Effective Performance Management Appraisal Methods – Traditional vs. Modern Approaches For the Week 8 Assignment, you are tasked with drafting a research paper of at least five (5) full pages of content for an organization of at least 1,000 employees. The topic for this assignment is effective performance appraisal methods. For this assignment, you are the corporate HR compensation manager. As such, you oversee job evaluation and classification, performance measurement, and compensation. For purposes of your research, you may choose from three different industries:
Based on the industry selected, consider three or more job categories most commonly employed at your organization. Based on these job categories, which performance appraisal methodology would be appropriate, in your opinion, for each job category identified and why? Whatever you decide, you must explain your choice(s) by job category and justify your answer(s). Your choices are:
Traditional Methods of Performance Appraisal Critical incident Method Forced Choice or Ranking Method Free Form Essay Method Graphic Rating Scales Paired Comparison Method Modern Methods of Performance Appraisal 360-Degree Feedback Assessment Centers Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS) Management by Objectives (MBO) Self-Evaluation
To be successful, students are required to research and evaluate each of the typical performance appraisal methods listed above. Bear in mind that there is “no one size fits all” performance appraisal method for an organization. Performance appraisal methods used by organizations depend on the industry, the internal classification of the jobs, and the use of performance measurement systems in determining one’s level of productivity and, in turn, level of compensation. Thus, one’s eligibility for recognition and financial reward(s) depends largely on the performance measurement process selected by an organization. This is because an organization hires employees in a variety of job categories, some of which are hourly, while others fall into technical, professional, or management jobs. As such, performance appraisal methods will vary in order to capture the most realistic performance appraisal elements that would apply for a given position.
Helpful Tips: You must support your ideas, arguments, and opinions with independent research, and include at least five (5) supporting references or sources (Note: do not use dictionaries, encyclopedias, Wikipedia, unknown, undated, or anonymous sources, such as brief articles from websites or URLs). In addition, due to the dynamic nature of HRM, your references must be drawn from peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last five (5) years. Significant points will be deducted from assignments that fail to follow these guidelines.
APA Resources: Students are encouraged to go online to Purdue OWL, or Excelsior OWL, which have online writing labs for students (see hyperlinks provided below).
Finally, see the weighted grading rubric in the Gradebook section for specific details on how your assignment will be graded.
