it. If line
people think it is too theoretical, too ambitious, and too unrealistic or that it has been
foisted on them by ivory – tower staff consultants who have no comprehension of the
demands on the time of the line operator.
 3. The appraisal system should fit the organizational operations and structure the form
constructed and the factors framed should be suitable for the organizational culture
and structure.

4. The appraisal system should be valid and reliable.

5. The performance appraisal programs should have built in incentives.

6. The appraisal form should be periodically evaluated to ensure that it meets its purpose

2.5 Steps of Performance Appraisal

Establishing standards of performance

Communicating performance appraisal

Measuring actual performance

Comparing actual performance with standard laid

Discussion of appraisal with employees

Corrective actions
2.6 The Way Forward Process

Performance appraisal

Rewarding
Performance Competencies Career development
& Successions
Planning

Training &
Development

It is essential that every employee enjoy the benefit of looking at his

performance appraisal at least once in a year. A manager should analyze the performance of
the employees objectively against the set standards. It is desirable for the manager to meet and
discuss with the employees about the appraisal process before writing as it fosters mutual
understanding of the process and to that extent it enhances the employees’ acceptance of the
outcome.

2.7 Performance Appraisal System Attributes: Clarity, Openness, and Fairness

The performance appraisal system must possess the attributes of clarity, openness, and
fairness. These attributes are related to the historic values of the student affairs profession.
While specific implementation of these attributes may vary, the following should be
represented in effective performance appraisal:

2.7.1 Ongoing Review of Position and Performance - Effective performance

appraisal systems conduct ongoing evaluations of both the position and the staff member
occupying it. With ongoing position analysis and performance appraisal, there are few
surprises, and changes in the environment are quickly incorporated into the official appraisal
system.

2.7.2 Job Descriptions - Job descriptions should be reliable, valid, understandable, and
specific enough to provide direction for staff behavior. Job descriptions should focus on what
the staff member does (e.g. advises the student government association) and what outcomes
are expected. These outcomes should be clearly linked to departmental and institutional
objectives and needs.
Job descriptions should use action words such "plans" or "supervises" rather than
"demonstrates initiative" or "is likable." Job descriptions should provide guidelines for staff
so they know the specific behaviors expected to perform. The responsibilities of the staff
member should be listed in order of importance and weighted relative to importance, if
possible.

2.7.3 Participatory and Interactive Appraisal - Appraisal system processes should be

designed in concert with all stakeholders and open to constant interaction with them. Plans
made jointly by staff and administrators have a better chance of working than plans made
independently by either party.

2.7.4 Workable formats that Avoid Systemic Bias - Effective performance appraisal
systems must include workable formats that avoid systematic biases. Checklists of
performance criteria completed at the same time every year should be avoided. This type of
approach simply fails to produce any useful information for individual or organizational
improvement.
Other biases include giving preferential treatment to some but not all staff, rating all staff the
same, being overly lenient or overly harsh toward some or all staff, and practicing conscious
or unconscious racial or gender prejudice.
Adopting a format that includes the standards of clarity, openness, and fairness and that
involves more than one appraiser may help to control some of these biases.
2.8 Susan M. Heathfield of

The Traditional Performance Appraisal Process

Says, “Managers cite performance appraisal as the task they dislike the most. This
is understandable given that the process of performance appraisal, as traditionally practiced, is
fundamentally flawed. It is incongruent with the values-based, vision-driven, mission-
oriented, participative work environments favored by forward thinking organizations today. It
smacks of an old fashioned, paternalistic, top down, autocratic mode of management which
treats employees as possessions of the company.”

2.9 Bacal’s of

Performance Management & Appraisal and Work-Related Articles

Says, “Performance management and performance appraisal (or employee reviews,

annual reviews, etc) are some of the most misused tools anywhere. A fortune is wasted on
inept processes, poor forms, and result from mistaken ideas about what performance
management is for, and why we do it.”

2.10 Gerard McLoughlin of

How to Prepare for a Performance Appraisal

Says, “Performance appraisal should be treated as an ongoing developmental

process rather than a formal once-a-year review. Both employee and reviewer to ensure that
targets are being achieved should closely monitor it. By preparing yourself diligently and
demonstrating a willingness to co-operate with your reviewer to develop your role, you will
create a positive impression.
To enable you to assess your own performance as objectively as possible, try to view it from
your manager's perspective. Make sure you are conversant with the company's assessment
policies and procedures.’’

2.11 From DULEWICZ

Says that "... A basic human tendency to make judgments about those one is working
with, as well as about oneself." Appraisal, it seems, is both inevitable and universal. In the
absence of a carefully structured system of appraisal, people will tend to judge the work
performance of others, including subordinates, naturally, informally and arbitrarily.
Performance appraisal systems began as simple methods of income justification. That is,
appraisal was used to decide whether or not the salary or wage of an individual employee was
justified.

The process was firmly linked to material outcomes. If an employee's performance was found
to be less than ideal, a cut in pay would follow. On the other hand, if their performance was
better than the supervisor expected, a pay rise was in order.

2.12 From KREIN

Says, “Appraisers should not confront employees directly with criticism. Rather, they
should aim to let the evidence of poor performance emerge "naturally" during the course of
the appraisal interview. This is done by way of open-ended questioning techniques that
encourage the employee to identify their own performance problems.

4.1 RESEARCH – MEANING AND DEFINITION

Research is an art of scientific investigation. The advanced learner’s dictionaries

of current English lay are down the meaning of research as, “a careful investigation (or)
inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge”. Redmen and
Mary define research as a “systematic effort to gain knowledge”...

4.2 RESEARCH DESIGN

A research design is purely and simply the framework or plan for a study that
guides the collection and analysis of data. Generally a research design is a blue print of the
research that is to be followed in completing the study.

It is descriptive research type are those, which are concerned with describing the
characteristics of a particular individual or of a group, where we cannot control the variables

4.3 SAMPLING DESIGN

4.5 RESEARCH INSTRUMENT:

Questionnaire was used to conduct the survey among 50 employees which

includes open-ended and closed ended questions

4.5.1 Open – ended questions:

A question which requires the respondent to answer it in his own words.

4.5.2 Closed ended question:

Likert scale:

A scale by the likert method in which subjects are given a number of statements
and asked to indicate their agreement or disagreement with those statements.
Dichotomous question:

Here the respondents are under the obligation to answer between two clear cut
alternatives like ‘YES’ or ‘NO’.

4.6 TOOLS FOR ANALYSIS:

For the analysis of data and its interpretations, various tools of research were used.

i. Percentage Method:

It refers to special kind of ratio. It is used to making comparisons between two

or more series of data. Percentages are used to describe relationships.

Percentage = No. Of Respondents X 100

Total No. Of Respondents

ii. Chi-Square Test:

It is one of the simplest and most widely used non-parametric tests, in

statistical work. The quantity describes the magnitude of discrepancy between theory and
observation. i.e. with the help of χ 2 test we can know whether a discrepancy between theory
and observation can be attributed to chance or whether it results from the inadequacy of the
theory to fit the observed facts.

The formula for computing chi-square (χ 2) is as follows

2
χ 2 = Σ { ( Ο − Ε ) / Ε}

iii Weighted Average Method

In the Weighted Average Method, the weighted average can be calculated by
the following formula
 XW = Σ WX/Σ X
Here XW represents the weighted average
“X1, X2, X3, X4,………..Xn” represents the value for variable values
“W1, W2, W3, W4 …Wn” represents the weight age given to the variable.

Steps
• Multiply the weights (W) by the variables (X) to obtain WX
• Add all WX to obtain WX
• Divide WX by sum of the weights (X) to get weighted average.

iv Rank Correlation
Rank Correlation is the technique of determing the degree of correlation
between two variables in case of ordinal data where ranks are given to the different values of
the variables

Spearman’s Coefficient of Correlation (or) r = 1- 6Σ di2

n (n2-1)
di = difference between rank of the two variables
n = number of pair of observations
