Recommended: Ethics and organisational performance

Aguinis (2013) identifies ideal characteristics of a performance management system in the course text. This list is comprehensive and includes components such as the system being thorough, inclusive, practical, meaningful, reliable, open, ethical, and correct to name a few (Aguinis, 2013). Another vital component that sets a performance management plan apart from a performance appraisal is that it is an on-going or continuous process of evaluating and providing feedback on an employee’s performance in relation to an organizations strategy (Reed & Bogardus, 2012). Several sources cite components similar in this list, but this list is highly comprehensive when researching expert’s ideal performance management characteristics. Consideration will be given to how the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) College of Business stacks up to this list in their performance management program, areas of opportunity, as well as recommended areas for improvement beyond the areas of opportunity noted.
Ideal Performance Management Components and the UCCS College of Business
Overall, the UCCS College of Business outperforms the UCCS campus and other departments as a whole.

There are traces of the other four components, but they are not comprehensively involved as the other characteristics.

Consideration of just a few of these characteristics will provide evidence that lend to the accuracy of the concl...

Focusing attention on these areas of weakness can increase the ethical nature and effectiveness of the plans, thus contributing to the building of successful futures with an internal focus.

    The lack of success at Omega, Inc. rested in the hands of an incompetent sales staff who were not informed of the company’s mission statement and goals. The staff received limited training on the jobs they were to perform. Omega was faced with the challenge of getting the employees to achieve their sales quotas. According to (Aguinis, 2007), “There are two important prerequisites required before a performance management system is implemented: knowledge of the organization’s mission and strategic goals and knowledge of the job in question.” The benefit of superior knowledge of the organization combined with clear and agreed upon mission and strategic goals of their unit would afford employees the opportunity to make contributions that will have a positive impact on the organization as a whole. In addition, one must possess the knowledge of the job in question to execute the tasks necessary to be done and how they should be done. This knowledge is obtained through a job analysis.
