Yes,
Firstly, employees during performance appraisal think they are above average since an organization has recorded an additional profit. As a result, the employees ignore managers’ comments about the need for more productive purposely to meet the targeted objectives. The employees attach their productivity outcomes to increasing organization productivity. However, the employees should be well informed that the attainment of desired objectives indicates their work productivity is remarkable.
Secondly, the employees think their productivity is above the average when the average output per employee has increased. Thus, employees expect additional incentives to acknowledge their performance. However, reasons such as teamwork and favorable work policies account for why their productivity has increased. On the contrary, the employees should be informed that working in distinctive teams should result in more outstanding performance.
A new performance appraisal method
To avoid employees’ misstatement that their productivity is above the average, I would design management under the objective performance appraisal method. Management under an objective appraisal system guide managers to evaluate employees’ performance against an organization’s objective. Thus, the employees’ claim for having attained results above average would be determined by the attainment of targeted objectives rather than an increase in productivity.
To design management under an objective appraisal system, I would first determine the organization’s long term objectives especially probability and productivity. Thereafter, I would engage employees to inform them about the new criteria for determining the new method of measuring their performance. For remembrance purposes, I would include the new appraisal system in the company’s bronchus and advertisement board.
The benefit of management under the objective appraisal system is that it reduces conflict of interest between employees and employers. This is because it serves objective criteria for determining employees’ performance. As a result, the employees are empowered for claiming additional incentives upon the attainment of the company’s objectives. Failure to do so, the employees are corroborative to the employers’ measures to improve their productivity via training programs or teamwork.
Another added advantage of management under the objective appraisal system is that it motivates employees. The employees are motivated to achieve clear and predetermined objectives. As a result, an organization implements an admirable culture marked by employees who are self-driven and self-motivated.
