“EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM AND ITS EFFECTIVENESS


IN
BSES YAMUNA POWER LIMITED”

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Since organization exist to achieve goals, the degree of success that individual

employees have in reaching their individuals goals is important in determining

organizational effectiveness. The assessment of how successful employees have

been at meeting their individual goals, therefore, becomes a critical part of HRM.

This leads us to the topic of performance appraisal.

There are basically three purposes to which performance appraisal can be put.

 First, it can be used as a basis for reward allocations. Decisions as to who

gets salary increases, promotions, and other rewards are determined by their

performance evaluation.

 Second, these appraisals can be used for identifying areas where

development efforts are needed. Management needs to spot those

individuals who have specific skill or knowledge deficiencies. The

performance appraisal is a major tool for identifying these deficiencies.

 Finally the performance appraisal can be used as a criterion against which

selection devices and development programs are validated. It is one thing to

say, for example, that our selection process is successful in differentiating

satisfactory performers from unsatisfactory performers.


INTRODUCTION

Performance appraisal may be defined as a structured formal interaction

between a subordinate and supervisor, that usually takes the form of a periodic

interview (annual or semi-annual), in which the work performance of the

subordinate is examined and discussed, with a view to identifying weaknesses

and strengths as well as opportunities for improvement and skills development.

In many organizations - but not all - appraisal results are used, either directly or

indirectly, to help determine reward outcomes. That is, the appraisal results are

used to identify the better performing employees who should get the majority of

available merit pay increases, bonuses, and promotions.

By the same token, appraisal results are used to identify the poorer performers

who may require some form of counseling, or in extreme cases, demotion,

dismissal or decreases in pay. (Organizations need to be aware of laws in their

country that might restrict their capacity to dismiss employees or decrease pay.)

Whether this is an appropriate use of performance appraisal - the assignment

and justification of rewards and penalties - is a very uncertain and contentious

matter.
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY
