Importance of the performance appraisal for HRM
A performance review is a
periodic assessment of an employee's performance in relation to the skill
standards set by the company. Any type of job can benefit from this method.
It is both one of the most
significant HR practices and one of the subjects that have received the most
research (Fletcher, 2001). According to Fletcher, a performance review should
be viewed as a tool for encouraging and developing employees.
The practice of conducting
regular reviews of employee performance and performance evaluations inside a
business is becoming more and more popular. Performance evaluation is seen as a
crucial component of effective human resource management as a whole because of
its close connection to organizational performance (Erdogan, 2002).
This evaluation is crucial
because it supports decisions regarding employee training and development,
promotions and transfers, layoffs, compensation, career development, and
interpersonal relationships, as well as performance feedback and human resource
planning (Ashima Aggarwal, 2013).
Currently, organizations
evaluate performance using a variety of techniques. They can be divided into
three categories: a result-oriented approach, a judgemental approach, and an
approach based on strict standards. (Dessler, 2012; Bratton, 2012).
· The
judgemental approach system is based on the use of senior
workers' or managers' judgment. Graphical rating scales, forced distribution,
ranking, and paired comparison are the main judgment methods.
· The
absolute standards approach is based on job analysis. The most common
performance evaluation processes in this group are checklists, essays, critical
incidents, and behaviourally anchored rating scales.
· The
results-oriented approach is an alternative to the judgmental and
absolute standards approaches. As the name implies, results-oriented approaches
are based on the evaluation of results, both quantitatively and
qualitatively. In other words, the focus is on what the subordinate must
accomplish on the job rather than considering the subordinate's traits or job
behaviors (Fletcher, 2009; Grote, 2011).
The performance evaluation
system also assists in determining the employee's performance and the abilities
that need to be developed. Following that, management might organize training
for their employees. This will assist managers in assigning the appropriate
workers to the appropriate positions. The outcome of performance reviews has
led to an atmosphere of competition among the workers. The workers then aim to
do better and outperform their co-workers in terms of scores.
Managers can see an
employee's development and choose what steps to take to better themselves by
keeping annual records of their staff members.

However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of performance reviews depends on various factors such as the frequency and quality of feedback, the criteria used for evaluation, and the level of transparency and communication between employees and their managers.
