Effective managers in human service organizations, like their counterparts in profit-making enterprises, use performance appraisals as a means of accomplishing several objectives.
Appraisals are an important means of connecting staff performance to the organization's mission and goals. They are helpful in focusing on areas requiring staff improvement and training.
They contribute to decisions requiring disciplinary action or termination.
They also provide feedback on performance that could result in salary increases or staff promotions.
It is difficult to imagine any effective organization not conducting performance appraisals of its staff.
Because appraisals can have such a profound impact on staff performance, effective managers must periodically review the appraisal content and process to determine their usefulness and relevance to both staff and the organization.
APPRAISAL METHODS
Because no universal appraisal format exists, each organization must develop a customized method to meet its special needs and circumstances. In establishing or revising a particular performance system, consider the following questions:
Does it reflect organizational values and goals?
Does it apply qualitative or quantitative standards, or both?
Is it used primarily for analyzing performance or for other purposes such as salary determination, promotions, reassignment, disciplinary action, or layoffs?
Are the performance standards acceptable to directors, supervisors, and staff??
Is the method user-friendly?
Is it both reliable (i.e., consistent over time and across the entire organization) and valid (i.e., does it actually measure what it is intended to measure)?
Is it likely to motivate appropriate behavior?
