Performance appraisal is an important issue in human resource management and has a significant effect in the performance of an organisation. It is the system of evaluating the performance of employees regarding the accomplishment of their responsibilities and determining their potential to grow and develop. Bias in the evaluation process can affect the accuracy and appropriateness of the performance appraisal. Bias is a serious issue because it affects the ability to make appropriate decisions about the promotion of employees. A performance appraisal system that works to the disadvantage of members of a group can also pose legal issues.

Performance appraisal is a method which is increasingly used to evaluate employees to determine the degree to which they are performing effectively and encourage them to direct their energies towards organizational performance. Although the appraisal is being practiced, there are criticisms made against the system which generally arise from within the Orthodox and radical management frame work.

Development of a performance appraisal system that is effective in a human service organization is of benefit for the organization and the employees. For a performance appraisal system to be effective, the system has to be strategic, designed to fit the specific needs of the organization, non-discriminatory, non-bias, with correct implementation and administration. Many different components, must to be incorporated to make this type of system beneficial for all who use it, and all who are evaluated by the system.

The μ will be the population average mean annual income, x ̅ be the sample mean average income, and σ be the population standard deviation of income.

During the simulation, my favorite moment is after every quarters as we have to check our market share and sales, because in our simulation business world, within the 4 companies we all know that our team is not the best in the simulation business world but we never beat ourselves about it but in fact, we laughed and start making joke of how our market share was so small compared to others.

159). The evaluation process provides employees the opportunity to give a self-appraisal. Through these appraisals, an employee could justify a salary increase. It is also the time to discuss future plans, goals, aspirations, and career growth. Together with Laura, an employee would decide on goals and objectives for the next review period (Southwell, 2015, Unit 4). In the article “A Discourse Analytical Perspective on the Professionalization of the Performance Appraisal Interview,” the authors discuss how performance appraisal interviews between managers and their employees can resemble a therapy or counseling session (Van De Mieroop & Vrolix, 2014, p. 160). “Performance appraisal, in general, and performance appraisal interviews, in particular, were once rather basic communication processes, but nowadays institutions and organizations increasingly invest resources in them and this results in a growing professionalization of this genre” (Van De Mieroop & Vrolix, 2014, p.

There are so many focuses or themes that I might construct on my individual paper on ‘Developing high performance working’. One of them is functions of performance management; this will include strategic, administrative and the developmental. According to (Baron and Armstrong, 1998 cited in Bloisi, 2007:254), they “emphasise and integrated nature of performance management”. The second one is the administrative function; several organisations nowadays use performance management to evaluate employees about their salaries, retentions, redundancies and individual performance. Lastly, the developmental function should enable managers to identify where employees are not performing well and how they can improve it. Additionally, I will be explaining the performance appraisal and how does it process. According to (Bloisi, 2007:259), performance appraisal is the “process of measuring and evaluating employees’ performance. It can be a useful tool for employee development”. Dealing with poor performance is another topic that I will include in my individual paper; managers have to identify employees with poor performance, so they can take an action on them. Lastly, I will include performance management and how managers can administrate performance within the

In the marketplace business fundamentals simulation, I was asked to create a company that sells computers with specified components in which a certain target market requested. I created a company named MEGA Intel Computers and my target market was the Workhorse and Mercedes segments. During the first quarter, I was required to decide on corporate responsibilities, review market research, design two brands (MEGA One and MEGA Two), establish corporate and strategic goals, and open a sales office, as well as build a plant for manufacturing. During this quarter I focused on keeping expenses minimal but resourceful since manufacturing was just beginning.

As stated by Peter F. Drucker, “Management is about human beings. Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their strengths effective and their weaknesses irrelevant.” Performance management is essential to achieving an organization 's mission statement and business goals, and also in attracting, retaining, and motivating qualified employees. There are many benefits and reasons why an organization should execute a performance management system. Performance appraisals establish the basis for qualifying, recognizing, and rewarding employee contributions. In this paper, I will discuss what performance management is, the problems with the current performance management system at my organization, how other organizations have succeeded in their performance management system and how I would advise management at my current organization to improve our performance management system.

The Article Simulations Brought to Life is about how the advancement of technology, especially in the realm of augmented reality is assisting nursing students in the UK in their education. Special software will make an ordinary manikin seem like a real patient, thus making the scenario more realistic. This will definitely help nursing students with their interpersonal skills. According to Brailsford, “The patient explains their condition and history to the student. Students are encouraged to react to the manikin as they would to a patient. They can demonstrate the outward manifestations of care, compassion and dignity while engaging in complex clinical scenarios based on real patient situations” (page 64).

Performance management is one of the most important activities of HR. It is not enough to simply go through the business as usual and much disliked annual exercise of assessing performance and driving rewards based on a performance assessment. The information system will be drive and modifies goals as needed, assesses performance against goals, and provides instant feedback which will give them an indication of their strength and weaknesses thus focusing on skill development and motivate employees to stay with the organisation. However this may lead to Substitution of individual judgments and Challenge the nature of an organisation and the role of management

"Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand."

We also considered a simulation setting where the magnitude of differential expression among the set of differentially expressed genes was reduced. Moreover, we simulated a setting where we introduced an effect of a hidden variable which does not act as a confounder. The above-mentioned schemes are described

Over the years, simulation has had a role in teaching various skills in negotiation, ranging from negotiations between developing countries, multinational corporations, multilateral trade scenarios, and bilateral talks about security issues. In Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and business management training. Simulation is an exercise often used to train diplomats and international negotiators. Gilbert R. Winham (2002) stated that, negotiation as a human behavior required both intellectual and applied skills, and as a methodology, it can exclusively provide training for various requirements in various fields. Simulation is also structured in a way that advances the level of understanding of students in negotiation processes and

Performance appraisal process if made clear and transparent can help a lot to avert low morale in employees. Fair, trustworthy, and transparent processes for performances management and resource allocation help to meet people’s drive to defend.
