Book Human Capital

Download or read book Human Capital written by Brenda S. Farrell and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, the DoD began implementing the National Security Personnel System (NSPS) -- a human capital system for DoD civilians. NSPS significantly redesigned the way DoD civilians are hired, compensated, and promoted. This report assessed: (1) the extent to which DoD has implemented certain internal safeguards to ensure the fairness, effectiveness, and credibility of NSPS, and monitored their implementation; and (2) how DoD civilian personnel perceive NSPS, and the actions DoD has taken to address those perceptions. The report analyzed relevant documents and employee survey results, interviewed DoD officials, and conducted discussion groups with DoD employees at eight locations outside of the continental U.S. Illustrations.

Book Understanding the High Performance Workplace

Download or read book Understanding the High Performance Workplace written by Neal M. Ashkanasy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks the crucial question: When does high performance supervision become abusive supervision? As more organizations push to adopt high performance work practices (HPWP), the onus increasingly falls on supervisors to do whatever it takes to maximize the productivity of their work teams. In this rigorous, research-based volume, international contributors offer insight into how and when seemingly-beneficial workplace practices cross the line from motivation to abuse. By reviewing critical issues in both high performance work practices and abusive supervision, it illuminates the crossover between these two modes of work, and forges a path for future scholarship.

Book Performance Management Systems

Download or read book Performance Management Systems written by Arup Varma and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-28 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance management is the process by which organizations set goals, determine standards, assign and evaluate work, and distribute rewards. But when you operate across different countries and continents, performance management strategies cannot be one dimensional. HR managers and line managers need systems that can be applied to a range of cultural values. This important and timely text offers a truly global perspective on performance management practices. Split into two parts, it illustrates the key themes of rater motivation, rater-ratee relationships and merit pay, and outlines a model for a global appraisal process. This model is then screened through a range of countries, including Germany, Japan, the US, Turkey, China, India and Mexico. Using case studies and discussion questions, and written by local experts, this text outlines the tools needed to understand and ‘measure’ performance in a range of socio-economic and cultural contexts. It is essential reading for students and practitioners alike working in human resources, international business and international management.

Book The Impact of Performance Management System Characteristics on Perceived Effectiveness of the System and Engagement

Download or read book The Impact of Performance Management System Characteristics on Perceived Effectiveness of the System and Engagement written by Laura M. Ricci and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to comprehensively examine performance management systems to determine the characteristics that are most influential in predicting desirable organizational outcomes. Results of an online survey administered to 159 participants revealed that the four performance management system categories significantly predicted employees’ perceived effectiveness of their performance management system and employee engagement. The activities category was found to be the strongest predictor of perceived effectiveness and employee engagement. Four performance management system characteristics significantly led employees to perceive their performance management system to be effective and be engaged at work. These four performance management system characteristics include systems that focused on the results employees achieved, evaluated employees on their contextual performance, facilitated the construction of individual development plans for employees, and allowed for participative decision making between managers and subordinates. The results suggested that organizations should implement these characteristics into their performance management system to increase perceived effectiveness of the system and employee engagement.

Book excerpt: Over the course of the past few years, teaching, research, and practice has underscored the importance of performance measurement and criterion development as topics of great interest, considerable debate, and some misunderstanding.

Performance Measurement: Current Perspectives and Future Challenges brings together internationally recognized leaders in the field and each examines the subject matter in a way that has never been done--focusing on the dynamic nature of work and the tremendous demands being placed on assessment and measurement as core organizational activities.

The book will be useful to both scientists and practitioners.

The new emphasis on performance appraisal and merit pay calls for a thorough examination of their effectiveness. Pay for Performance is the best resource to date on the issues of whether these concepts work and how they can be applied most effectively in the workplace.

Book Questions for the Record Related to the Implementation of the Department of Defense s National Security Personnel System  NSPS

Download or read book Questions for the Record Related to the Implementation of the Department of Defense s National Security Personnel System NSPS written by Brenda S. Farrell and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides answers to these questions from Solomon Ortiz, U.S. House of Rep.: (1) What steps could have been taken to roll out NSPS in a more orderly and fair fashion and if NSPS continues, what steps should now be taken to move forward? (2) As DoD and OPM leadership hold discussions to determine the overall framework, scope, and timeline of the review, what guidance or suggestions would you give to DoD and OPM to include in the methodology of this study? (3) Under the GS system, an employee steadily moves up through the various grades and can monitor career progression. There appears to be no such similar movement in NSPS; an employee, while receiving pay increases and bonuses, may remain in the same pay band for his/her entire career. If this is a valid concern, how can it be addressed?
