Objectives
The
objectives of performance appraisal are as follows:
1. Salary increase
Performance appraisal plays a
role in making decision about salary increase. Normally salary increase of an
employee depends on how he is performing his job. The hike in salary to
different employees may be according to their efficiency and ranking.
2. Promotion
Performance appraisal plays a
role in making decision about promotion. Normally internal promotion of an
employee depends on how he is performing his job. There is continuous
evaluation of his performance either formally or informally. Most of the
organizations often use a combination of merit and seniority for promotion.
Performance appraisal precedes promotion decision.
3. Training and Development
Performance appraisal tries to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of an employee on his present job. This
information can be used for devising training and developing programmes
appropriate for overcoming weakness of the employees. In fact, many
organisations use performance appraisal as means for identifying training needs
of employees.
4. Feedback
Performance appraisal provides
feedback to employees about their performance. It tells them where they stand.
A person works better when he knows how he is working, how his efforts are contributing
to the achievement of organizational objectives. Besides, if they know their
weakness, they will try to overcome them.
5. Pressure on employees
Performance appraisal puts a sort
of pressure on employees for better performance. If the employees are conscious
that they are being appraised in respect of certain factors and their future
largely depends on such appraisal, they tend to have positive and acceptable
behaviour in this respect. Thus, appraisals can wok automatically as a control
device.
