Abstract Nowadays, due to the social and economic changes, the human is already the main resource which determines the successfulness of corporations. The expertise in managing the human resources is a key factor of competitiveness therefore it has become a strategic question. Primary aim of the treatise is to outline the most important principles, targets and peculiarities of performance management system, which is a central element of human resource management, as well as its interconnectedness with the individual performance evaluation and human resource development through the mirror of one of today’s biggest Hungarian economic corporations. We aimed to explore, by means of document analysis as well as methods of case study and interview, how the targets of performance management are used for increasing the economic productivity, preserving the competitiveness, retaining and enhancing the satisfaction of workers. It can be stated that the PM system was continuously improved in case of the organization examined because the corporate goals and the expected performances were adjusted to the changing market demands over time but, at the same time the goal of differentiation has remained unchanged. Each worker evaluates his/her performance individually, the base of which is the extent of contribution to the corporate results. Based on the results, it can overall be stated that such a well-functioning performance management system is applied in the operating unit of the corporation examined which is strongly supported by the organizational culture and which contributes to the joint fulfilment of personal as well as organizational goals.

Purpose – This paper aims to consider how and to what extent it is possible to interpret a performance management system (PMS) as a typical control mechanism or in a more innovative way as a learning tool. PMSs are typically used for planning and coordination purposes. However, they may also be used as an opportunity to foster learning inside the organization. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical analysis was carried out during January-May 2014. A single case study was developed, in the first phase, through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with three top managers, to investigate the purpose and rationale of the design of the PMS. The investigation then continued with non-participant observation. Findings – The picture shows the dominance of “command and control” thinking, based on a cybernetic control system connected to targets and linking the achievement of these targets to individual performance. Practical implications – This paper helps to contextualize reflections on PMSs and potential learning outcomes in knowledge organizations, with specific reference to the airport industry. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the extant debate on the relationship between PMSs and learning. Traditionally, the literature has focused only on particular aspects of PMSs. Other authors, relying on a contingent approach, have instead put forward the need of a more comprehensive and integrated frameworks encompassing organic conception of PMSs, as well as of the interdependencies among their components. In the case study under scrutiny in this paper, adaptive or single-loop learning is taking place, in which adaptive changes occur but do not lead to any major changes.

Performance Management System (PMS) is often used by managers to align the goals of the organization to the goals of their employees, and ensure productivity and efficiency. PMS has always been a crucial function of human resource management. However recent studies have shown that in the long term, the traditional system of performance management damages morale, motivation, teamwork, and stunts creativity and contribution. As a result, companies are doing away with the old ways of performance reviews and are opting for more flexible and efficient processes. This study aims at understanding the deficiencies in the old system and the reasons for adopting more relevant and upcoming trends in the field of performance management.

Performance management has been considered as a critical tool aimed at strategically managing the contribution of human resources. As opposed to mere appraisal of performance, performance management as a process has a more holistic orientation which aims to define, facilitate, measure, and constantly improve performance at the individual, team, and organizational levels. The primary purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions of software professionals regarding certain performance management process dimensions (viz., performance planning, feedback, and employee participation in the process); system knowledge and justice dimensions (viz., procedural, distributive and interactional justice with respect to the performance management system) and their potential inter-relationship. The study was carried out on a sample of 341 software professionals in four software firms in the NCR region. Three survey instruments, i.e., perception of performance management process dimensions questionnaire, perceived system knowledge questionnaire, and perception of organizational justice dimensions questionnaire, were designed and used for the study. Results revealed that: Software professionals of all the four organizations were fairly satisfied with performance planning and their participation in performance management process; but only moderately satisfied with feedback. Perceived system knowledge of the software professionals was moderate. They perceived the performance management systems to be interactionally just to a large extent, but pointed towards a need for improvement on procedural and distributive dimensions. Significant positive correlation was seen between justice dimensions, performance management process dimensions, and perceived system knowledge. Inter-correlations within performance management process dimensions and justice dimensions were also positive and significant. Stepwise multiple regression analysis suggested feedback as the most significant predictor that explained maximum variance in each of the justice dimensions, viz., procedural, distributive, and interactional justice. The other two predictors were perceived system knowledge and employee participation in performance management process. Findings of this research have significant implications for HR practitioners. Feedback, perceived system knowledge and their participation in performance management process were found to be significant variables influencing their perceptions regarding fairness of the system and hence, may need specific attention especially in the software industry context. Strong inter-relationship was found amongst all dimensions relating to performance management process; perceived system knowledge, and justice dimensions pointing towards the significance of an integrated and systemic approach towards the process and have significant implications for improving the overall design, implementation, and outcomes of the performance management system.
