Abstract

A positive performance appraisal program begins by establishing as its focal point the improvement of performance in the job now held. Management inaugurates such a program in five steps. First, supervisors and employees agree on the job description and responsibilities. Second, the employees establish performance targets for each of their responsibilities for the forthcoming period. Third, the employees meet with their supervisors to discuss target programs. Fourth, they jointly establish check points for the evaluation of progress along with ways of measuring it. Fifth, supervisors and subordinates meet at the end of the period to discuss results. Hitting the target is not the sole measure of success.
