THEORETICAL REVIEW
2.1 Performance Appraisal
Performance appraisal is method evaluating the bearer of employees in the work spot, normally it including both the qualitative and quantitative as pact job performance. It is a system and objective way of evaluating both work related and potentials of employees. It’s a process that involves deterring and communicating to an employee how he or she is performing the job and ideally , establishing a plan improvement . (Bayer’s 5th edition) performance appraisal let employees not only how well they are perforating but also influence their future level effort and tasks direction. Performance evaluations are an integral part most organization properly developed and implemented, the performance appraisal prices can help an organization achieve its goals by developing productive employees. One of the most common use of performance appraisal is for making administrative decisions relating to promotion, layoff and pay increases the present job performance of an employee is often the most significant consideration determining we there to promote the person or not while suelesful performance in the present job does not necessarily mean an employee will be an effective for former in a high level job. Performance appraisal do provide some productive information about the actual performance of the employee. It can also provide the desired input for deterring both the individual and the organization training and development needs. This information can be used to identify in dividable employee strength and weariness. This information used to help determine the organization over all training and department needs for an individual employee, a computed performance appraisal should include plan out lining specific training and development needs another important use of performance  appraisal is to encourage performance improvement by communicating to employee how they are doing suggesting desired change in behaviors , attitudes, skills or knowledge. This feedback most clarities the employee job expectations help by manager. Sometimes this feedback most be followed by coaching and training by the manager to grieved employee work efforts. Finally two, others important uses of information generate throng performance appraisals are input to the validation of selection procedures and input to human resource planning. Although there are many types of performance evolution systems, each with is own advantage and disadvantages, we must aware of the legal implication that arise (john Wiley) and Jonson, 1997, 6th edition). Once employees have been sleeted, trained motivated and placed on their respective job , it becomes essential for the management to conduct performance appraisal to see we there the employees are effective on their jobs or not. By this, management can also know how it has been effective job. Performance appraisal is also known as” a merit training “ or employee appraisal some other terms of which are less commonly employee to mean performance appraisal are the progress report , staff assessment , service rating , personal review ,employee evocation and behavioral assessment (HRM, Ivanceich 1998) .
2.2 Nature of Appraisal  
An appraisal of employee is undoubtedly necessary at the time of employment. Actually evaluation is constantly being done at an unconscious level. Employees evaluate superior’s fellow colleges and subordinates what is needed to generate proper control is a formal procedure for evaluation personnel within the organizations. The personal department, where it exists can help materially in fixing the qualities and characteristics be rated, in deterring the person who should make such appraisal as well as by prescribing the appropriate procedures. (Rsdavar, 10th edit)

2.3 Features of Performance Appraisal
The main characteristics of performance appraisal may be listed thus
v   The appraisal is a systematic process involving there steps .
a)    Setting work standards
b)   Assessing employees actual performance relative to these standards
c)    Offering feedback to the employees so that he can eliminate deficiencies and improve performance in course of time.
v  It tires to find out how well the employee is performing the job and tries to establish a plan for further improvement.
v  The appraisal is carried out periodically, according to definite plan
v    Performance appraisal is future oriented activity shoaling employees where things have gone wrong , how to set everything in order and deliver results
v  Performance appraisal is not job evaluation. It refers to how well someone is doing an assigned job. Evaluation, on the other hand determines how much a job is worth to the organization and therefore, what rang of pay should be assigned to the job
v  Performance appraisal is not limited to calling the tow’ Its focus is on employee development. It forces managements to become coachers rather than their judges. The appraisals process provide an opportunity to identity issues for discussion, eliminate any potential problems and set new gols for achieving high performance (vsprao, 2005).
v  Performance appraisal may formal or informal. The informal evaluation is more likely to be subjective and influenced by personal factors. The formal system like to be more fair and objective since it is carried in a systematic manner , using printed appraisal forms
2.4 Objective of Appraisal 
Performance appraisal co cub be taken either for evaluating the performance of the employees or for developing them. The evacuation is two types telling the employees where he stands and using the data for personal decisions concerning pay, promotion etc . The job of manager can be functionally divided into four basis namely, planning, Organization, motivating and controlling. Thus in the final analysis it becomes necessary to evaluate how effectively the human resources has been utilized within the organization. This type of evaluation is of two types namely, (1) Appraisal of personnel or individual employees performance and (2) appraisal or audit of personnel function it self . This chapter is the developed to the aspect of performance appraisal of employee which is so essentials from the view point of employee development and promotion.
Generally, performance appraisal has the following objectives and limitation
ü  Identifies areas for further training needs
ü  To help determine promotion and transfer
ü  To reduce grievance
ü  To improve job performance (Bayer’s 5th edition)
2.5 Purpose /Aims of performance appraisal
Why should you appraise your performance?
In order to develop a performance appraisal system /process it is important to understand what purpose appraisal serve . Even so often , the senior management of company come together and outlines the goal and for the company over a specified time frame . The performance appraisal helps employers and employees and employees understand how well those gals are being met. The  employer already knows whether a goal has been achieved. But , may not under stand how or why the results are the way they are, Just as important individual employees need to understand how the have performance in regard to the company’s goal , and the goals set for them personally . (DESSLER, 2008).
 The appraisal process also gives the employees and superior on opportunity to work on carrier planning. Once supervisor understands the employee’s personal long term goals, he/she can help design a plan to help fur ther the employees goals. (DESSLER, 2008). This may induce recommending training options or even letting the employees in functional area outside their normal responsibilities. There are several reasons to appraise performance An accurately conducted performance appraisal produces data useful for a variety of organization and individual purpose. Many authors lists it in different ways?
v  Reduce favoritism in main managerial decision about personnel
v  Motivates employees by providing feedback on performance
v  Assist manager to observe their subordinate more closely do a better of job coaching
v  Provide backup data for making decision about employee compensation
v  Achieve better operation results and improved work performance( James C Gibson, John N. Gary , Dressler 6th edition, N.C jain, saksh:2001)
Shortly the very use full purpose are:-
ü  Compensation Decision
ü  Promotion delusion
ü  Training and development programs
ü  Feedback
ü  Personal
2.6 The benefits of performance appraisal
 Employer perspectives /Administrative use )
ü  Despite imperfect measurement techniques,  individidual differences in performance can mark a difference to company performance.
ü  Documentation of performance appraisal and feedback may be required for legal defuse
ü  Appraisals offers a rational basis contracting a bonus or merit system
ü  Appraisals dimensions and standards can help to implement strategic goals and clarity performance expectations.
v  Employee perspective /developmental purpose/
ü  Individual’s feedback help people to rectify their mistakes and get ahead , fowling more on their unique strengths.
ü  Assessment and reorganization of performance levels can motivate the employees to improve their performance (VSPRAO, HRM, 2nd edition , 2005)
2.7 The performance Appraisal process 
Performance appraisal is planned, developed and developed through a series of steps:- A. Establishing performance Standards
Appraisal system require performance standards, which serve as benchmarks against which performance is measured, job useful, standards should relate to the desired results of each job what about those appraisals which are carried out without any clear cut criteria?
To avoid embarrassments of this kind, performance standard, must be clear to both the appraisal and the appraise. The performance standards organ must be developed after a though analysis of the job . Goals must be write down. Just taking about  them is not enough. They must be measurable within certain time and cost cons durations.
B. Communicate the standards
Performance appraisal involves at least two parries i.e appraiser and appraise Both are expected to do certain things. The appraiser should prepare job description clearly help the appraise set his/her goals and targets analysis result objectively offer the coaching and guidance to the appraise when ever required and reward good results. The appraise should be very clear about what he is doing and why he is doing it for this purpose , performance standards must be communicated appraises and their reaction should be noted down right way. If necessary, this standards must be released or modified. As pointed out by De cero and Robbins , too many job have valve performance standards and the problems is compounded when this standards are set in isolation and don’t involve in the employee.
C. Measure actual performance
After the performance standards are set in the accepted , next actual performance is to be measured. This requires the dependable performance measures, ratings used to evaluate the performance. Four common sources of information which are generally used by the managers regarding how to measure actual performance are personal observations, statistical reports, Oral reports and written repents. Performance measured may be objective or subjective. Objective performance measures are indications of job performance that can be verified by others and usually quantitative objective  criteria includes quality of production , degree of training needed and accidents in a given period , absenteeism, length of service, etc subjective performance appraisals admeasures are ratings that are based on the personal standards  or options of the those doing the evaluation and arrant verifiable by other .
Subjective criteria include ratings by superiors (knowledge about overall goals , and contribution to socio cultural values of the environment. It should be noted have that objectives criteria can be laid down while evaluating tower level jobs which are specific and defined clearly. This is not the case with middle level positions that are  com pollex and vague.
D. Compare actual performance with standards and discuss the appraisal
Actual performance may be bather than expected and sometimes it may go off the truck. Whatever be the consequences;  there is away to communicate and discuss the final outcome. The assessment of another person contribution and ability is not an easy task. It has serous emotional overtones as it rafters the self esteem of the appraise. Any appraisal based on subjective criteria is likely to be questioned by the appraise and leave him quite defected and unhappy when an appraisal turns out to be negative.
E. Taking corrective action if necessary
Corrective action is of two types one puts out the fire immediately, which the other destroy, the roots of the problem permanently. I immediate action sets thing , rights things and get things back on truck where as the basic corrective action get to the source of deviations and seeks to adjust the difference permanently. Basic corrective steps seeks to find out how any why performance deviates.
2.8 Method of Performance appraisals
The performance appraisal methods classified into their categories, such as:-
1.   Individuals evaluation method
2.   Militiaperson evaluation method
3.   Other methods
v  Individual evaluation Method
Under this evaluation method of men it rating employees are evaluated one at a time without comparing them with other employees in the organization. There are many evaluation methods under this category evaluation method , let we see some of them
1.   Confidential report: It is mostly used in government organization. It is a descriptive report prepared, generally at the end of every year by the employee immediate superior. The report highlights the strength and weakness of the subordinates. The report is not data based. The impressions of the superior about the subordinate are merely recorded there. It does not offer any feedback to the appraise. The appraise is not very sure about why his rating have fallen despite his effects, why other are rated high when compared to him low to rectify his mistakes if , any on what basis he is going to be evaluated next year etc. since the report is generally not made public and hence no feedback is available , the subjective analysis of the superior is likely to be hotly contested.
2.   Critical incident techniques : Under this method , the manager prepared list of treat mints of every effective and in effective behavior of the employee. This critical incidents or events the outstanding or poor behavior of employees on the job. The manager maintains log on each employee which by the periodically records critic incidents of the worker behavior. At the end of the rating period , these recorded critic liner dents are used in the calculation of the workers  performance. This method provides an objective basis for conducting through discussion of an employee’s performance. This method suffers from the following literatures.
ü  Negative incidents may be more noticeable than positive incidents
ü  The superior have a tendency to unload a series of complaints about incidents during an annual performance review session.
ü  It results in very close supervision which may not be like by the employee
ü  Most frequently, the critical incidents methods  is applaud to evaluate the performance of superiors.
3.   Checklists and weighted checklist : Checklist  represents , in its simple form , asset of an objectives or descriptive statements about the employee and his behavior. If the rate believes strongly that the employee posses a particular listed trait , he checks the item , and otherwise he levels item blank. A more recent variation of the check list method a weighted list. The rating scores from the check list helps the manager in evaluation of the performance of the employee.
The checklist method has a serious limitation .i,e
ü  The rater may be biased in distinguishing the positive and negative questioned
ü  He may assign biased weights to the questions .
ü  It is expensive and time consuming
ü  It is becomes difficult for the manager to assemble , analyze and weigh a number of statements about the employees characteristics , contributions and behaviors
4.   Graphical rating scale:- under this method a printed form is used to evaluate the performance of an employee. A  variety of traits may be used to in thus types of rating devices , the most common being the quantity and quality of work. The rating scales can be also adopted by including traits that the company considers impotent for effectiveness on the job. From the graphic rating scales excerpt can be obtained about the performance standards of employees. The rating scale is the most common method of evaluation of an employees performance today. One positive point in favor of rating scale is that its easy to understand , to we and permits a statistical tabulation of score of employee when ratings are objective in nature , they can be effectively used as evaluation. The graphic rating scale may however suffer from long standing disadvantages, I,e it may be arbitrary and the rating may be subjective. A mother pitfalls is that each characteristic is equally important in evaluation of employee’s performance and so on .
5.   Management by Objectives (MBO)
MBO requires the management to set specific, measurable , goals with each employee and then periodically discuss the latter’s progress towards thus goals. This techniques emphasizes participative goals that are tangible, veritable and measurable. MBO focuses on what must be accomplished (goals )rather than how it is to be accomplished. It is thus a kind of goal setting and appraisal program involving six steps :
v  Set the organization’s goals
v  Set departmental goals
v  Discuss departmental goals
v  Define expected results
v  Performance review
v  Provide feedback
MBO demands a great deal time to set veritable goals at all levels of an organization. In the race define everything rigidly, some of the qualitative as pacts might be ignored (such as employee attitude, job satiation , etc). Often the superior may set goals ate frustratingly  high level , where as the subordinate many which to have it a comfortable levee. At times, the short form goals may take precedence over long term goals . the only way to over come thus problems is thus to allow the manger at all levels to explain , coordinate and guide the program is a pnsuasives democratic way. The jointly retarget set target must be fair and attainable. Both the superiors and the subordinates must be thought how to set realistic goals and be familiarized with the results for white they are finally held responsible
v  Multiple person evaluation techniques
The above discussed method are used to evaluate employee at a time. This section evaluates one employee in comparison to another. There techniques are used frequently in organization are:-
1.   Ranking Method: is relatively easy method of performance evaluation. Under this method, the ranking alt of employee in working prop is done against that of another employee. The relative position of each employee is expressed in terms of his numerical rank. It may also be done by ranking a personal job performance against another member of a competitive group. The implication of this methods that employee are ranged according to their relative level of performance which using this method , the evaluator is asted to rate employees from the highest to lowest towards some over all criteria , Though is it relatively easier to rank the best & the worst employees, it is very difficult to rant the average employees. Generally evaluators  pick the top & bottom employees first then select the next highest & the next lowest & above to wards the average/ middle employees .
2.   Paired companion method:- Ranking becomes more reliable & easier under the paired comparison method . Each worker is compared with all other employees in the group for every trait the worker is compared with all other employees.
3.   Forced distribution method :- Under this method , theater is asked to appraise the employee according to a predetermined distribution scale. The raters bias is sought to be eliminated here because workers are not placed at higher or lower end of the scale.
2.9 Problems with performance Appraisal
The problems in horrent in performance appraisal may be thus:-
A.   Judgmental errors  People commit mistakes which evaluating people and their performance Bases and  judgment errors of various kinds may spoil the show. Bias here refers to distortion of a measurement. These are as follows types.
I. Fist impression /primary effect / the appraiser fist impression of a candidate may color his evaluation of all subset quant behavior. In the case of negative primary effects the employees seem to do nothing right . In the case negative primary effect,  the employees can do no wrong (Herr’s p. 1992) .
II. Halo error: The rater’s bias in the other performance dimension affects the rater’s evaluation of other performance dimension
III. Leniency: Depending on raters own mental makeup at the time of appraisal , raters may be rated very strictly very leniently , a appraisers generally find evaluating others difficult , especially where negative ratings have to be green. A profess or might hesitate to tail a candidate when all other student, have cleared the examination. The leniency error can render an appraisal system in effective if everyone is to be rated  high , the system has not done anything to differentiate among the employees .
V. Central Tendency: Its an alternative to the leniency effect. It occurs when the appraise rate all employees as average perfumers
VI .stereotyping: Is a mental picture that an individual holds about adperson belay use of that person’s sex age religion , etc
VII. Regency Effect :- In this case the rater gives weight age to recent occur acnes than earlier performance.
B.   Poor appraisal forms: The appraisal process might also  be influenced by the following factors relating to the forms that are used by raters .
ü  The rating seals may be quite vague and underarm
ü  The rating form may ignore important aspects of job performance
ü  The rating form may be contagion additional for performance  dimension
ü  The form may be too long and complete.
C.   Lack of rater preparedness : The raters may not be adequately trained to carry out performance management activities.
2.10 Essential Characteristics of an effective appraisal system
Performance appraisal system should be effective as number of crucial decisions are  made on the basis of score or rating given by the appraiser , which in turn is highly biased on the appraisal system. It posses the following charlteristics.
A.   Reliability and validity: appraisal system should /provide consistent , reliable and valid information in a job related activities / areas of the organization.
B.   Job relatedness: The appraisal technique should measure the performance and provide information in a job related areas.
C.   Standardization: appraisal forms, procedures , administration of techniques , rating etc  should standardized as appraisal decision affects all employees of the group
D.  Practical viability :The technique should be practically viable to administer possible to implement and economical to undertake continuously
E.   Open Communication Most employees want to know how well they are performing the job. A good appraisal interview should permit both parties to learn about the gaps and prepare themselves for the future.
F.   Employee access to results: employee should know the rules of the game they should receive adequate feedback on their performance.
G.  Due Process : it follows then that formal procedures should be developed to enable employees who disagree with appraisal results (which are considered to be in accurate or unfair ). Performance appraisal should be used primarily resets
2.11 The challenges in performance Management
In present day organizations, the return process of motivating employees are common to all levees. Acknowledge unique contributions and alleviate personal concerns that impact profession performance to get the best out of people the chief executive offices should.
*      Create a culture of excellence that motivates employees at all levels
*      Match organization objectives with individual aspirations
*      Equip people with requisites skills to discharge their duties well 
*      Clear growth paths for talented employees
*      Provide new challenges to rejuvenate flattening corners
*      Employer employees to take decisions without fear of failing
*      Encourage team work and team sprit and open communication
Empirical Review
It in various terms such as performance appraisal performance review , personal rating menstruating employee evaluation  
The history of performance appraisal is quite beret . Its rootles in the earlt20th  
Century can be traced to Taylors pioneering , time and motion studies There is says “a basic human tendency to make judgments about those one is working with as we as about one self  appraisal, it seems , is both inevitably and universal . In the abs ice of carefully strutted system of performance ,appraisal people will tend to judge the work performances of others in clouding subordinates , naturally informally and arbitrary Dura wicz(1989).
Research (Bannister and Barking, 1990) has reported that appraises seem to have great or acceptance of the appraisal process and feed more statistic with it when the process is directly linked to reverends. Boyce and killer reports those effective performance appraisal system help to create a motivated and committed work force to be effective they require the support of top management to show their commitment and to translate the organization goals and objectives into personalized employee specific objective.
