Evaluation of the Quality Approach The quality approach relies primarily on a combination of the attribute and results approaches to performance measurement. However, traditional performance appraisal systems focus more on individual employee performance, while the quality approach adopts a systems oriented focus. l any companies may be unwilling to completely abandon their traditional performance management system because it serves as the basis for personnel selection validation, identification of training needs, or compen sation decisions, Also, the quality approach advocates evaluation of personal traits(such as cooperation), which are difficult to relate to job performance anless the company has been structured into work teams.
