ABSTRACT
The Performance Management System (PMS) in an important aspect of any
organization that being to measure the employees’ performance as against the vision,
mission, developmental goals of an irrespective of the sector or type of an
organization. The PMS is just not limited to performance appraisal system but also
includes learning and development, training requirement, to enhance communication
across the organization and its bridge between employee and employer for
organizational development. In the recent past behavioral aspect of an employee,
psychological wellbeing, employee performance deviations, performance
measurement and employee training needs to improve performance of organization as
a whole included in the performance management of an organization. This study
discusses an important aspect of the how to measure one of the performance
management system components— employee performance using performance
appraisal. This study also discusses various types of performance appraisal system
measurements and their merits and demerits and suggested solutions to relieve the
misery of untold stories. The study concludes providing meaningful suggestions on
measurement of performance appraisal system.
Key words: performance management system, performance appraisal, regression,
psychological wellbeing

1. INTRODUCTION
The Performance Management System (PMS) is not a new concept and has been an active
subject that was first reported in 221 AD when Wei Dynasty emperors measured performance
of their family members. The PMS had actually originated from the workplace settings and
began to reach its active level during 18th
century. During this period Robert Owen started
observing the performance of his cotton mill workers in Scotland using ―Silent Monitors‖.
This method helped to measure the individual performance of worker, however could not
provide clear picture of PMS of the cotton mill as a whole. There was a tectonic shift during
1920 and 1930s and mostly the system as concentrated on operational efficiency and
effectiveness. During this period the concept of Return on Investment was introduced just to
increase the profits on company‘s investments.
Peter Drucker [1] a Management Consultant in his book— The Practice of Management,
described the concept the Management by Objectives (MBO) with an idea to management
business based needs and goals. It was during 1990s the companies linked the employee
performance— of individual, team, department against operational performance and goals of
the company. John Doerr [2] at Intel introduced the concept of objectives and key results
(OKR) with a vision to achieve aggressive goals. The OKR is now one of the components of
measuring performance in modern and technological world giving employees on expectations
from them, feedback between peer and employee, review and corrective measures for
improve performance and better employee engagement.
During early years, the performance appraisals first used by Scott WD prior to World War
I, but this system not widely accept till mid of the century when formal appraisal systems
started and implemented by several companies. A formal appraisal system developed during
mid 1950s, however without an element of self-appraisals and monitored only inherited
personality of an employee. During 1960s self-appraisal was given more focus and most of
the performance appraisal system concentrated on objectives and goals in relation to what an
employee can achieve in coming months/year. It is during 1960s the self-appraisal system was
developed and used. During 1970s several modifications were done on appraisal system, with
inclusion on psychometrics, and rating scales for performance measurement. During 1980s,
several new metrics were developed, including employee core competencies communication,
teamwork, initiative, self-awareness and emotional intelligence to assess employee
performance.
In the recent past traditional performance management systems was further refurbished,
with the training and development, multiple feedback sources—360-degree feedback getting
traction. Organization values, ethics, cultures, if included and one can sure that performance
appraisal system take further modification will continue to have a greater role in peer
assessment and assessment of peers by employees.
2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The two types of performance appraisal systems are to evaluate employee performance for
increments, promotion, employee retention, identify poor performance and plan training
needs. Another function of performance appraisal is to identify individual training needs,
performance feedback to do some SWOT analysis (Boswell and Boudreau, 2000) [3]. Coens
Evolution of Performance Management Systems and the Impact on Organization‘s Approach:
A Statistical Perspective
http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 990 [email protected]
and Jenkins (2000) [4] recommended abolishing the performance appraisals because of
failures in development planning, setting up of correct objectives and perfect 360-degree
feedback.
The PMS focus should be on the core of the evaluation and development process,
improving the communication between peer and subordinate, with open and honest mindset
for a culture of creative learning organizations Gratton and Ghoshal (2002) [5]. Armstrong
and Baron (2004 & 2005) [6, 7] noted the shift from performance appraisal to performance
management is just terminology but actually Performance evaluation is as famous as a
punitive, top down monitoring tool, an unloved system. However, need a systematic,
comprehensive approach each and every employee in an organization in a continuous cycle,
improving employee‘s skills and their results, and therefore the success of the organization
and as whole. Cunneen (2006) [8] states that most of the managers are unhappy and the
dislike appraising subordinate because of the management restrictions and rules the away
employee need to be appraised.
The process of performance appraisal is too complex and time consuming with too many
conflicting objectives. The evaluation systems sometimes miss out the real objective of the
system and reduce the potential developmental aspects. In most of the organisations
performance appraisal under PMS has multiple objectives— targets, feedback, assessing the
potential of an employee, developmental needs and performance related pay increases
(Strebler, 2001) [9]. He further suggests these schemes require enormous resources and
considerable commitment from the employees. However, Murphy (2004) [10] opined no
performance appraisal system can meet all the objectives of feedback, training and
development, goal setting, pay, etc in single short.
The organizations are aiming to progress, motivate and enhance the employees‘
performance in various human resource operations (Gungore, 2011) [11]. In the recent past,
both the performance appraisal system and performance management are one of the focused
concerns of the organizations, and performance management system created to address these
challenges. Therefore, the performance of the organization is overall aggregate performance
of all the employees including management performance. The success of any business
dependents on the precise determination of performance of employees and optimize them as
imperative resource. The perfect and precise measurement of employee and organization
performance is needed to gain competitive advantage in the industry (Toppo and Prusty 2012)
[12]. The performance management system also deals with an accomplished and proficient
management system for organizations to evaluate performance outcome of organizations and
its employees (Babu and Suhasini 2017) [13].
A well-executed performance management system would result in high-level employee
engagement and more dedicated personnel. Employee engagement conversely has established
to have an important influence on the performance of an employee (Anitha 2014) [14]. The
managerial leadership, infrastructure, human resource practices, and workplace environment
are four different levels where in performance management system survives. To be more
effective, performance management system should entail communication from every groups
engaged in the system. In concentrates more on future performance scheduling more willingly
the retroactive performance appraisal system (Mahapa et al. 2015) [15]. Devarajan et al. 2016
[16] reported introducing performance management system the asessessment growth of sale
could be done in adequare manner. The assessment procedure is carried out in an adequate
manner the correct assessment of the different function related to the sales and revenue is also
done. This assessment procedure will inform the company whether there is any reduction in
costs in related to sale management. The performance management system was essential for

mobile commerce companies to know the performance levels of employees can be measured
in a better way (Sharma, Sharma and Rajasekgharan 2016) [17].
In future the next generation performance management system will focus on contribution
of an employee is directly related to employee job satisfaction with continuous evaluation of
employee performance not only with objectives and set of goals, but with the competitive
advantage of having an employee with the organization. The next general performance
management system will be learning and personal growth centric with forward focused
approach, outcome drive with frequent goal alignment with meaningful engagement of the
employees. The employee contribution, engagement, directly measured with increased
productivity and increased business outcomes (SABA 2018) [18]
2.1. Performance Measurement
Mruthyanjaya Rao et. al. (2019) [19] using multinomial logistic regression studies measured
the association between the performance management and factors that are responsible for
improve employee performance. The study measured employee competencies such as
personal competencies, job-knowledge competencies, communication and interpersonal
competencies carrying out a survey in m-Commerce companies. The study reported that
factors associated with improved employee performance, personal competencies,
communication and interpersonal competencies are significant predictors of employee
performance management system. This study also observes significant gender differences.
Radha Damle (2012) measured Employee using the scale based on -Taxonomy of Higher-
Order Performance Dimensions model proposed by Campbell (1990) [20], using a 22-item
with eight factors of employee performance. The researcher used a 9 point Likert type-scale,
with values ranging from +4 to -4, and these values were converted to a five-point scale.
Prasad et. al. 2016 [21] carried out a multinomial logistic regression analysis to predict the
employee performance among men and women at the international agricultural research
institute. The researcher measured six causal factors of performance absenteeism, loss of
interest in work, low morale, poor work relations, reduced productivity.
Prasad and Vaidya (2020) [22] measured the performance using six factors—Task
competence, Employee motivation, Commitment, Non-job assignments, Integrity and Co-
workers using multiple regression analysis to study the association among Covid-19
parameters, occupational stress and employee performance: An empirical study with reference
to Agricultural Research Sector in Hyderabad Metro. This study reported The Covid-19
parameters workplace isolation, lack of communication, family distractions, role overload and
occupational stress factors role ambiguity, role conflict, career, Job-control are statistically
significant and are good predictors of the performance.
Prasad et. al. (2015) [23] studied the factors effecting the performance management
system using multiple regression analysis. The researchers measured several factors of
performance management system like SMART Goals Vision Punctuality MBO Appraisals
Training Technology Leverage, etc. and reported the factors that effect the performance of an
employee. This study further reported that employee performance as function of performance
management system carrying out a study in IT enabled industry in Hyderabad. The measured
employee performance factors like SMART, MBO, appraisals are influencing the
performance management system.
Prasad et al. (2016) [24] in their study Evaluation of the Employee Core Competencies
Influencing the Performance Appraisal System using multiple regression analysis using a
study on Agriculture Research Institutes, Hyderabad. The researchers used six factors to
measure the employee performance like job execution, skill level, job knowledge, team work,
initiative, team work, and compliance to policies. The authors used 9 point liker type scale to

measure the employee prior to carrying out the analysis. Except client orientation all the
factors are significant predictors of the employee performance.
Prasad et al. (2016) [25] measured the performance of CBSE school teachers around
Hyderabad using the factors using the performance factors, work overload, Role overload,
role ambiguity, student behaviour, school environment, school policies ethics and social
support. This study reported that the social support is the significant predictor of employee
performance. An independent researcher Workfront narrated the history of performance
management systems [26].
Saleh AL-Sinawi et. al. (2015) [27] using a multiple regression analysis examined the
predictors of employees‘ service performance and reported training and performance
appraisal are the valid predictors of examining employees‘ service performance. the findings
suggested training and performance appraisal will significant influence the performance.
2.2. Summary of Research Reviews
After reviewing several research articles it was observed that the measurement of
performance appraisal varies from organization to organisation and sector from sector. The
researchers also surprised to observe different performance appraisals for different people
using different components. For example, in International Agricultural Research Institute,
Hyderabad different appraisal mechanisms were observed for managers, officers, and
scientists. In some organizations used 9-point Likert type scale to measure the employee
performance, and the supervisors were asked to rate employee on 9-point scale with an
average score of <4 is unsatisfactory, while measuring 9 factors. The outcome was in five
categorising like outstanding, excellent, good, satisfactory and unsatisfactory. In some cases,
the appraisal was measured on five-point categorical scale like Exceeded Expectations (EE),
Exceeded some expectations (AE), Met all expectations, Met some expectations and Below
expectations. In some cases, the employees were asked to fill self-appraisals narrating the
contribution to the organization during the year and comments of the supervisor included. The
researchers also surprised to note that in some cases some percentages were fixed for
appraisal ratings like outstanding. (15%), Excellent (20%), good (65), this means this
appraisal system is biased and cannot measure the employees actual performance because of
the rating restrictions. An employee may be performed outstandingly but rated Excellent or
Good because of rating restrictions.
After thorough review of the research articles it was observed that most the performance
measurements were done using statistical models like multiple regression, ordinal logistic
regression, multinomial regression analysis and results were reported. However, no article has
come across to the researchers that performance is simply measured using the performance
appraisal or performance appraisal contents. Therefore, the employee performance is not just
dependent on his contribution to the organizations purely on job assignments. It dependents
on external factors, social support, family support, organization environment, policies, ethics
and several other factors which vary organization and to organization. No organization
considered these factors seriously before evaluating the employee performance.
3. RESEARCH GAP
The researchers find a little gap in performance appraisal mechanisms in some of the
performance management systems that do not incorporate performance predictors such as
social support, family support, occupational stress factors and psychological wellbeing
factors. Almost all the organizations believe in only providing the objectives and outputs to
the employee that need to be achieved during the year. Further there are several sectors
common in India like banking sectors, IT sector, eCommerce Sector, Health Sector and

Education where there is a possibility to adopt a common or near common appraisal system
sector wise if the sector industry come forward develop protocol(s) to have a similar
appraisal. Another demerit in the present system percentage restrictions on ratings and this
lead to biased approach and this is against the natural law of justice. Another important to be
considered is how incorporate the external factors social support, family support, and internal
factors organizational climate, ethics embodied into the appraisals.
4. EVOLUTION OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
This research finds a tremendous change in the approach of PMS over a period of time. The
competencies have been changed and they attained a logical significance. The following
diagram (Figure 1) represents how the PMS have undergone major shifts through its
competencies.
Figure 1 This illustration shows the competencies on left side and their evolution on the right side.
One could see two bulleted rows out of which first one represents old model and the second one
represents latest form.
5. GENERAL FACTORS THAT IMPACT THE PMS
The researchers made an attempt to address these issues developing theoretical framework
focused upon the significant areas of performance management system, and tried to develop a
simple framework for at least at basic level that can be utilized by the managers across the
industries. The five factors that are found greatly impacted the performance management
systems are, i) defining the organizational goals by which the employees performance can be
gauged; ii) integration with the technology so as to keep the organization abreast of the latest
happenings around; iii) learning and development outcomes to assess whether the resources
are fine tuned to the roles and responsibilities that they are assigned; iv) succession planning
in ensuring the organization shall not depend on any individual however key the resource is,
and to sustain in the long run; v) maintain knowledge repositories as the works undertaken by
the individual shall form part of the intellectual properties of the organization, and these

knowledge repositories are to be archived to refer whenever there is a need to refer them.
These are the significant factors that affect the PMS in any organization irrespective of the
sector or business or function. This concept is represented through the following illustration
(Figure 2).
Figure 2 The fundamental idea of PMS is dependant on 5 core functions which, in turn influence PMS
and integrates, within organization without which PMS loses its significance.
6. METHODS OF DATA ANALYSIS
The researchers once the data gathering is completed, they organize and integrate the
collected data by appropriately tabulating, so the data will be reused if needed and it also
enhances the life of the data. In survey researchers it most common to remove the inaccurate
data where the respondents not answered to all the questions. Such type of situations the
researchers drop that particular record from analysis. Later the data grouping will be done
based on the study variables. The variables names will be given before grouping the data and
the organized data will be transferred to the systems or statistical packages like SPSS, SAS,
Excel, etc for further analysis. The researchers provide here the certain assumptions that need
to be fulfilled before measuring the performance of an employee or organization data will be
collected for running statistical methods like correlation, regression, multinomial logistic
regression and any other statistical methods. In the following we narrate the procedures need
to be followed once the data is organized
Normality of Data: The checking normality of data is needed before proceeding further
analysis. The two ways of checking normality of data is numerically and graphically. The
statistical methods can be applied to test the normality of the data for objective judgement,
however sample size should be adequate as low sample size will have sensitivity issues. The
subjective judgement most the of the researchers following viewing the plots/graphs and
graphical representation has advantage for good judgment.

Shapiro Wilk test of normality: The following table presents the results from Kolmogorov-
Smirnov Test and the Shapiro-Wilk Test. The Shapiro-Wilk Test is more appropriate for
small sample sizes (< 50 samples), and can also handle sample sizes as large as 2000.
Therefore, Shapiro-Wilk test is better test to assess the numerical means of normality. From
the table the categorising the dependent variable low, moderate and high, and the dependent
variable is normally distributed. This is evident from the significant value of Shapiro-Wilk
test >0.05 and the data is normal. If this .value is <0.05 it indicates that data has significantly
deviated from the normal distribution.

Normal Q-Q plots: To assess the normality of a data distribution graphically, an output of a
normal Q-Q Plot can be used. The data points close to the diagonal line indicate the data is
normally distributed. If the data points stray from the line in an obvious non-linear fashion,
the data are not normally distributed. From the following Q-Q plot it is evident that the data is
normally distributed.

Dispersion methods: The dispersion methods i.e. scatter or spread of the data to extent to
which distribution is squeezed can be assessed using the methods like standard deviation,
average, median and range.
Reliability and consistency of the survey instrument/questionnaire: The researcher need to
measure the reliability internal consistency using Reliability statistic Cronbach alpha
(Cronbach 1951) [29] or other reliability statistics spearman brown split-half statistic. This is
Evolution of Performance Management Systems and the Impact on Organization‘s Approach:
A Statistical Perspective
http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 996 [email protected]
a psychometric reliability test but can work for performance appraisal type of questionnaire
(Spearman 1910 [30] ; Brown 1910[31]).
Performance measurement scales: The organizations based on the objectives and vision
decides how performance need to be measured. Taxonomy of Higher- Order Performance
Dimensions model proposed by Campbell (1990) [20] generally used by researchers to
measure the performance. It is common to use 5-point Likert type scale with measurements
Outstanding, Excellent, Good, Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory to assess the different traits of
an employee performance. Some organizations use EE, AE, ME, BE, NME; Exceeded most
of the expectations, exceeded some expectations, met all expectations, Below Expectations
and Not Met most of the expectations. The researchers observed some self-appraisal system in
the form of work plan where an employee fills his work plan for the year relating objectives
of his job and the outputs will be measured end of the year. However, individual performance
is not a measure of an organization‘s performance.
Dimension reduction— Principal component analysis: Principal components analysis (PCA)
is a variable-reduction technique that shares many similarities to exploratory factor analysis.
Its aim is to reduce a larger set of variables into a smaller set of 'artificial' variables (called
principal components) that account for most of the variance in the original variables.
Although principal components analysis is conceptually different to factor analysis it is often
used interchangeably with factor analysis in practice and is included within
the Factor procedure in SPSS Statistics (Laerd Stastics [32].
Performance management analysis: The general methods used are linear regression, ordinal
logistic regression, multinomial logistic regression to measure the organization performance
as the whole as the total employees aggregate performance is whole organization‘s
performance.
7. METHODOLOGY
Lacunae in performance appraisal ratings/methods: Prasad et al. (2019) [33] in their case
study reported some anomalies in assessing the employee performance. The anomaly is
restrictions/bar put on certain performance ratings like— outstanding can be only (15%);
Excellent (20%), and others (65%). The employee believes that because of the rating
restrictions the actual employee performance is not reflected in when final evaluation is made.
An employee may be performance outstandingly, however, because of the rating restrictions
he was rated Excellent or other. This anomaly can be removed modifying the rating scale to a
9-point rating scale where rating falls between 1 (low) and 9(high), and these ratings can be
summed up to moving employee into next level, keeping the yearly increment equal to all the
employees and the losses tangible/intangible can be covered when employee moved to the
next level. This method helps to move the employees to next level based on their 3 or 5 year
ratings and limits the bias.
One-fit for all performance appraisal and measurement for sector based industries: Prasad
(2018) [34,35] observed a peculiar situation while assessing the performance in a research
study occupational stress, coping vs employee performance. The author collected the data
from various companies from Information Technology sector. However, the performance
appraisals are differed from company to company. Some IT companies are provided the
appraisals and the researcher keyed in all the variables mostly which are near common and
run principal component analysis using SPSS ver 24. Apart from several variables (here
questions) retained only those variable with an eigen value of >1 and the variable accounts
maximum variance. This result further reveal there is a scope for one-fit all performance
appraisals for Information Technology industry/IT Enabled industries and so on.

Multiple Regression: Linear regression can be used to measure the continuous dependent
variable A multiple regression is used to predict a continuous dependent variable based on
multiple independent variables. Multiple regression also allows you to determine the overall
fit (variance explained) of the model and the relative contribution of each of the predictors to
the total variance explained. If any researcher wants to measure the performance with more
than one dependent variables the multiple regression analysis can be used
Multinomial logistic Regression: Multinomial Logistic Regression is the regression analysis
to conduct when the dependent variable is nominal with more than two levels. Similar to
multiple linear regression, the multinomial regression is a predictive analysis. Multinomial
regression is used to explain the relationship between one nominal dependent variable and one
or more independent variables. Here the variables are more than two categories. I an
organization wants to predict the aggregate effect of performance based on employee
performance based on categories low effect, moderate effect, high effect the multinomial
logistic regression can be used. The multinomial logistic regression results odds ratios and
effect of each predictor variable on outcome variable. Therefore, an organization can assess
the what traits/core competencies such job knowledge, team work, initiative, skill level etc are
influencing the outcome variable performance.
General linear model: The normal linear regression analysis and the ANOVA test are only
able to take one dependent variable at a time. So one cannot measure the true effect if there
are multiple dependent variables. In such cases multivariate analysis can be used. Thus,
multivariate analysis (MANOVA) is done when the researcher needs to analyze the impact on
more than one dependent variable. For example, if an organization wants to find the impact
two or more core competencies like job knowledge, skill level, team work and initiative in
this case the four said variables are 4 dependent variables that can be measured using general
linear models in SPSS against training and development, enhanced technology base, gaming
techniques.
A researcher can test all the dependent variable are affected by the above said 3
independent variables then MANOVA analysis can be opted. It helps to analyze three
things:
impact of change in independent variables on dependent variables,
interaction among the dependent variables and
interaction among the independent variables
8. DISCUSSION
The researchers had discussed in detail the performance appraisal measurement and demerits
and suggested appropriate measures to remove the miseries of untold stories. Several
researchers measure the performance appraisal based on the standard appraisals forms where
employee skills measured and rated. However, in most of the organizations performance
appraisals or performance management system not aligned to the vision, mission and goals of
the organizations. Further, performance of an employee is not just limited to the internal
environment of an organization and several external factors such as occupational stress,
psychological wellbeing of an employee, work place isolation, lack of advice, social support,
family support influence the outcome of employee performance. In Figure 1 the researches
emphasized on contemporary and convention models of evolution of PMS and figure 2
factors that effect the performance management system. In most of this model can be
generalized and is similar to the several model proposed by the past researchers. We have also
provided a list of statistical methods/test can be used for measuring the performance appraisal
of an employee. As the organization‘s performance is an aggregate of total employees these

techniques where needed, appropriately can be applied based on the data and performance
design model. There is a need to develop one-fit all performance appraisal system at least for
sector based like health sector, IT sector, eCommerce, Academic sectors etc. However, to
achieve this all the industry giant should come under one platform develop an ISO model of
performance management system to suit industry needs. The organization of company should
design a better system based on the feedback and the annual review to fuel improvement and
reinvent performance management. Steve Brooks‘s (2015) [36] will be useful literature for
studying the history of performance management and carry forward the legacies
