Performance management is a systematic process that entails planning work, setting expectations, monitoring outcomes, developing capability, rating performance, and rewarding achievement (U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 2012). Developing clear, measurable, fair, and challenging standards is required if a performance appraisal is to be the basis for employee retention, development, promotion, and compensation in an organization. Performance appraisal processes must be developed, implemented, and monitored in such a manner that promotes accurate, standardized, and appropriate execution. Consequently, it is essential to understand how to properly design these systems to ensure effective use.
For this Assignment, review this week’s media. (http://mym.cdn.laureate-media.com/2dett4d/Walden/PSYC/8576/01/mm/greenway/index4.html) *please enable the flash player to get to link). Consider how you might develop a standardized performance appraisal process to evaluate the three job types presented in the media.
Develop a performance appraisal process for Greenway Inc. consisting of three types of jobs (manufacturing, sales, executive).
In your Assignment, you should do the following:
- Characterize the appraisal’s elements.
- Explain how the appraisal mechanism is tied to a job analysis.
- Identify the number of performance levels, and explain how the number of levels was determined.
- Explain how the system would be standardized and validated.
- Provide an APA reference list and use appropriate APA citations throughout.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
