Based on your view of the objectives of performance evaluation, evaluate the perspectives about performance appraisal presented by the managers.
Performance evaluations has many major functions, many embrace providing a basis for rewards and to evaluate previous training programs. I think the managers presented the flaws within the evaluation system. One in every of the flaws that were discerned within the case was the actual fact that emotions will creep into the evaluation process. If a manager has simply punished one in every of his or her workers that anger may cause a decent worker to receive a bad mark. The evaluation process will allow dishonesty to enter. Within the case a manager gave associate degree worker a bad mark even if her

Fine-tuning becomes an issue when someone is not accurately grading their team. He/she may have the plans to help somebody out but he/she end up hurting them by telling them their flaws. Despite the fact that he/she may accept the system is flawed he/she need to stay with the guidelines he/she were given. I am not a devotee of the system as it stands. I might advocate changing the system. However without concurred changes to the system, I don't think they might be made (Williergivens, 2011).
Assume you are the vice president of human resources at Eckel Industries and that you are aware that fine-tuning evaluations is a prevalent practice among Eckel managers. If you disagree with this perspective, what steps would you take to reduce the practice?
I agree because it can measure the performance of the

I feel that his purpose was to get it out in the open so it could be discussed, and in this way dealt with before he took the employment of chief engineer, a part that might require even handed and genial treatment of subordinates from races other than his own. After the first reading of the article, I was under the feeling that Baker was between a rock and a hard place, because of the way that it was not only his own perception of Rennalls' attitude, which he may have had the ability to mislooking, however the perception by all Europeans working for the organization that Rennalls had a race awareness issue. The complaint of Martha Jackson, and a problem with Godson, another worker, helped to lean my evaluation in that way.
After read again the article, it gave the idea that most of Baker's evaluation of Rennalls' racial attitude were of concern just to Baker himself, and his desire to get Rennalls to check his own (Baker's) opinion had rather turned into a mild obsession. Baker admitted in his thoughtful ramblings that Rennalls "had an ease of way that stood him in great stead when managing his expatriate seniors." But Baker likewise recognized the pride that he took in interact with people of all nationalities, and was a spot baffled why he had not had the ability to eliminate a perceived obstruction between himself and

The innovative approach to employee reviews provided by Martinez creates a positive way to evaluate employees’ strengths and weaknesses. The process promotes open conversations, enhanced by the Socratic Method, to generate enthusiasm in both the manager and the subordinate. The fear of negative reactions becomes almost nonexistent because of the collaborative dialogue. Martinez successfully created a performance evaluation system that takes the dread out of employee evaluations.
Halo has traditionally been considered a serious problem for the effectiveness of an appraisal system. Cleveland, Murphy, and Williams, (2009) organizations generally use performance evaluations to make some sort of decision about a worker and his job When evaluating a person, the organization attempts to measure the worker on several different criteria. In this way, the worker, with the help of the organization, is able to be aware of his strengths and can target areas for improvement. Halo eliminates the varian...
The performance assessment and appraisal forms are crucial within the performance management system (Aguinis, 2014). However, the appraisal form within the case study provided is designed for the supervisor’s use thus missing one vital factor throughout the entire process, employee participation. Thus, questioning the validity and reliability of the process. This is especially concerning as the bottom 10 per cent of employees are being fired and the top 20 per cent are being rewarded with $5,000.00 based on what their supervisor records on the form without consultation with employees. Thus, supervisors may not provide accurate scores as they do not have to justify their responses (Aguinis,
There is an array of key components and factors involved in making an organization a successful business. One of those elements consists on evaluating employee’s performance; this sole component is critical in determining how effective is the organization’s productivity and which are the necessary steps to ensure proper functioning. “The performance appraisal may be one of the few times during the year where an employee and the reviewer, typically the employee's supervisor, can sit down and have a lengthy face-to-face discussion about all aspects of the job” (Joseph, 2016). Employees’ performance assessment serves as an instrument to gather important information as to which areas of the job description are being performed according to standards
The problem of Interdisciplinary Studies for me is unemployment. Getting a job with a degree of (B.A) in Interdisciplinary Studies is a problem. My expectation is to become a teacher, which was my first major Education and English. Interdisciplinary Studies major does not show any specific area of study in which will be assigned in one’s certificate. In my country, government does not actual realize the Interdisciplinary Major. When teaching in my country, the system will require a teacher to have specific area of subject in which he or she teaches. So, the way to improve unemployment is to educators such as principles, teachers, and school committee or schools’

Low and medium level performers improved and high performers reduced over time. It is due to supervisors who received evaluation were no more likely to improve performance than managers who did not receive feedback; people who gave themselves higher self-rating than the ratings their subordi...
“The word interdisciplinary consists of two parts: inter and disciplinary. The prefix inter means “between, among, in the midst,” or “derived from two or more.” Disciplinary means “of or relating to a particular field of study” or specialization” (Repko, 2011, p. 7). I understand this to be a study that often consists of two or more areas that are being observed and examined. An interdisciplinary study is used to help us put together research by asking and answering questions, address certain issues by viewing a variety of views.

Performance appraisal is perceived by most as a tool to reward or penalize employees for their good or bad work respectively by the end of a year. This notion is a challenge in itself to deal with. The whole exercise becomes dull for both supervisors and their subordinates and they tend to look at it as an additional responsibility which they have to finish. In the end, there is little or no value addition for either the employee or the organization. There are, however, better ways of looking at and conducting performance appraisals. It can give much needed feedback to both performers and laggards to improve upon and if done properly can even boost their motivation. More importantly, they provide a chance to employees to have a say in their goal setting and thus aligning it with the departmental and organizational goals. Also, the process itself has a value in team making.
Between 2009 and 2014 the number of Interdisciplinary Studies degrees conferred to undergraduate students increased by 37 percent (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 2016). However, despite this growth in degrees conferred, many individuals do not know what a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies entails. When some people think of a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, they think it means having a degree with more than one area of study, similar to having two minors instead of one major. However, a degree in Interdisciplinary studies is much more than having a degree with multiple areas of study. The intention of this paper is to define Interdisciplinary Studies, explain how a degree in Interdisciplinary studies can bring two unique areas of study into a cognitive area of study using a metaphor and show the benefits of obtaining a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. Further the application of a Christian worldview will be explored when integrated with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. As stated in Colossians 3:23, “whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord…” (New Revised Standard Version).

There are several reasons organizations initiate performance evaluations, however the standard purpose for performance evaluations is to discuss performance expectations; not only from the employers perspective but to engage in a formal collaboration where the employee and the manager are both able to provide feedback in a formal discourse. There are many different processes an organization should follow when developing its performance evaluation tool; in addition essential characteristics that must accompany an effective performance appraisal process. I will discuss in detail the intent of a performance evaluation, the process an organization should follow in using its performance evaluation tool, along with the characteristics of an effective
