Performance appraisal system operates in which an individual manager regularly, annually records performance and developments in top down process. It can be argued that perceived defects of appraisal system led to development of more sound concepts of performance appraisal. The provision of challenging assignments and regular performance feedback are included in effective performance management system. At the end of the performance period usually a year the supervisor and employee meet to summarize the accomplishments and challenges of the past year and document the discussion using performance management form. In any organization to be effective the resources should be property maintained. The study concentrates on finding whether the current performance management system followed in organization is effective and how far they are satisfied and whether all the employees all aware of performance standards fixed for them and promotions are given based on performance. It also suggests whether any change is required in the existing system.  Success with performance appraisal system relies on good design and implementation. Managing employee performance is an effective mechanism for developing both employee and organization growth. Management and employee involvement in the design/review of a performance management system is important performance appraisal can be redesigned for betterment of performance. Thus performance appraisal is a shared commitment to high performance.

Study level/applicability This case is suitable for undergraduates, MBA students and students from business administration departments in the teaching of human resources management and performance management. Case overview Luodian Electric Power Construction Corporation Group (LEPCC Group) is a state owned enterprise transformed from a construction unit of Luopu Power Supply Bureau (LPSB), a governmental organization in charge of all the electricity supply in Luopu City. The general manager of LEPCC, Gu Ming tried to set up a modern market-oriented management system for LEPCC. Unfortunately the problems that had accumulated in the past two decades during which LEPCC was a governmental organization made his reforms very difficult. The first headache for Gu Ming was the performance appraisal reform in LEPCC. The existing performance appraisal system seemed to have at least three problems in practice: unclear appraisal objectives, an improper assessment system, a different appraisal standard for similar positions. What should Gu Ming do to build a proper performance appraisal system to help the fast-growing LEPCC Group to make LEPCC a competitive market-oriented player? Expected learning outcomes The first objective of this case is to enable students to understand that the issues of working performance are issues of people first, rather than issues of the management system. If the management focuses on the system instead of on the staff of the company to design the performance management system, the system will be fruitless and inefficient. The second objective is to cultivate students' capability to apply the basic theories of human resource management and the knowledge of performance appraisal in case analysis and practical management. This case, seemingly about performance appraisal, is in fact about the organizational structure and processes of the organization. Reform should start with organizational analysis, job analysis and job descriptions. Only when all these have been done correctly, can the performance management system be designed more reasonably, scientifically and efficiently.

Purpose – Performance appraisal is one of the most critical and indispensable human resource practices for organisations. However, it generates dissatisfaction among employees as it is often viewed as complex and ineffective. The purpose of this paper is to present a new performance management system that integrates multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods – the analytic network process (ANP) and PROMETHEE – with the visual techniques of the GAIA plane and the stacked bar chart. MCDA methods allow a structured and consistent evaluation integrating qualitative and quantitative criteria. Design/methodology/approach – The authors developed a structured and transparent performance management system. It is based on the MCDA methods PROMETHEE and ANP. It also incorporates the visual techniques: GAIA and stacked bar chart. Feedback for trainings and developments can precisely be formulated. Findings – Visual techniques permit clear identification and quantification, for each employee, of the areas that need improvement through training and development, which contributes to the resource-based view of organisations. A real case study has been portrayed to show the added value of the MCDA methods and the visual techniques in employee performance management. Originality/value – The paper describes a new employee performance system adopted in an organisation. The multi-criteria analysis transparently combines qualitative and quantitative decision criteria into a holistic and transparent evaluation. The visual techniques permit us to gain a deep insight into the employees’ skills profile and capture fine details where individuals perform or underperform.

The case is about the implementation of a performance management system (PMS) in ALPHA, a gas processing company. ALPHA is also a subsidiary of a multinational company based in Malaysia. The new performance management system was imposed on ALPHA by its parent company. The PMS integrates the following key management processes, i.e. strategic planning, portfolio management, resource allocation, performance measurement and reporting and executive compensation in the organization. The ultimate aim of the new system is to ensure that the focus of business activities is on economic value creation. At the heart of this system is the use of key performance indicators (KPIs) for each of the management processes coupled with performance targets for all the KPIs. However, there were various implementation problems in the company. The employees had difficulty in formulating their performance indicators. There was also confusion and anxiety among the organizational members regarding the new system, specifically on how it would impact on their performance appraisal. Consequently, most of the employees formulated two sets of indicators, one to be used for their performance appraisal and another indicator for the performance management system, which is not used in their evaluation system. Ms. Marinah, the General Manager of the Finance Division and also the person responsible for the implementation of the new performance management system needs to make a decision as to whether to continue the usage of two sets of indicators for the parent company or to brief the managers again about the usage of value based indicators for their appraisal system.

The performance appraisal system in a company has an important role in achieving the target of achieving a job. Employee job satisfaction with the performance appraisal system depends on the level of employee perceptions of the performance appraisal system that applies to their workplace. This research was conducted in a company PT.X which is engaged in the BOPP film industry. The performance appraisal system in the company, based on employee perceptions, is still not effective. Here, the researcher attempted to design a performance appraisal system using the BARS and MBO methods. This research was conducted by means of field surveys, literature studies, and FGDs. The BARS and MBO methods are able to assess employee performance. Where in this method it creates unclear and measurable performance standards, there is no maximum feedback on the performance of employees, often the assessment is subjective, besides the assessment is carried out once a year so that it causes management to experience difficulties in monitoring. In addition, the company only dominantly assesses work activities and behavior, without assessing the work performance of each employee. Whereas here, the company should have carried out an objective performance appraisal, by having clear and measurable assessment standards and being able to provide feedback on employee performance achievements. Thus, researchers recommend using the BARS and MBO methods in the performance appraisal process. This aims to meet the company's needs for employee performance appraisals.

Aiming at the problems of poor system throughput and poor performance appraisal indicators in traditional enterprise employee performance appraisal management systems, a corporate employee performance appraisal management system based on the CS architecture was designed. Firstly, the system architecture of performance appraisal system is built, the system logical architecture design is determined, and the functional modules of the appraisal management system are analyzed. Then, the influencing factors of employee performance appraisal management system are analyzed through the evaluation constraint parameters, and the quantitative regression analysis model of enterprise employee performance appraisal management is constructed to realize the design of enterprise employee performance management software. Finally, the evaluation management system database was built to realize the enterprise employee performance evaluation system’s design based on CS architecture. The experimental results show that this system can improve the throughput of the employee performance appraisal management system and the rationality of enterprise employee appraisal standards. It plays an important role in enterprise employee performance appraisal management.

In the current era of new economy, the competition between enterprises is becoming increasingly fierce. In many performance evaluation tools, EVA’s balance sheet scorecard has gradually become a more convenient management tool for organizations to implement strategies. The introduction of a balanced scorecard (if used properly) in the company’s performance evaluation will greatly improve the management efficiency of the organization and play a better role in promoting the enterprise to achieve the best resource allocation. This article aims to analyze the status quo of the EVA balanced scorecard in the performance appraisal system and its implementation in the enterprise through an overview of the relevant concepts and basic theories such as the balanced scorecard, combined with the theory of enterprise performance evaluation, such as the balanced scorecard. And strategic performance evaluation theory and other related theories established a series of effective management methods that match the EVA balanced scorecard. Use performance management system model calculation and performance evaluation system design to study the role of EVA-based balanced scorecard in building the performance evaluation system. Exploring the EVA balanced scorecard through experimental research can not only really improve the shortcomings and problems of the single performance appraisal system used by enterprises but also make it more in line with the company’s strategic development requirements and promote the realization of the strategy. The goal of the company: the experimental results of this paper show that 80% of the company’s operating conditions in the EVA-based balanced points performance evaluation have increased year by year and also confirmed that the EVA performance management system is a future-oriented performance management system.
