FREE online courses on Performance and Potential Appraisal - What is to be
appraised
Every organization has to decide upon the content to be
appraised before the programme is approved. Generally, the content to be
appraised is determined on the basis of job analysis. The content to be
appraised may be in the form of contribution to organizational objectives
(measures) like production, savings in terms of cost, return on capital, etc.
Other measures are based on: (1) behaviors which measure observable physical
actions, movements, (2) objectives which measure job related results like amount
of deposits mobilized, and (3) traits which are measured in terms of personal
characteristics observable in employee's job activities. The content to be
appraised may vary with the purpose of appraisal and type and level of
employees.
