Findings
Recommendations Performance appraisal should not be perceived just as a regular activity but
its importance should be recognized and communicated down the line to all the employees.
There should be review of job analysis, job design and work environment
based on the performance appraisal.
It should bring more clarity to the goal and vision of the organization. It should provide more empowerment to the employees. New methods of appraisal should be adopted so that both appraiser and
appraisee take interest in the appraisal process.
The employees who have excellent performance should be used as a mentor
for other employees who would motivate others to perform better.
Employees should be given feedback regarding their appraisal. This will
help them to improve on their weak areas. Financial and non-financial incentives should be linked to the annual appraisal system so that employees would be motivated to perform better. The frequency of training program for the appraiser should be increased and these sessions should be made interactive. The awareness sessions for the employees/appraisees should be made more interactive and the views and opinion of the appraisees regarding appraisal should be given due consideration. Assistance should be sought from specialists for framing a proper appraisal system that suits the organization climate. Combining the different methods of appraisal can minimize the element of biasness in an appraisal. Like the rating method combined with assessment center method would give an evidence of poor/unfavorable or outstanding behavior of the appraisee, if any
Limitations of the studyy Although all attempts were made to make this an objective study, biases y
y y y y
on the part of the respondent might have resulted in some subjectivity. This being the maiden experience of the researcher of conducting study such as this, the possibility of better results, using deeper statistical techniques in analyzing and interpreting data not be ruled out. Getting the views an opinion of the interviewee (HR Manager) was a difficult task. The sample sizes collected were not large i.e., study is limited to 50 individuals. Managers were reluctant in giving out too many details fearing exposure of company secrets. Was not able to get adequate time with the Mr. Kallol Chakraborty, HR, HCL Technologies Ltd.
