ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

“Thanking may just be a formality, but if done


inwardly, it surely reflects your noblest thoughts
within”.
-Louis Philippe II.

This research project is an important part of my long journey in obtaining my degree


in MBA. I have not traveled in a vacuum in this journey. There are some people who
made this journey easier with words of encouragement and more intellectually
satisfying by offering different places to look to expand my theories and ideas. A
journey is easier when you travel together. Interdependence is certainly more valuable
than independence.

It is a pleasant aspect that I have now the opportunity to express my gratitude for all
of them.

The first person I would like to thank is Mr. V.K.Malhotra, Chief Welfare Officer,
Federal Mogul Goetz (India) limited, Patiala. I have known Mr. V.K.Malhotra as a
sympathetic and principle-centered person. His overly enthusiasm and integral view
on research and his mission for providing 'only high-quality work and not less', has
made a deep impression on me. I owe him lots of gratitude for having me shown this
way of research. He could not even realize how much I have learned from him. I am
Page92

really glad that he had accepted to be my guide for this project. He took me on the
process of learning and made himself available even through his very heavy work,

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


teaching schedule. Thank you doesn’t seem sufficient but it is said with appreciation
and respect.

I would like to thank my parents, who gave me the confidence and support to begin
my Master’s program in Business Administration. They challenged me to set my
benchmark even higher and to look for solutions to problems rather than focus on the
problem. I learned to believe in my future my work and myself. Thank you so much.

I have to put a special note of thanks to Ms.Paramjeet Sujlana, Project Guide,


GJIMT, Mohali, for her valuable suggestions and co-operation during the proceedings
of the project .I also have to thank Mr.G.S.Bedi, Chairman, GJIMT, Mohali, for him
being the director of the whole process.
Last but not the least, I am thankful to all the faculty members of FMGI, for
providing me with enough knowledge in the duration of my course, and all those
people who have been directly or indirectly been instrumental in the completion of
the project.

My deepest and sincere gratitude to all those who were directly or indirectly
responsible for inspiring and guiding this humble being.

THANK YOU ONE AND ALL.

PREFACE

Excellence is an attitude that the whole of the human race is born with. It is the
environment that makes sure that whether the result of this attitude is visible or
otherwise. A well planned, properly executed and evaluated industrial training helps a
lot in inculcating a professional attitude. It provides a linkage between the student and
industry to develop an awareness of industrial approach to problem solving, based on
broad understanding of process and mode of operation of organization. During this
period, the students get the real, firsthand experience for working in the actual
environment.
The quest for knowledge can never end. The deeper we dig, the greater the
unexplored seems to be. No man can honestly say that he has learned all that this
Page92

world has to offer. We cannot achieve anything worthwhile in any field only on the
basis of theoretical knowledge from books.

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


Pragmatic knowledge obtained through working at the ground zero level and
gaining experience, in my view, is essential as theoretical one, if not more. In order to
achieve tangible, positive and concrete results, the classroom knowledge need to be
effectively wedded to the realities of the situation existing outside the classroom.
Theoretical knowledge is of no use without practical one.
This report pertains to Summer Training in partial fulfillment of my degree of M.B.A.
I had the opportunity to have a real experience on my venture, which has increased
my sphere of knowledge to a great extent.

INTRODUCTION

Down the ages in some or the other form Performance Appraisal has always been in
vogue in mundane forms and features. Even today in the era of globalization
Performance Appraisal has become very important and a dire necessity for the
employees, both in the private as well as public sector organizations. This is basically
a process which evaluates the performance of an employee from time to time. There
are various parameters or yardsticks to measure the efficiency and capabilities of the
employee and his dedication towards the organization.

We particularly chose this company also because we happen to know people who
work for the organization and can effectively help us in getting meaningful
information. Federal Mogul has come a long way as a huge organization, a trend-
setter. So our field of interest for research was Federal Mogul Goetze (India) limited,
Patiala

Performance Appraisal has different measures to judge the capabilities and efficiency
of an individual in an organization- how far the targets have been achieved, how has
his performance been! It plays a very important role in their analysis as it keeps the
employees motivated towards their jobs. This assessment also helps in the overall
growth of the organization. So Performance Appraisal today plays a very important
role in keeping a track of various employees for different kinds of jobs in the
organization.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The objectives of present study are as follows:

• To study the current performance appraisal system of the organization and


identify the gaps between the current state and the desired-in-state

• To study the implications of an effective performance appraisal system on the


productivity of employees and the organizational performance as a whole.

• To study the strengthening the relationship and communication between


superior subordinates and management – employees.

• To take the response of employees towards the Performance Appraisal


activities carried on upon them and to study the implications of an effective
performance appraisal system on the productivity of employees

• To analyze the employee expectations and responsibilities towards the


organisation.

RATIONALE OF THE STUDY

Performance Appraisal is the important aspect in the organization to evaluate the


employee’s performance. It helps in understanding the employees work culture,
involvement, and satisfaction. It helps the organization in deciding employee’s
promotion, transfer, incentives, and pay increase.

Human Resource (or personnel) management, in the sense of getting things done
through people, is an essential part of every manager’s responsibility, but many
organizations find it advantageous to establish a specialist division to provide an
expert service dedicated to ensuring that the human resource function is performed
efficiently.

“People are our most valuable asset” is a cliché, which no member of any senior
management team would disagree with. Yet, the reality for many organizations are
that their people remain under valued, under trained and under utilized.

Performance Appraisal is the process of assessing the performance and progress of an


employee or a group of employees on a given job and his / their potential for future
Page92

development. It consists of all formal procedures used in the working organizations to


evaluate personalities, contributions and potentials of employees.

LITERATURE REVIEW

A literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of current
knowledge on a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary sources, and as
such, do not report any new or original experimental work.

Most often associated with science-oriented literature, such as a thesis, the literature
review usually precedes a research proposal, methodology and results section. Its
ultimate goal is to bring the reader up to date with current literature on a topic and
forms the basis for another goal, such as future research that may be needed in the
area.

A good literature review is characterized by: a logical flow of ideas; current and
relevant references with consistent, appropriate referencing style; proper use of
terminology; and an unbiased and comprehensive view of the previous research on
the topic.

According to Cooper (1988) "a literature review uses as its database reports of
primary or original scholarship, and does not report new primary scholarship itself.
The primary reports used in the literature may be verbal, but in the vast majority of
cases reports are written documents. The types of scholarship may be empirical,
theoretical, critical/analytic, or methodological in nature. Second a literature review
seeks to describe, summarize, evaluate, clarify and/or integrate the content of primary
reports".

Basics of Conducting Employee Performance Appraisals


Written by Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD, Authenticity Consulting, LLC. Copyright
1997-2008.
Adapted from the Field Guide to Leadership and Supervision.
Yearly performance reviews are critical. Organization's are hard pressed to find good
reasons why they can't dedicate an hour-long meeting once a year to ensure the
mutual needs of the employee and organization are being met. Performance reviews
help supervisors feel more honest in their relationships with their subordinates and
feel better about themselves in their supervisor roles. Subordinates are assured clear
understanding of what's expected from them, their own personal strengths and areas
for development and a solid sense of their relationship with their supervisor.
Avoiding performance issues ultimately decreases morale, decreases credibility of
management, decreases the organization's overall effectiveness and wastes more of
management's time to do what isn't being done properly.

Bannister, B.D. & Balkin, D.B. (1990)
Performance evaluation and compensation feedback messages: an
integrated model, Journal of Occupational Psychology,
Vol 63, June, British Psychological Society.

Research (Bannister & Balkin, 1990) has reported that appraisees seem to have
greater acceptance of the appraisal process, and feel more satisfied with it, when the
process is directly linked to rewards. Such findings are a serious challenge to those
who feel that appraisal results and reward outcomes must be strictly isolated from
each other.
There is also a group who argues that the evaluation of employees for reward
purposes, and frank communication with them about their performance, are part of
the basic responsibilities of management. The practice of not discussing reward issues
while appraising performance is, say critics, based on inconsistent and muddled ideas
of motivation.

Performance management
By Robert Bacal

You can achieve performance levels once thought unattainableÐbut only when
managers and workers establish clear lines of communication, and understand how
their jobs contribute to the goals of both themselves and the organization.
Performance Management is the comprehensive guidebook on how to establish a
communication system to get top performance and value from each employee. It will
show you how to conduct goals-focused performance planning meetings and
performance appraisals and foster a true commitment to success within each
employee. A meaningful tool for stimulating workplace cooperation, Performance
Management will benefit the employee, the manager, and the organization itself.

Understanding performance appraisal: social,


organizational, and goal-based ...
By Kevin R. Murphy, Jeanette Cleveland

A social-psychological model of organizational appraisal processes which emphasizes


the goals pursued by raters, ratees and other users of performance appraisal is
described in this book. The authors suggest ways in which this goal-oriented
perspective might be applied in developing, implementing and evaluating
performance appraisal systems.
The model emphasizes the context in which appraisal occurs and takes as a starting
point the assumption that many of the apparent shortcomings of performance are, in
fact, sensible adaptations to the various requirements, pressures and demands of that
Page92

context.

Performance appraisal research over the last 10 years has begun to examine the
effects of the social context on the appraisal process. Drawing from previous
theoretical work, we developed a model of this process and conducted a systematic
review of the relevant research. This review of over 300 articles suggests that as a
field we have become much more cognizant of the importance of the social context
within which the performance appraisal process operates. First, research has
broadened the traditional conceptualization of performance appraisal effectiveness to
include and emphasize ratee reactions. Second, the influence that the feedback
environment or feedback culture has on performance appraisal outcomes is an
especially recent focus that seems to have both theoretical and applied implications.
Finally, there appears to be a reasonably large set of distal variables such as
technology, HR strategies, and economic conditions that are potentially important for
understanding the appraisal process, but which have received very little research
attention. We believe that the focus of recent performance appraisal research has
widespread implications ranging from theory development and enhancement to
practical application.

THEORETICAL FRAME WORK

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

HISTORY:

The history of performance appraisal is quite brief. Its roots in the early 20th century
can be traced to Taylor's pioneering Time and Motion studies. But this is not very
helpful, for the same may be said about almost everything in the field of modern
human resources management.
As a distinct and formal management procedure used in the evaluation of work
performance, appraisal really dates from the time of the Second World War - not
more than 60 years ago.
Yet in a broader sense, the practice of appraisal is a very ancient art. In the scale of
things historical, it might well lay claim to being the world's second oldest profession!
There is"... a basic human tendency to make judgments about those one is working
with, as well as about oneself." Appraisal, it seems, is both inevitable and universal.
In the absence of a carefully structured system of appraisal, people will tend to judge
the work performance of others, including subordinates, naturally, informally and
arbitrarily.
The human inclination to judge can create serious motivational, ethical and legal
problems in the workplace. Without a structured appraisal system, there is little
chance of ensuring that the judgments made will be lawful, fair, defensible and
accurate.
Performance appraisal systems began as simple methods of income justification. That
is, appraisal was used to decide whether or not the salary or wage of an individual
employee was justified.

The process was firmly linked to material outcomes. If an employee's performance


was found to be less than ideal, a cut in pay would follow. On the other hand, if their
performance was better than the supervisor expected, a pay rise was in order.

Little consideration, if any, was given to the developmental possibilities of appraisal.


If was felt that a cut in pay, or a rise, should provide the only required impetus for an
employee to either improve or continue to perform well.
Sometimes this basic system succeeded in getting the results that were intended; but
more often than not, it failed.

For example, early motivational researchers were aware that different people with
Page92

roughly equal work abilities could be paid the same amount of money and yet have
quite different levels of motivation and performance.
These observations were confirmed in empirical studies. Pay rates were important,

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


yes; but they were not the only element that had an impact on employee performance.
It was found that other issues, such as morale and self-esteem, could also have a
major influence.

As a result, the traditional emphasis on reward outcomes was progressively rejected.


In the 1950s in the United States, the potential usefulness of appraisal as tool for
motivation and development was gradually recognized. The general model of
performance appraisal, as it is known today, began from that time.

DEFINATION AND CONCEPT:

Performance Appraisal is the process of obtaining, analyzing and recording


information about the relative worth of an employee. The focus of the performance
appraisal is measuring and improving the actual performance of the employee and
also the future potential of the employee. Its aim is to measure what an employee
does.
According to Flippo, a prominent personality in the field of Human resources,
“performance appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an impartial rating of an
employee’s excellence in the matters pertaining to his present job and his
potential for a better job."
Performance appraisal is a systematic way of reviewing and assessing the
performance of an employee during a given period of time and planning for his
future.
It is a powerful tool to calibrate, refine and reward the performance of the employee.
It helps to analyze his achievements and evaluate his contribution towards the
achievements of the overall organizational goals.
By focusing the attention on performance, performance appraisal goes to the
heart of personnel management and reflects the management’s interest in the progress
of the employees.

PROCESS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:

PRE-REQUISITES FOR SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE


APPRAISAL:

The essentials of an effective performance system are as follows:

1) Documentation – means continuous noting and documenting the performance. It


also helps the evaluators to give a proof and the basis of their ratings.
2) Standards / Goals – the standards set should be clear, easy to understand,
achievable, motivating, time bound and measurable.
3) Practical and simple format - The appraisal format should be simple, clear, fair
and objective.
4) Evaluation technique – An appropriate evaluation technique should be selected;
the appraisal system should be performance based and uniform.
Page92

5) Communication – Communication is an indispensable part of the performance


appraisal process. The desired behavior or the expected results should be

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


communicated to the employees as well as the evaluators.
6) Feedback – The purpose of the feedback should be developmental rather than
judgmental.
7) Personal Bias – Interpersonal relationships can influence the evaluation and the
decisions in the performance appraisal process.

CHALLENGES IN PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:

In order to make a performance appraisal system effective and


successful, an organization comes across various challenges
and problems. The main challenges involved in the performance
appraisal process are:

1) Determining the evaluation criteria-For the purpose of evaluation, the criteria


selected should be in quantifiable or measurable terms
2) Create a rating instrument- The focus of the system should be on the
development of the employees of the organization.
3) Lack of competence-Top management should choose the raters or the evaluators
carefully. They should have the required expertise and the knowledge to decide the
criteria accurately.
4) Errors in rating and evaluation-The rater should exercise objectivity and fairness
in evaluating and rating the performance of the employees
5) Resistance-The appraisal process may face resistance from the employees and the
trade unions for the fear of negative ratings. Therefore, the employees should be
communicated and clearly explained the purpose as well the process of appraisal.

MEASURING EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE:

The most difficult part of the performance appraisal process is to accurately


and objectively measure the employee performance. Measuring the performance
covers the evaluation of the main tasks completed and the accomplishments of the
employee in a given time period in comparison with the goals set at the beginning of
the period. Measuring employee performance is the basis of the Performance
appraisal processes and performance management.
For the purpose of measuring employee performance, different input forms
can be used for taking the feedback from the various sources like the superior, peers,
customers, vendors and the employee himself. Some suggestions and tips for
measuring employee performance are:
• Clearly define and develop the employee plans of action (performance)
with their role, duties and responsibilities.
Page92

• Organizational outcomes or the achievement of organizational goals


should also be kept in mind.

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


• Focus on accomplishments and results rather than on activities.
• Also take note of the skills, knowledge and competencies and behaviors of
the employees that help the organization to achieve its goals.
• If possible, collect the feedback about the performance of the employees
through multi-point feedback and self-assessments.
• Financial measures like the return on investment, the market share, the
profit generated by the performance of the team should also be considered.

For an organization to be an effective organization and to achieve its goals, it


is very important to monitor or measure its’ and its employee performance on a
regular basis. Effective monitoring and measuring also includes providing timely
feedback and reviews to employees for their work and performance according to the
pre-determined goals and standards and solving the problems faced. Timely
recognition of the accomplishments also motivates the employees and help to
improve the performance.
Measuring the performance of the employees based only on one or some
factors can provide with inaccurate results and leave a bad impression on the
employees as well as the organization. For example: By measuring only the activities
in employee’s performance, an organization might rate most of its employees as
outstanding, even when the organization as a whole might have failed to meet its
goals and objectives. Therefore, a balanced set of measures (commonly known as
balanced scorecard) should be used for measuring the performance of the employee.

METHODS AND TECHNIQUES OF PERFORMANCE


APPRAISAL:

INDIVIDUAL EVALUATION METHOD:

1. CONFIDENTIAL REPORT: mostly used in govt. organizations. It is a


detailed report prepared by the immediate boss. No feedback is given to the
Page92

employee.

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


2. ESSAY APPRAISAL METHOD:
This traditional form of appraisal, also known as “Free Form method”
involves a description of the performance of an employee by his superior. The
description is an evaluation of the performance of any individual based on the facts
and often includes examples and evidences to support the information.

3. CRITICAL INCIDENTS METHODS:


In this method of Performance Appraisal, the evaluator rates the employee on
the basis of critical events and how the employee behaved during those incidents. It
includes both negative and positive points.

4. CHECKLIST METHOD:
The rater is given a checklist of the descriptions of the behavior of the
employees on job. The checklist contains a list of statements on the basis of which the
rater describes the on the job performance of the employees.

5. GRAPHIC RATING SCALE:


In this method, an employee’s quality and quantity of work is assessed in a
graphic scale indicating different degrees of a particular trait. The factors taken into
consideration include both the personal characteristics and characteristics related to
the on-the-job performance of the employees.

6. BARS (BEHAVIORALLY ANCHORED RATING SCALE)


 Step 1. Identify critical incidents
 Step 2. Select performance dimension
 Step 3. Retranslate the incidents
 Step 4. Assign scales to incidents
 Step 5. Develop final instrument

7. FORCED CHOICE METHOD:


Focus of this method is to eliminate the rater from giving too high or too low
ratings to the employee. This method uses paired phrases that carry favorable or
unfavorable credits. The rater is unaware of how the phrases are marked and therefore
chooses what best describes the employee.

8. MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES (MBO):


This requires the management to set specific, measurable goals with each employee
and then periodically discusses the performance towards these goals. Steps in MBO:
Page92

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


MULTIPLE- PERSON EVALUATION METHODS

9. STRAIGHT RANKING METHOD:


This is one of the oldest and simplest techniques of performance appraisal. In
this method, the appraiser ranks the employees from the best to the poorest on the
basis of their overall performance. It is quite useful for a comparative evaluation

10. PAIRED COMPARISON:


A better technique of comparison than the straight ranking method, this
method compares each employee with all others in the group, one at a time. After all
the comparisons on the basis of the overall comparisons, the employees are given the
final rankings.

11. FORCED DISTRIBUTION:


To eliminate the element of bias from the rater’s ratings, the evaluator is asked
to distribute the employees in some fixed categories of ratings like on a normal
distribution curve. The rater chooses the appropriate fit for the categories on his own
discretion.

OTHER METHODS

12. GROUP APPRAISAL:


An employee is appraised by a group of appraisers. Group consists of
immediate supervisor, other supervisors, HOD, manager etc. this group used any of
the techniques mentioned above of appraising.

13. HUMAN RESOURCE ACCOUNTING (HRA):


It is a sophisticated way of accounting for people as an organizational
resource. The value if an employee is increased when organizations invest in T&D.
This technique is not fully developed.

14. FIELD REVIEW:


Page92

In this method, a senior member of the HR department or a training officer


discusses and interviews the supervisors to evaluate and rate their respective

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


subordinates. A major drawback of this method is that it is a very time consuming
method. But this method helps to reduce the superiors’ personal bias.

15. ASSESSMENT CENTRE:


Individuals from various departments are brought together to spend 2-3 days
working on individual or group assignments similar to the ones they have handled.
Observers then rank the performance of each and every participant. These centers are
basically meant for evaluating the potential of candidates.

CURRENT GLOBAL TRENDS IN PERFORMANCE
APPRAISAL PROGRAM:

The performance appraisal process has become the heart of the human resource
management system in the organizations. Performance appraisal defines and
measures the performance of the employees and the organization as a whole. It is a
tool for accessing the performance of the organization.
The important issues and points concerning performance appraisal in the present
world are:
• The focus of the performance appraisals is turning towards career
development relying on the dialogues and discussions with the superiors.
• Performance measuring, rating and review system have become more
detailed, structured and person specific than before.
• Performance related pay is being incorporated in the strategies used by the
organizations.
• Trend towards a 360-degree feedback system
• The problems in the implementation of the performance appraisal
processes are being anticipated and efforts are being made to overcome
them.
• In India, the performance appraisal processes are faced with a lot of
obstacles, the most prominent being the lack of quantifiable indicators of
the performance. GLOBAL TRENDS
The emergence of following concepts and the following trends related to
Performance appraisal can be seen in the global scenario:

 360 DEGREE APPRAISALS:

360 degree feedback, also known as 'multi-rater feedback', is the most


comprehensive appraisal where the feedback about the employees’ performance
comes from all the sources that come in contact with the employee on his job.
Organizations are increasingly using feedback from various sources such as peer
input, customer feedback, and input from superiors. Different forms with different
formats are being used to obtain the information regarding the employee
Page92

performance.

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


 TEAM PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
According to a wall street journal headline, “Teams have become
commonplace in U.S. Companies”. Most of the performance appraisal
techniques are formulated with individuals in mind i.e. to measure and rate the
performance of the individual employee. Therefore, with the number of teams
increasing in the organizations, it becomes difficult to measure and appraise
the performance of the team. The question is how to separate the performance
of the team from the performance of the employees. A solution to this
problem that is being adopted by the companies is to measure both the
individual and the team performance. Sometimes, team based objectives are
also included in the individual performance plans.

 RANK AND YANK STRATEGY:

Also known as the “Up or out policy”, the rank and yank strategy refers to the
performance appraisal model in which best-to-worst ranking methods are used to
identify and separate the poor performers from the good performers. Then the
action plans and the improvement opportunities of the poor performers are
discussed and they are given to improve their performance in a given time period,
after which the appropriate HR decisions are taken. Some of the organizations
following this strategy are Ford, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
AS
MOTIVATION
Page92

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL AS MOTIVATION

Keeping in mind the growing attrition rates and the employee dissatisfaction
among the employees, the HR professionals are approaching and using the
performance appraisal as a fuel to motivate employees. The latest trend being
followed by the HR professionals is to use the performance appraisal and review
process as a motivating mechanism. Various surveys and studies have testified the
relationship between performance review, pay and motivation.

One of the most motivating factors for the employees, in the performance
appraisal processes is to receive a fair an accurate assessment of their performance.
Inaccurate evaluation is one reason because of which most employees dread going
through performance appraisals. An employee always expects his appraiser to
recognize and appreciate his achievements, support him to overcome the problems
and failures.

The discrepancies and the inaccuracies in the performance review can de


motivate the employees, even if there has been an increase in the salary. Such
inaccuracies can kill the innovating and risk taking enthusiasm and spirit in the
employees. Similarly, inaccurate reviews with no hike in compensation can increase
the attrition rate in the organization, forcing the employees to look out for other
options.

An employee prefers an accurate performance review with no increase in the


salary over inaccurate performance review with an increase in salary.
Employees, who receive both accuracy and a pay increase during their
performance review, are likely to be the most motivated. Therefore, performance
appraisal (review and its consequence in the form of compensation adjustments) has
the potential of motivating employees and increasing their job satisfaction.

Performance appraisal is important for employees at all levels throughout the
organization. The parameters, the characteristics and the standards for evaluation may
be different, but the fundamentals of performance appraisal are the same. But as the
level of the employees’ increases, performance appraisal is more effectively used as
the tools of managing performance. The general parameters for the measurement of
employees’ performance are:

 Speed i.e. process performance,

 Accuracy and Productivity of each process,

MEASURING
EFFECTIVENESS OF
APPRAISAL AT FEDERAL
MOGUL
Page92

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL FEEDBACK SYSTEM AT FEDERAL MOGUL:

Performance so appraised should be communicated to the employee and


comprehensive feedback must be given so as to suggest & explain the ways to
improve the performance and appreciate good work. This feedback mechanism will
work in the following manner:

1. Personal Counseling Sessions:


Every employee will have counseling session with his team leader on the
appraisal in presence of the PMS Facilitator. The appraisers will discuss the
achievements and shortcomings of the appraisee. The team leader will
appreciate the positive incidents and provide guidelines to improve the
performance in the problem areas. Employee’s performance on each
Performance Appraisal criteria will be discussed and explained to the
employee. The preliminary ratings will be finalized at this stage but will not
be revealed to the appraisee as the rating might change after the ranking
meeting.

2. Improvement Statement:
A written statement will be prepared by the technicians/ team members in
consultation with the team leader & PMS Facilitator detailing how they intend
to improve their performance in the next appraisal period. This improvement
statement will be noted down in the space provided in the form.

3. Review Session:
The review session will be attended by appraisee, the HR Manager and the
Function Head. The HR Manager and the Function Head will briefly discuss
the achievements and the shortcomings of the appraisee and will also discuss
the special points raised in the ranking meeting, if any. Thereafter the ratings
will be revealed to the appraisee and the form will be duly signed by all
concerned. The purpose of this session is to reinforce the feedback given in
the counseling session and to discuss things beyond performance appraisal.
The ratings assigned in the ranking meeting will not be changed during this
review. Once the Employee Satisfaction Survey has been instituted in the
factory, its findings can also be discussed at this stage.

4. Dissatisfaction with Appraisal:


If any technicians/ team members is dissatisfied with his appraisal and has
sufficient reason to believe that there is inaccuracy in the appraisal, he can
take up the issue with manufacturing/production/HR manager.
Page92

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


PERFORMANCE REWARD SYSTEM

The compensation of the technicians/ team members will be linked to the


performance by two components:
1. Individual Performance based wage increments
2. Plant Productivity based bonus

1. PERFORMANCE BASED WAGE INCREMENT


The yearly wage increments will be dependent on the individual performance of the
technicians/ team members. The wage increments will be decided as follows:
• Decide Average Increment figure every year
• Decide Individual Increment based on normal curve
o 3 Bands of increments based on Performance Appraisal percentage
score
o Top 15% - Middle 70% - Bottom 15%
Average
Low Performers High
Performers Performers

• Middle Band gets the pre decided average increment


• Top and bottom Bands get higher and lower increments respectively
• Overall decided average maintained

Rationale
The performance based wage increment is based on the following rationale:
• Results in permanent change in Income Level – Strong Motivator
• Clear difference in pay level of consistent performers & non performers in
long run
• Helps recognize & retain the best talent

2. PRODUCTIVITY BONUS
The second component of performance reward system, Productivity Bonus, will be
linked to the overall plant performance. It will be decided as follows:
• Flat rate of bonus for all technicians and team members on basis of Plant AU
Page92

• Certain minimum acceptable AU level will attract zero productivity bonus


• Every percentage point over such level leads to increasing productivity bonus

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


Rationale
The productivity bonus is based on the following rationale:
• Links overall performance to reward
• Promotes overall teamwork
• Sets clear motivation for increasing productivity
• Peer Pressure – Performers will automatically check non performers

PERFORMANCE REWARD SYSTEM – SALIENT FEATURES


• Enhances individual performance
o Directly links Performance Appraisal results to Salary Structure
o Permanent Change
• Enhances performance as a unit by linking AU to bonus
o Promotes coordination and instills a sense of responsibility
o Temporary Chan

LINKING PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL TO T&D

The performance appraisal results so obtained will be used to determine the training
and development needs of employees. The following three step process will be
followed to ensure that Performance Appraisal results are actively linked with
Training & Development:

1. The HR department will review the completed Performance Appraisal forms


to filter out all forms where:
a. Overall Rating is “Below Expectation” and/or
b. Rating in any functional or behavioral competency is “Below
Expectation”
These shall be the employees who need training in various fields.

2. The forms so filtered out will then be analyzed to establish any possible trend
in lack of competencies. If more than 10 people exhibit the lack of same
competency, a mass training need exists. For example, if 13 people are scoring
“Below Expectation” in the Making department, there exists a specific need for
refresher training in the making concepts.

3. The list of the employees in need of training along with established trend, if
any, will be forwarded to the Training & Development department for further
action.

INTERPRETATION
In the process of appraising, both the parties are human being, that is, the one who is
being apprised and the other who is appraising. Thus, there bound to be subjectivity
involved, be it an objective way of appraising.
Thus, when asked from among the sample size of 100 respondents, as huge as 82 %
respond ended that personal bias do creep in while appraising an individual. Hence, it
is inevitable to say that personal likings do not come in the process of appraisal. It is
the extent to which the appraiser manages it so that it does not become very partial
and bias.

INTERPRETATION

In Federal Mogul, the Performance Appraisal reports are freely available to the
employee which is a good thing. Only few team leaders think that performance
appraisal reports are not so easily accessible. The employees can easily check what
ratings they have got from their superiors and also what their weaknesses are and
what are their strengths.

Q19. How Performance Appraisal helps in retention of employee?

Majority of employees feel that effective Performance Appraisal helps a great deal in
Page92

retention of employees. They get monetary benefits which enhance their confidence
and motivate them to work towards organizational goal. Performance Appraisal
helps in the personal development of the employees and thus the employees in

Gian Jyoti Institute of Management & Technology


planning their own career development. Few employees think that Performance
Appraisal gives HR an insight about how the employee is performing.

Q20. What are the parameters that determine the Performance Appraisal of an
individual?

Most say that the major parameters that determine Performance of an individual are
whether he has met the targets (CPM) or not. It depends a lot on customer
satisfaction. Rest of the parameters is like their attitude towards seniors and
colleagues and attendance, how they work in a team and also last years records also
affect the Performance Appraisal system.

Q21. What do you like or dislike about the Performance Appraisal policy of
your company?

 Most employees dislike the fact that Performance Appraisal happens yearly
and in that also the salary hike is minimal. They get no incentives to be loyally
attached to the organization. The employees want that the performance
appraisal cycle should be half- yearly or quarterly and not yearly and the
increments given should be more.

 But they like the trend that the feedback of previous year’s Performance is
given to them by their supervisors and also self-assessment performance
appraisal system is there. They think that self-assessment brings more
motivation and they are happy that it is a part of Performance Appraisal.

Q22. If given a chance what changes would you like to bring in the Performance
Appraisal policies of your company?

Almost all the employees feel that Performance Appraisal should be done on
individual ground instead of team or group capabilities. They would really like to
change the Appraisal Cycle from yearly to half-yearly or quarterly. Last but not the
least they would like salary hikes and loyalty bonuses.

Q23. Who are the persons involved in performance appraisal system of your
company?

People involved in the Performance Appraisal system are-

employees. Nearly 10 % of the respondents view that it does not serve this
purpose and around 16 % were not able to respond as to whether it serve any

The analysis and interpretation of data on study of performance appraisal and its
effectiveness in an organization led to the following conclusions:

 The result shows that most of the employees in the company have principally
faith in the system which is a positive sign and leave scope for easy adoption.
 The promotion rules though defined need to be communicated to every
employee before appraisal process is done and also justifies the promotion as
a result of the appraisal. That the promotion policy followed differs at
different position and category. Uniformity has to be there in the
implementation of promotion policy at all levels.
 The appraisal outcome has to be used frequently for the purpose of reward on
performing well together with the feedback on the performance. Also when
performance goes down employee has to be given feedback and motivated to
do better.
 In Federal Mogul (India) Ltd. feedback is being provided to the employee
though on a few occasion and Appraisal System focuses on the performance
and future potential of the employee
 The result of the appraisal is used for the overall development of the
employee. Training needs of an individual employee are assessed from his
performance rating in respect of various parameters based on which the
performance of an employee is appraised.

to play at work. They are made clear about their assigned special duties and
responsibilities towards accomplishment of work.
