The design of compensation systems and performance evaluation are subject to subjective influences by the compensation authority. The ex-post adjustment of performance measures is one way of adjusting compensation if an uncontrollable event has affected the achievement targeted. Clawback clauses are intended to reduce manipulation in reporting by allowing compensation that has already been paid out or promised to be reclaimed. Whether ex-post adjustments or clawback clauses are exercised is at the discretion of the compensation authority. This dissertation therefore uses experiments to investigate the effect of the relationships between the design and exercise of discretion on employee behaviour.

In this Chapter, a MATLAB-based approach is presented for compression of Electrocardiogram (ECG) data. The methodology employs in three different domains namely direct, transformed and parameter extraction methods. The selected techniques from direct ECG compression methods are TP, AZTEC, Fan, and Cortes. Moreover selected techniques from transformed ECG compression methods are Walsh Transform, DCT, and Wavelet transform. For each of the technique, the basic implementation of the algorithm was explored, and performance measures were calculated. All 48 records of MIT-BIH arrhythmia ECG database were employed for performance evaluation of various implemented techniques. Moreover, based on requirements, any basic techniques can be selected for further innovative processing that may include the lossless encoding.

Several reasons have been offered for the depressed values of coefficients of correlation between performance evaluation scores and test scores for tests that otherwise seem to have high validity. Most of these studies have concerned themselves with only the first year performance measure. This study was undertaken to broadbase the validity design by including performance measures of three subsequent years. Data on the test and performance scores of a sample of executives were analysed. The results indicate that though test scores may not show significant relationship with the first year performance appraisal score, they show positive and significant relationship with subsequent performance appraisal scores. The results are explained in terms of changed performance evaluation.

ABSTRACT Firms often evaluate subordinate performance relative to a difficult but attainable goal set at the beginning of the evaluation period. For many, a mechanism exists by which these goals may be adjusted downward at the end of the period to account for an uncontrollable negative event. We examine, experimentally, how the knowledge that a downward ex post discretionary goal adjustment is possible affects subordinates' expectancy of reward and performance in periods where a negative uncontrollable event occurs, and whether high identity, defined as high perceived social connectedness between the superior and subordinate, moderates this effect. We find that high superior-subordinate identity can offset the otherwise negative impact of the potential for downward ex post discretionary goal adjustment on subordinates' expectancy of reward and performance. Thus, creating an organizational culture that promotes identity between superiors and subordinates can complement incentive-based controls in motivating subordinate performance.

The goal of the study is to verify whether the performance measures are mediating variables between the importance of strategic resources and performance evaluation in Brazilian companies. Specifically, the study investigates the perceptions of managers regarding the importance of traditional and nontraditional performance measures and human capital, structural and physical strategic resources in Brazilian companies. In the study is replicated the research conducted by Widener (2006) in North American companies. Thus, a survey was conducted with the managers of the companies listed in BMFBovespa at levels 1 and 2 of Corporate Governance. Descriptive statistics and factor analysis were applied in data analysis. The results show that managers attribute importance to various performance measures, but the descriptive statistics shows that the greatest importance is attributed to traditional return and financial measures. Among the strategic resources, human capital stands as the most important resource for companies analyzed, followed by structural capital and physical capital. From the relations established in the research, it is concluded that the performance measures are mediating variables between the importance of strategic resources and performance evaluation, in the perception of managers, which is consistent with the search results of Widener (2006) in North American companies.

ABSTRACT We examine the impact of identity preferences on the interrelation between incentives and performance measurement. In our model, a manager identifies with an organization and loses utility to the extent that his actions conflict with effort-standards issued by the principal. Contrary to prior arguments in the literature, we find conditions under which a manager who identifies strongly with the organization receives stronger incentives and faces more performance evaluation reports than a manager who does not identify with the organization. Our theory predicts that managers who experience events that boost their identification with the firm can decrease their effort in short-term value creation. We also find that firms are more likely to employ less precise but more congruent performance measures, such as stock prices, when contracting with managers who identify little with the organization. In contrast, they use more precise but less congruent measures, such as accounting earnings, when contracting with managers who identify strongly with the firm.
