Merit-rating and performance appraisal • WD Scott before world war I, influenced by Taylor, man to man
comparison• Even today’s works are influenced by Taylor• Scott’s scale was modified and used to rate efficiency of US army• In 1920s and 1930s Scott’s efforts were developed into graphic rating• Used for repots on workers and for rating managers and supervisors:
Inspiring-favourable-indifferent-unfavourable-repellent• Subordinates were periodically analyzed in terms of traits in subjective
way.
![Page 22: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Attacks on merit-rating and performance appraisal • Strong attack by McGregor :appraisal to analysis.• Not only weaknesses, But also Strengths and potentials• More future focused than the past• Analysis of behavior to achieve agreed results not assessment of
personality• Rowe concluded :• Appraisers were reluctant to appraise• The follow-up was inadequate• Difficulty of achieving standards
![Page 23: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
History of T-Group
Kurt Lewin, founder of modern social psychology facilitated group dialogue in Training Groups (or T-Groups) that advocates open-minded appreciation and inclusion of differences which is the beginning of HRD profession according to (Dipak Bhattacharyya PMS 2011)
![Page 24: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Management by objectives
• By Peter Drucker: An effective management must direct the vision and efforts of all managers towards a common goal. • McGroger 1960: Theory Y:
![Page 25: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• John Humble: MBO : • Reviewing critically and restating company’s strategic and
tactical plan• Each manager key results and performance standards and
commitment individually and as a team member• Providing conditions for achieving the key results • Developing management training plan• Strengthening the motivation of managers
![Page 26: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Criticism of MBO
• Levinson 1970: • failure might be because of a partner, supervisor, subordinate or colleague, • Emphasis on quantification and quality will be sacrificed• MBO leaves out the individual’s needs and objectives
• Much time is spent on developing goals for the year• MBO often became a top-down• MBO is intended to concentrated on mangers • leaving the rest to be dealt with in old-fashioned merit-rating
![Page 27: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Criticism of MBO…• Fowler (1990) criticized MBO because: • Not right for all organizations• emphasis was on mangers roles limited recognition of corporate
goals• Line mangers perceived it as centrally imposed administrative task• Formal once-a-year and little relationship with day-to-day
activities• Overemphasis on quantifiable objectives• Administratively top-heavy – form –filling became an end in itself
![Page 28: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Critical-incident technique
• 1954: Developed by Flangan. On the basis of his research he came to a conclusion that to avoid trait assessment. • Evidence of actual performance are recorded in “black book”• It did not gain much acceptance perhaps because the ‘black book’
accusation stuck, but also it seemed to be time consuming
![Page 29: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Behaviorally anchored rating scales• Designed to reduce the rating errors. performance dimensions are
rated such as: • Continually contributes new ideas• Takes a full part in grout meetings• Delivers opinions and suggestions • Tendency to comply passively • Tendency to go own way• Generally uncooperative
• But it is more time consuming • room for making subjective judgments
![Page 30: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Performance appraisal (1970)
• 1970s: revised approach under the influence of MBO sometimes called result oriented appraisal• Trait ratings were also used • recently replaced by competency rating • Popular during 1980s because of performance based pay• Appraisal defined by ACAS 1988: regularly records an assessment of
an employee’s performance, potential and development needs. It is to take an overall view of work content, loads and volume, to look back at what has been achieved during the reporting period and agree objectives for the next
![Page 31: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Levinson 1976: he wrote that there were many things wrong with most of PA systems such as: • Usually subjective• Delays in feedback occur •Managers generally have sense of inadequacy• individual objectives were seldom related to the
objectives of business• There is no such a perfect performance review.
![Page 32: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Lazer and Wikstrom 1977 as follows: • A good performance appraisal scheme must be job
related, reliable, valid for the purpose for which it is being used, standardized in its procedures, practical in its administration and suited to the organization’s culture.
•
![Page 33: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• PA was perceived as the property of personal department• The worst feature of PA in 1970s and 1980s: not a normal process of
management, somehow isolated even the same is true today• Line mangers often criticized it. • rate first in accordance pay increase • Fletcher (1993a) stated: what we are seeing is the diminishing of the
traditional appraisal system instead new processes are evolving according to the needs however the term appraisal has outlived its usefulness in some ways.
![Page 34: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
History of 360-degree feedback
• The German military first began gathering feedback from multiple sources in order to evaluate performanceduring World War II. • One of the earliest recorded uses 1950s at Esso Research and
Engineering Company.
• The idea of 360-degree feedback gained momentum
![Page 35: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

HR Scorecard- Rao, 1999
• HR Scorecard to measure the maturity level of HR in an organization was developed in India by Rao (1999), HR is audited as following:
1. Maturity of any HR system2. Competencies of HR staff, line managers and top management3. HRD culture and values 4. HR’s impact on business or organizational goals
• HRD Score Card 2500: gives pointes each of the above as following: (1) 1000 points (2) 500 points (3) 500 points (4) 500 points
![Page 37: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Enter performance management
• The first use of the term ‘performance management’ is in Beer and Ruh (1976). • The aim of PMS is described at Corning Glass Work as following: • Emphasis on both development and evaluation • Use of a profile defining the individual’s strengths and development needs• Integration of the results achieved with the means by which they have been
achieved • Separation of development review from salary review
![Page 38: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Enter performance management…• In the UK the first published reference to PM: • meeting of the IPM Compensation Forum in 1987 by Don Beattie
• By 1990 PM had entered the vocabulary of HRM in the UK as well as in the USA. • Fowler (1990) defines what has become the accepted concept of PM. • Management has always been about getting things done, and good managers
are concerned to get the right things done well. That in essence is the PM.
![Page 39: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Enter performance management…• PM established: Full recognition of the existence of PM was
provided by the research project conducted by the IPM (1992) and following definition was produced: • A strategy which relates to every activity of organization set in the context of
its HR policies, culture, style and communication systems. The nature of strategy depends on the context of organization and can very from organization to organization.
![Page 40: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Enter performance management…• IPM researchers Bevan and Thompson 1991: • Reward-driven integration: role of performance pay in changing
organizational behavior . It is appeared to be dominant mode of integration • Development driven integration: which stress the importance of HRD.
Performance pay is perceived to be complementary to HRD activities not dominating it.
![Page 41: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Enter performance management…• Conclusion of Bevan and Thompson research: • No evidence that PM is associated with improvement of performance• Psychological research makes it clear that setting targets enhance
performance• Process most often relying on subjective • based on incomplete evidence and spiced with bias.• There is little consistency of viewpoint on the motivating power of money.• The focus has been on improving the bottom line
![Page 42: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Why performance management
• Negative aspects of merit-rating and MBO• Trait assessment• PM simply replaced PA just as HRM and Personal Management.• PM may often be no more than new wine in old bottles.• The rise of HRM also contributed to emergence of PM
![Page 43: A Short History of Performance Management V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55cf9866550346d033976abf/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Exam Questions
• What is management by objective? Merit and demerit of MBO?
