Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance appraisals for government employees has been a contentious topic for scholars for several decades. Contradictory information regarding performance appraisal effectiveness has added to the skepticism felt by participants. Performance appraisals were first introduced to the public sector by President Carter through the Civil Reform Act. The goal of appraisals was initially dependent upon the type of work being performed. Executive-level employee appraisals to be based on both the performance of the individual and the organization's performance. Non-executive employees were to connect individual performance with the agency's objectives. The ultimate goal was to create a system to assess employee performance and advance the operational functions of the organization. The proposed study aims to analyze factors associated with employee perceptions of performance appraisals in the public sector and to help identify key factors that aid or impede appraisal effectiveness. Using surveys and interviews, quantitative and qualitative data can be gathered from current federal, state, and local government employees who were participate in the appraisal process. This study can provide insight on the perceptions of appraisals and identify if they provide any value to public organizations.
Download or read book Outcome Based Performance Management in the Public Sector written by Elio Borgonovi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the use of an outcome-oriented view of performance to frame and assess the desirability of the effects produced by adopted policies, so to allow governments not only to consider effects in the short, but also the long run. Furthermore, it does not only focus on policy from the perspective of a single unit or institution, but also under an inter-institutional viewpoint. This book features theoretical and empirical research on how public organizations have evolved their performance management systems toward outcome measures that may allow one to better deal with wicked problems. Today, ‘wicked problems’ characterize most of governmental planning involving social issues. These are complex policy problems, underlying high risk and uncertainty, and a high interdependency among variables affecting them. Such problems cannot be clustered within the boundaries of a single organization, or referred to specific administrative levels or ministries. They are characterized by dynamic complexity, involving multi-level, multi-actor and multi-sectoral challenges. In the last decade, a number of countries have started to develop new approaches that may enable to improve cohesion, to effectively deal with wicked problems. The chapters in this book showcase these approaches, which encourage the adoption of more flexible and pervasive governmental systems to overcome such complex problems. Outcome-Based Performance Management in the Public Sector is divided into five parts. Part 1 aims at shedding light on problems and issues implied in the design and implementation of “outcome-based” performance management systems in the public sector. Then Part 2 illustrates the experiences, problems, and evolving trends in three different countries (Scotland, USA, and Italy) towards the adoption of outcome-based performance management systems in the public sector. Such analyses are conducted at both the national and local government levels. The third part of the book frames how outcome-based performance management can enhance public governance and inter-institutional coordination. Part 4 deals with the illustration of challenges and results from different public sector domains. Finally the book concludes in Part 5 as it examines innovative methods and tools that may support decision makers in dealing with the challenges of outcome-based performance management in the public sector. Though the book is specifically focused on a research target, it will also be useful to practitioners and master students in public administration .
Download or read book Performance Appraisals in the Public Sector written by George L. Morrisey and published by Addison Wesley Publishing Company. This book was released on 1983 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The use of performance appraisal as an effective management tool is the focus of this informative, easy-to-understand supervisor's guide. Management-by-objective (MBO) principles on which performance appraisal is based and benefits of an effective appraisal process (i.e. ongoing employee development, increased communication between managers and employees) are presented. Three sets of skills required by supervisors for effective performance appraisal are development of appraisal measurement criteria, interpersonal communications, and documentation. Appraisal models that include a broad range of applications are described. Guidelines are provided for developing an appraisal model that can be adapted to fit the job requirements of any organization or individual. Special concerns related to performance appraisal in government are discussed and specific directions are given for meeting appraisal requirements in the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA). Components of the formal development interview process include preparation steps, conducting and evaluating the interview, follow-up responsibilities, and summary. An important feature of the guide is a series of articles written by practicing professionals based on actual work experiences. Topics include 1) the importance of documentation in performance appraisal, 2) tailoring performance appraisal systems under CSRA, 3) integrating performance appraisal with MBO, and 4) the evolution of a MBO-based appraisal system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance appraisal is a key tool for meeting the managerial needs of the modern organization. Daley examines the entire process of designing a performance appraisal system from determining its organizational purpose to constructing an objective appraisal instrument for measuring employee performance. Emphasis is also placed on the role of employee feedback and appraisal training. The cognitive behavior that shapes and influences the rating process is detailed. The book integrates the literature and practices detailed in business management, psychology, and sociology with that focusing on the public sector. After an overview of performance appraisal research and the effect of public-private differences, Daley examines the reasons for performance appraisal and the basic mechanics--why?, what?, when?, who?--of establishing an appraisal process. Special emphasis is placed on the role of performance appraisal in the organization. He looks at the array of appraisal instruments that exists concentrating on the development of objective Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales and Management by Objectives approaches. The role of employee feedback and the performance appraisal interview for delivering it are detailed. Daley focuses on the problems that plague raters. Organizational and employee misunderstandings along with traditional rater error problems are diagnosed. The importance of programs for training the rater are presented. An ideal resource for managers engaged in performance appraisal, this book can also serve as a supplemental reading for courses in management and human resources/personnel.
