Chapter 9: Performance Management Creating Effective Organizations
Why Performance Appraisals? • To recognize and reward good performance • To make decisions regarding promotions and hiring • To provide individuals with feedback to help in their development • To identify training and other needs for individuals and the organization • To obtain data for human resource planning
Problems with Appraisals • Evaluation and feedback are poor (see exhibit in text) • The atmosphere in the interview is highly defensive and not constructive • The rating system used is not linked to the desired behaviors • The behaviors that are being measured and rewarded are not linked to the organization’s mission and goals
Who Might Do Appraisals • Superiors • Subordinates • Peers • Self • Clients Note: Data gathered from a variety of sources will likely give a better picture of the performance of an individual. However, gathering such data can be time-consuming and costly.
Objectives of Compensation Compensation must be… • Legal • Adequate • Motivating • Equitable • Secure • Cost-effective
Key Wage Legislation • Fair Labor Standards Act • Record Keeping • Minimum Wage • Child Labor • Overtime • Equal Pay Act • Social Security Act • Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) • Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) • Worker Compensation
Key Decisions in Compensation • Wage Level: Where should our compensation be in relation to other companies? • Wage Structure: How do we value different jobs in our organization? Which jobs are worth more than others? • Individual Wages: How should we reward people who are performing similar work?
