Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides managers, leaders and practitioners with a dynamic framework that links several variables associated with performance management which can be applied across organizations and industries worldwide. Based on empirical evidence and experiences, this book provides a critical understanding of the interrelationship of organizational culture with performance management process (PMP) planning and implementation. The elements of the framework are approached from a macro-level-view and are balanced with conciseness and realism based on applied success studies, making this book a valuable educational, training and development resource tool for leaders and managers at all levels. The topic of performance in organizations is like the weather—everyone likes to talk about it, but few understand what is truly happening—or understand why? Individuals and organizations are no different when it comes to performance, regardless of performance level of focus: individual, team, unit, or organization-wide. Teams and organizations often miss opportunities to not only improve performance, but also leverage and sustain high performance. Organizational performance, organizational culture and organizational success are interrelated and should reinforce one another. This can be achieved through an effective performance management process (PMP) that lives, functions and thrives at multiple levels within institutions. This book will help organizations and institutions achieve performance management success by identifying comment elements, along with some patterned variation, that are applicable to a successful PMP. Featuring hands-on resource reference tools for immediate use and application, this book is useful for leaders, managers, scholars, students and policy makers in management, leadership, and organizational culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Stories of Achievements, Herve Corvellec explains performance as a matter of telling, recounting, and communicating an organization's actions or the results of those actions. He describes how organizations work with the notion of performance and examines its connections with efficiency and competition. Corvellec begins with an assessment of management literature, discussing the various ways different professions define performance. What is considered to be performance in one profession may be at odds with its definition in another. The author examines what performance means in the world of sports, and provides a look at performance throughout sports history. He then draws parallels between sports and organizations, detailing similarities and differences between performance and the notions of competitions, measurement and hierarchy. This study covers particular aspects of the notion of performance - linguistic, semantic, theoretical, logical, historical, and narrative. Drawing on various methodologies, each chapter represents a smaller study of how performance is manifested in a particular context. Together, they provide a general presentation of how the notion of performance is used in organizations, where it comes from, and what is meant by performance in general managerial discourse. Stories of Achievements will be engrossing reading for management, accounting, and organization professionals, as well as sociologists interested in the study of economic organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The test of a good theory of motivation of employees is its workability in the organizational environment. Motivated behavior must contribute to the ends of the enterprise. The understanding of motivational theory, coupled with discussion of management practice and attitudes, allows the organization to point out obsolete thinking and inadequate management behavior. The goal-achievement process is comprised of conditions, opportunities and media for motivation. Within a goal-setting system, the organization and individual goals can be integrated through a general, organizational model in which abilities and performance are measured. Long- and short-range goals, set by both managers and emplyees within the organizational structure, provide a standard of achievement and criterion for success through which meaning is placed on jobs and motivation increased.

This book was released on 1997-04-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total quality management (TQM), reengineering, the workplace of the twenty-first centuryâ€"the 1990s have brought a sense of urgency to organizations to change or face stagnation and decline, according to Enhancing Organizational Performance. Organizations are adopting popular management techniques, some scientific, some faddish, often without introducing them properly or adequately measuring the outcome. Enhancing Organizational Performance reviews the most popular current approaches to organizational changeâ€"total quality management, reengineering, and downsizingâ€"in terms of how they affect organizations and people, how performance improvements can be measured, and what questions remain to be answered by researchers. The committee explores how theory, doctrine, accepted wisdom, and personal experience have all served as sources for organization design. Alternative organization structures such as teams, specialist networks, associations, and virtual organizations are examined. Enhancing Organizational Performance looks at the influence of the organization's norms, values, and beliefsâ€"its cultureâ€"on people and their performance, identifying cultural "levers" available to organization leaders. And what is leadership? The committee sorts through a wealth of research to identify behaviors and skills related to leadership effectiveness. The volume examines techniques for developing these skills and suggests new competencies that will become required with globalization and other trends. Mergers, networks, alliances, coalitionsâ€"organizations are increasingly turning to new intra- and inter-organizational structures. Enhancing Organizational Performance discusses how organizations cooperate to maximize outcomes. The committee explores the changing missions of the U.S. Army as a case study that has relevance to any organization. Noting that a musical greeting card contains more computing power than existed in the entire world before 1950, the committee addresses the impact of new technologies on performance. With examples, insights, and practical criteria, Enhancing Organizational Performance clarifies the nature of organizations and the prospects for performance improvement. This book will be important to corporate leaders, executives, and managers; faculty and students in organizational performance and the social sciences; business journalists; researchers; and interested individuals.

Book excerpt: Chapter FivePerformance measurement influenceseffectivenessPerformance means understanding as achievement of the organization in relation with its set goals. It may include outcomes achieved, or accomplished through contribution of individuals or teams to the organization's strategic goals. It brings this question whether effective performance measurement can raise the organization's effectiveness. Performance has a linkage with the individual potential and how best it is realized by the individual organization needs performance measurement because it needs to measure every employee individual job behavior in order to evaluate whether his/her performance is acceptable to either raise salary/ wage or keep the same level salary/wage or appreciate to promote higher or senior position or unemploy ( fire) the employee, when his/her performance is poor or unacceptable task level to earn this position level's reward with regard to manage. The employee's potential becomes the input to the productive process and performance is the out. It seems that when the one organization has many good performance employees number, then its effectiveness can not be improved to be better to compare the another similar industry organization has less good performance employees number , then its effectiveness can not improve to be better. The actua reason many include any company is one cooperative organization, it needs different teams or departments' members , workers, staffs to participate to work in low, middle, top level organizational structure. Hence, one organizational behavior can not be influenced only by one employee individual behavior or performance. The organization's overall performance or effectiveness ought be influenced by group ( team) and organizational purpose, group ( team) or organization capacities and resources, human climate in the group or team or the organization, the ( team) group every member personal performance quality, efficient level , productive level. So, organization needs to consider how to make reasonable or fair feedback on group ( team) overall performance. It does not only consider how to make reasonable or fair feedback on the top or middle level management employee individual performance only and it neglects to consider the low level employee individual performance measurement.There are three abilities in an individual are said to be essential for performance achievement to evaluate whether the employee individual performance to excellent , good, common, poor level. They include the employee individual desire or motivation himself/herself ability, knowledge or know-how quality or action to actualize ability. Hence, one excellent performance employee whom ought have these above personal quality or ability characteristics, then he/she can perform the esscellent job performance. If the team or group or department owns the employees whom own above these abilities , then group, team, department's effectiveness will be improved, or efficiency can be raised, or productive growth can be raised more easily. However, effective performance measurement model was based mainly on financial measures and considered as one component of the planning and control cycle view, it is based on multipl non financial measures where performance measurement acts as an independent process includes in a set of activities.
