AbstractIn order to successfully implement management by missions (MBM), it is necessary to redesign “traditional” management tools—typically grounded in an MBO philosophy—so that they are oriented toward the corporate purpose. In this chapter, we discuss how to do this on five basic management areas: strategic planning, deployment of objectives, missions’ scorecard, talent development and performance appraisal.

The Relationship

Current study aims to identify the mediating role of demographic variables in the relationship between talent development practices and the employees’ performance. The data was collected from 660 employees from hotel industry across North India, including budget and chain hotels. Partial regression analysis, was used to analyse the data. Perceived effectiveness of all five Talent development practices namely; Employee Welfare and Compensation, Training & Development, Career Advancement and Planning, and Performance Appraisal except work life balance, was found to be positively and significantly related to the Performance of Hotel employees based on their accomplishment of targets, on time, and overall performance. The study concluded that there is no significant mediating effect of demographic variables on the relationship between effectiveness of Talent development practices and performance of employees in hotels.

Appraisal Processes

During the fall 2015 semester, I (i.e., the last author of this response) taught a doctoral seminar on performance appraisal. Although this course was a general survey of research and theory regarding work performance and performance appraisal processes and methods, we also talked extensively about the value of performance ratings to organizations, raters, and ratees. It was indeed serendipitous that this focal article came out when it did. As part of the final examination requirements (and, admittedly, as a pedagogical experiment), I asked the six PhD students in this course (i.e., the first six authors of this response) to read and respond to the Adler et al. (2016) debate regarding the relative merits of performance ratings. To highlight the perspectives of this next generation of industrial and organizational psychologists, I have collected here various representative comments offered by each of these emerging scholars on this issue.

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the role of human resource (HR) analytics on employees’ willingness to improve performance. In doing so, the paper examines issues related to the performance appraisal (PA) system which affect employees’ willingness to improve performance and how HR analytics can be a potential solution to deal with such issues. Design/methodology/approachThe paper develops a conceptual framework along with propositions by integrating both academic and practitioner literatures, in the field of HR analytics and performance management. FindingsThe paper proposes that the use of HR analytics will be negatively related to subjectivity bias in the PA system, thereby positively affecting employees’ perceived accuracy and fairness. This further positively affects employees’ satisfaction with the PA system, which subsequently increases employees’ willingness to improve performance. Research limitations/implicationsThe paper provides implications for both researchers and practitioners in the performance management area for improving employees’ performance by applying HR analytics as a strategic tool in the PA system. It also provides implications for future researchers to empirically test the conceptual framework in different organizational settings. Originality/valueThe paper offers insights into how the use of HR analytics can deal with issues of subjectivity bias in the PA system and positively affects employees’ willingness to improve performance.

Nowadays, most Cloud applications are developed using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) or MicroService Architecture (MSA). The scalability and performance of them is achieved by executing multiple instances of its components in different nodes of a virtualization cluster. Initially, they were deployed in Virtual Machines (VMs) but, they required enough computational, memory, network and storage resources to hold an Operating System (OS), a set of utilities, libraries, and the application component. By deploying hundreds of these application components, the resource requirements increase a lot. To minimize them, usually small footprint OS are used. Later, as management tools were improved, the application components began to be deployed in Containers which require even less resources than VMs. Another way to reduce the resource requirements is integrating the application components in a Unikernel. This article proposes a Unikernel called MUK, based on a multiserver OS, to be used as a tool to integrate Cloud application components. MUK was built to run in user-space inside a Container of a Distributed Virtualization System. Both technologies facilitate the scattering of application components in a virtualization cluster keeping the isolation properties and minimal attack surface of a Unikernel.

The indicator achievement of minimum service standard (MSS) for the accuracy of distributingdrugs in Pharmacy Unit of Keluarga Sehat Hospital has not been achieved, even the incidence ofthe distributionerror from 2013 to 2016 continues to increase. The purpose of this researchwas to analyze the quality control process in the implementation of MSS in Pharmacy Unit of Keluarga Sehat Hospital. This was a qualitative research, with research subject 3pharmacy officers and 3 people of pharmacy management services.Data collectedby in-depth interview and observation of pharmaceutical performance report data and analysed by content analysis. The result of the research showed that the evaluation of pharmacy staff performance has not been implemented, because there is no performance appraisal indicator yet. Comparison was done only by comparing reports with general target, medical support manager double job resulted in no feedback to Pharmacy Unit, and so it has not supported the implementation of MSS. The Improvement of performancehas not been implementedand has notfound the concept of improvement. The new management will attempt to conduct a comparative study, including pharmacy installation into the Quality Control Group (GKM) or Problem Solving for Better Health (PSBH), find the cause of the problem and develop the policy. It can be concluded that the quality control of the MSS in the Pharmacy Unit still not going well and need to be improved especially related to quality performance appraisal and performance improvement based on the SOP.

Objective: The present study had the purpose of analyzing variables that directly influence the strategic planning of the Pro-Rectory Student (PROEST) of the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL) using scenario building management tools.  Methodology: The research is exploratory and applied with the use of survey, documentary, bibliographic, questionnaires and interviews with the civil servants, managers and students in a quali-quanti cross-sectional analysis with scenario focusing on the scenario from the SWOT matrix and survey of priority actions from the perspective of the target audience  Originality: The application of scenario analysis tools, using the SWOT matrix as a guide and delimiter of the planning of actions to be developed by the UFAL, enables a new perception of the academic unit in relation to problem situations and management focus.Main results: Students in a situation of socioeconomic vulnerability glimpse a greater amount of actions aimed at direct transfer of resources, which is justified due to the difficulties faced daily by these students who use these resources to maintain their activities at the University and in self and family support; on the other hand, the SWOT matrix presents a scenario of offensive weakness where the unit does not have internal organizational capacity related to the totality of PNAES actions.  Theoretical Contributions: The adoption of scenario analysis tools enables the integrationbetween planning and operation of the strategic process in the construction of multiannual planning with the use of configurations and awareness of characteristics for effective deliberation, including the best paths after organizational diagnosis analysis.
