Download or read book Productivity and the Management of Performance written by Arne Linnemüller and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2005-10-18 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), course: Human Resources 230, language: English, abstract: The term productivity has been used to refer to individual groups, organisational units, entire organisations , industries and national economies. Today, the majority of definitions say that productivity is a measure of outputs divided by inputs. For instance, inputs can be raw materials, energy, etc, whereas outputs can be furniture, cars, services etc. With regard to Human Resource Management the main interest lies in the invested labour and capital in relation to the units produced. By measuring the productivity of an organisation the achieved efficiency can be found out and will show how effectively the invested resources have been used. Generally it can be stated that the higher the ratio, the more efficient are the used inputs. From a business point of view the main organisational goal is to reduce costs until only unavoidable costs remain. Thereby it is essential to realise that an appropriate measurement system in every organisation is crucial. In contrast to productivity, performance refers to the output of an individual employee. The achieved output is compared to determined standards the worker is expected to meet. The units of the standards depend upon the nature of the job and the more complex the job the more difficult it gets to measure the performance. For these more complex jobs performance appraisal systems have been designed which will be discussed later. For instance, p ossible criteria to measure the level of performance of more simple jobs can be the number of produced products, the number of rejects or the wastage of raw materials. However, quantity, quality and time are indicators in any case to measure performance.

Download or read book The Effectiveness of Performance Appraisal Systems Employee Relations and Human Resource Management written by Grace Debrincat and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance Appraisals (PA) is a tool which is associated with employee performance evaluation. Researchers tend to disagree on the effectiveness of these systems. Academics claim that PAs improve employees’ performance through commitment, motivation and output increases, whilst providing an optimal basis for a reward system and training needs. Conversely, it is argued that PAs are flawed from inception since they are subjective, biased and unfair. The study critically assesses research on PAs and their effectiveness towards company goals, whilst identifying a set of criteria to test the extent of their effectiveness. The findings reject the notion that PAs are totally flawed and ineffective. The investigation discloses that HR Practitioners experience difficulties in assessing PAs fairness. The author recommends a number of initiatives to improve appraisees’ productivity as a direct result of PAs outcome, thus ensuring their effectiveness. Although the study reaffirms the scholars’ claim that PAs effectiveness is a very debatable subject, HR Practitioners still consider PAs as vital to manage employee performance throughout the foreseeable future.
