Experiencing Performance Appraisal in a Trust Hospital

By NA - Contemporary performance appraisal (PA) has become an important tool in the overseeing of employees in work. Little of the vast literature however, has focused on its effects on the individual, beyond simple descriptions that inform its management implementation. This article firstly examines the changing nature of employee management under PA, before it investigates the contemporary usage of PA and the effects on women.

Investigation of raters' and ratees' reactions to three methods of perfomance appraisal: BOS, BARS, and GRS Revue Canadienne des Sciences de

By Aharon Tziner, - It was hypothesized that in comparison to a GRS-based performance appraisal and review, behaviour-based (BARS and BOS) appraisals and reviews would generate superior goal properties (e.g., specificity), better goal characteristics (e.g., acceptance), and more favourable user reactions (e.g., ratee satisfaction with the appraisal process). Data from a field experiment involving 46 police sergeants (raters) and their 152 subordinates (ratees) supported almost all of the predictions. Particularly strong evidentiary support was found for the BOS-based performance appraisal and review. These results, as well as recent empirical evidence from other studies, lend credence to the proposition that a BOSbased performance appraisal and review may be superior to other appraisal methods in terms of yielding more favourable attitudinal effects.

NursingCenter - Performance Appraisals

By DONNA L.M. MITCHELL AND ESTHER GREEN - ABSTRACT: To accomplish effective performance reviews and appraisals that respect employee dignity, managers must cultivate a wide range of competencies. Systems are required to observe and collect data, cue and measure observations, and then interpret behavior. Managers regard handling disciplinary problems and criticizing subordinates' performances as the most stressful aspects of their work. Evaluating an employee's performance at an annual meeting is one of the tasks managers most dread. (Added: 24-Apr-2003 Hits: 871 )
