Grote (2002) describes performance appraisal as a formal management tool

that helps evaluate the performance quality of an employee. Schneier and

Beatty as cited in Patterson (1987) define it as a process which apart from

evaluating also identifies and develops human performance.

According to Karol (1996) performance appraisal includes a communication

event planned between a manager and an employee specifically for the

purpose of assessing that employee's past job performance and discussing

areas for future improvement.

Study by Hewitt Associates (1994),the impact of performance management

on Organizational success substantiates that performance management system

can have a significant impact on financial performance and productivity. The

study used the Boston Consulting Group/HOLT financial database to track the

financial performance of 437 publically held U.S. companies from 1990

through 1992.The study results showed that: Companies with performance

programs have higher profits, better cash flows, stronger stock market

performance and a greater stock value than companies without performance

management. Productivity in firms without performance management is

significantly below the industry average, while productivity in firms with

performance management is on par with the industry average. Companies with

performance management significantly improved their financial performance

and productivity after implementing performance management.

A common weakness in the implementation of performance management

systems noted by de Waal (2004)is the focus only on the “structural side”,

that is, “the structure that needs to be in place to be able to use performance

management such as critical success factors and key performance indicators,

possibly supported by a balance scorecard”. De Waal (2004) argues that

successful implementation also requires attention to the “behavioral side” that

is, the necessary performance-driven behavior required from organizational

members to achieve the desired objectives. According to de Waal (2004),

appropriate behaviors, including attitudes and beliefs, depend on a range of

SVERI’s COE, MBA Department, Pandharpur (2015 – 2016) Page 14

Page 15: Study on performance appraisal system in ongc ltd., mumbai

MBA Program Solapur University, Solapur

factors including management style, the perceived relevance of performance

indicators, the degree to which employees feel they can influence change, and

the quality of communication within the organization.

Sharmistha Bhattacharjee and Santoshi Sengupta (2011)studied that

employees are the most valuable and dynamic assets of an organization. For

achieving the strategic objective of sustained and speedy growth, managing

human resource has been featured as a vital requirement in all organizations. It

is a challenge to monitor the entire cycle of defining the competence

requirement of the business, accessing existing competence in the organization

and bridging the gap between the two. HR practices are crucial for any

organization. Every phase from recruitment to exit interview is under the HR

department. It is a challenge to monitor the entire cycle of defining the

competence requirement of the business, accessing existing competence in the

organization and bridging the gap between the two. In a manufacturing

industry, with every technical advancement business opportunities can show

up. These opportunities can be converted into business success only with

performance alignment and competence management.

4. Theoretical Framework

SVERI’s COE, MBA Department, Pandharpur (2015 – 2016) Page 15

Page 16: Study on performance appraisal system in ongc ltd., mumbai

MBA Program Solapur University, Solapur

4.1 Performance Appraisal

What is Performance?

What does the term performance actually mean? Employees are performing well

when they are productive. Productivity implies both concern for effectiveness and

efficiency, effectiveness refers to goal accomplishment. However it does not speak of

the costs incurred in reaching the goal. That is where efficiency comes in. Efficiency

evaluates the ratio of inputs consumed to outputs achieved. The greater the output for

a given input, the greater the efficiency. It is not desirable to have objective measures

of productivity such as hard data on effectiveness, number of units produced, or

percent of crimes solved, etc. and hard data on efficiency (average cost per unit of

ratio of sales volume to number of calls made etc.)

In addition to productivity as measured in terms of effectiveness and efficiency,

performance also includes personnel data such as measures of accidents, turnover,

absences and tardiness. That is a good employee is one who not only performs well in

terms of productivity but also minimizes problems for the organization by being to

work on time, by not missing days, and by minimizing the number of work-related

accidents.

What is Appraisal?

Appraisals are judgements of the characteristics, traits and performance of others. On

the basis of these judgments we assess the worth or value of others and identify what

is good or bad. In industry performance appraisal is a systematic evaluation of

employees by supervisors. Employees also wish to know their position in the

organization. Appraisals are essential for making many administrative decisions:

selection, training, promotion, transfer, wage and salary administration, etc. besides

they aid in personnel research.

What is Performance Appraisal?

Performance appraisal is a systematic and objective way of judging the relative worth

of ability of an employee in performing his task. Performance appraisal helps to

identify those who are performing their assigned tasks well and those who are not and

SVERI’s COE, MBA Department, Pandharpur (2015 – 2016) Page 16

Page 17: Study on performance appraisal system in ongc ltd., mumbai

MBA Program Solapur University, Solapur

the reasons for such performance. Performance Appraisal is an objective assessment

of an individual’s performance against well-defined benchmarks.

According to Flippo, “Performance Appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an

important rating of an employee’s excellence in matters pertaining to his present job

and his potential for a better job.”

According to Michael Armstrong, “Performance appraisal is a formal assessment and

rating of individual by their managers at usually at annual review meeting.”

Performance appraisal from employee point of view – “A performance appraisal is

meant to help employees realise their strengths and shortcomings and receive

compensation accordingly.

Objectives of Performance Appraisal:

The main objective of performance appraisal is to measure and improve the

performance of employees and increases their future potential and value to the

company. Other objectives includes providing feedback, improving communication,

understanding training needs, clarifying roles and responsibilities and determining

how to allocate rewards. The main purposes of employee assessment are:

1. To review the performance of the employees over a given period of time

2. To judge the gap between the actual and desired performance

3. To help management in exercising organizational control.

4. To effect promotion based on competence and performance.

5. To confirm the services of probationary employees upon their completing the

probationary period satisfactorily.

6. To assess the training and development needs of employees.

7. To decide upon a pay raise where (as in the unorganised sector) regular pay

scales have not been fixed.

8. To let the employees know where they stand in so far as their performance is

concerned and to assist them with constructive criticism and guidance for the

purpose of their development.

9. To improve communication. Performance appraisal provides a format for

dialogue between the superior and the subordinate, and improves

SVERI’s COE, MBA Department, Pandharpur (2015 – 2016) Page 17

Page 18: Study on performance appraisal system in ongc ltd., mumbai

MBA Program Solapur University, Solapur

understanding of personal goals and concerns. This can also have the effect of

increasing the trust between the ratter and rate.

10. To reduce the grievance of the employees.

11. Finally performance appraisal can be used to determine whether HR

programmes such as selection, training and transfers have been effective or

not.

Broadly performance appraisal serves four objectives –

(i) Developmental uses

(ii) Administrative uses/decisions

(iii) Organizational maintenance/objectives, and

(iv) Documentation purposes

LIMITATIONS

Errors in Rating

Lack of reliability

Negative approach

Multiple objectives

Lack of knowledge

Methods of Performance Appraisal

Ranking Method:

Under the ranking method, the manager compares an employee to other employees,

rather than to a standard measurement.

Graphical Rating Scale:

Under this method, core traits of employee pertaining to his job are carefully defined

like Attitude, Knowledge of Work, Managerial Skills, Team Work, Honesty,

Regularity, Accountability, Interpersonal relationships, Creativity and Discipline, etc.

These traits are allotted with numerical scale to tabulate the scores gained by

employee.

Assessment Centres:

An assessment centre typically involves the use of methods like social/informal

events, tests and exercises, assignment being given to a group of employees to assess

their competencies to take higher responsibilities in the future.

Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS):

Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scales is a relatively new technique which combines

the graphic rating scale and critical incidents method. It consists of predetermined

critical areas of job performance or sets of behavioural statements describing

important job performance qualities as good or bad. These statements are developed

from critical incidents.

SVERI’s COE, MBA Department, Pandharpur (2015 – 2016) Page 20

Page 21: Study on performance appraisal system in ongc ltd., mumbai

MBA Program Solapur University, Solapur

Human Resource Accounting Method:

Human Resource Accounting is a method to measure the effectiveness of personnel

management activities and the use of people in an organization. HRA is the process of

Assigning, budgeting, and reporting the cost of human resources incurred in an

organization, including wages, salaries and training expenses.

Management by Objectives (MBO):

MBO is a method of mutual goal-setting, measuring progress towards the goals,

taking action to assure goal attainment, feedback, and participation. It is a result

oriented philosophy enabling an employee to measure progress toward a goal which

the employee often has helped set. In the goal-setting phase of MBO, a superior and

subordinate discuss job performance problems and a goal is agreed upon. Along with

mutual goal-setting, a major component of MBO is the performance review session

between the superior and subordinate, which takes place regularly to evaluate

progress towards specified goals.

Self-Appraisal Method:

Self appraisal is an important part of the Performance appraisal process where the

employee themselves gives the feedback or their views and points regarding his

performance. Usually this is done with the help of a self appraisal form where the

employee rates themselves on various parameters, tells about their training needs, if

any, talks about their accomplishments, strengths, weaknesses, problems faced etc

360 Degree Appraisal:

360 Degree Appraisal is a type of employee performance appraisal in which

subordinates, colleagues, co-workers, and managers all anonymously rate the

employee. This information is incorporated into that person’s performance review.

180 Degree Appraisal:

180 Degree Appraisal method is similar to the one of 360 Degree. The different is that

an evaluated person is assessed only by the first-line supervisor and himself.

4.2 Performance Appraisal System in ONGC Ltd., Mumbai

1. Performance Management System (PMS)

Performance planning and assessment is of utmost importance to any human

resource development system. Performance Management System (PMS) is the

process of maintaining or improving employee job performance through the

use of performance assessment tools, coaching and counselling. Individual

contribution drives business results that accomplish the goals of the

organization. PMS provides opportunity for the employee and the performance

manager to discuss development goals and jointly create a plan for achieving

those goals.

A Performance assessment system is a vital element of PMS. It is a strategic

tool towards achieving the objective of the organization and forms the basis

for employee’s development and progression.

Performance Appraisal is a process of assessing and summarizing the work

performance and potential for development of an employee within the

framework of organizational needs.

2. OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Performance Appraisal System are:

To assess the current level of job performance.

Assess training and development needs.

Identify potential for undertaking higher responsibility.

Develop a system of performance-based rewards

Counsel and address employees on areas of improvement.

Explicit time period.

3. EVALUATION

The Performance Appraisal System seeks to evaluate:

Quantification of work plan and performance.

Potential assessment for career growth and promotions

respect of senior officers and other HR initiatives

Deputation

SVERI’s COE, MBA Department, Pandharpur (2015 – 2016) Page 22

Page 23: Study on performance appraisal system in ongc ltd., mumbai

MBA Program Solapur University, Solapur

Payment of Performance related pay (PRP)

Recognition and Awards

Motivating productivity and identification of true performers.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL REPORT (PAR)

Performance appraisal rules report is an index of an employee/executive’s work

performance over a given period of time. It is crucial for his/her Career Growth as it

indicates the Strengths, Weakness (if Any), Training needs, Nature of job being

performed, problems faced in work situation. It is not only crucial for career

progression but also essential for grant Performance Related Pay (PRP). The data

stored centrally can be utilised by management to implement Promotion decision and

release of monetary benefit associated with PRP.

E-PAR PROCESS

Earlier, in ONGC Ltd., Mumbai physical format were being used for performance

appraisal. The experience of filling performance appraisal in physical format revealed

that there was inordinate delay in recording the appraisal; it was very difficult to trace

PAR movement. This also resulted in low priority accorded to record performance

appraisal. The non-availability of PAR had directed impact on many HR processes

like Promotions, Placement, Training, Awards etc.

Considering above need, it introduced e-PAR system. It was implemented in ONGC

Ltd., Mumbai since 2008. The basic purpose of implementing e-PAR system was to-

Have a transparent, multidimensional evaluation system in alignment with

industry practices

Introduce performance contracting and objective evaluation

Timely completion

Supplement efforts to enable speed up HR processes like Promotions, Special

Assignments, Deputation Out, Rewards and Incentives etc. Through system

Streamlining of PAR process

Salient features

Greater transparency by way of joint appraisal system

Q.22Any suggestion on the existing Performance Appraisal System followed in

ONGC?

Note: suggestions are given by the respondent and only randomly some suggestions

are being selected only for presentation.

1. I feel present system is carried out properly.

2. Performance Appraisal should be made more practical, impartial and should

be intended towards overall growth/development of the employee.

3. The appraisal system can be more effective if 360 º Appraisal System is used

for E4 and above level also.

4. Feedback system can be brought into appraisal system. Weightage to be given

at each level of rating e.g. 80% controlling officer, 15% reviewing officer and

5% accepting officer.

5. Steps/ initiatives could be taken in making it more objective like appraisal

discussions before finally filling up PAR by superiors.

6. Personal likes and dislikes exist; therefore some consultant should be hired.

5.2 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

Findings:

1. The very concept of performance appraisal is marketed throughout the

organization; people have accepted it and understood its importance to the

organization

2. Ignores performance in terms of reaching goals, which can be disastrous for

the organization.

3. The job and role expected from the employees should be decided well in

advance and that too with the consensus with them.

4. A neutral panel of people should do the appraisal and to avoid subjectivity to a

marked extent, objective methods should be employed having quantifiable

data.

5. The time period for conducting the appraisal should be revised, so that the

exercise becomes a continuous phenomenon

6. Transparency into the system should be ensured through the discussion about

the employee’s performance with the employee concerned and trying to find

out the grey areas so that training can be implemented to improve on that.

7. Superiors’ response tends to be bias, which makes employees unsatisfied.

Thus, a better system can be installed.

8. Training should be given to average or below average performer. Superiors

concerned can advice on which training program can be enrolled for.

9. PRP do motivate employees but not to a large extent some other methods can

be used.

10. Appellate Authority is active but it should give as early as possible feedback

to the aggrieved party as it may lead to severe dissatisfaction amongst

employees and they may lose hope and may not perform better.

Recommendations:

1. Employees do not have enough knowledge about the performance

management system and performance review techniques that are used in

assessing their performance, awareness should be created for the same.

2. HR professionals of the organization should apply strategic and integrative

approach to performance management.

Page 61: Study on performance appraisal system in ongc ltd., mumbai

MBA Program Solapur University, Solapur

3. HR professionals should communicate well and involve the employees during

the performance management reviews. This will create a climate in which a

continuing dialogue between managers and members of their teams takes

place to define expectations and share information, mission, values and

objectives.

4. After performance reviews, the employee’s should be rewarded with

incentives that will be commensurate with their efforts. These will help a long

way in boosting the morale of the employee’s.

5. Performance review conducting in such a way that all employees are rated

consistent, fair and unbiased.

6. Organization can also use other methods of performance appraisal (like.

Assessment Centre, Critical incident Assessment, MBO) for assessing

performance of employee’s.

7. Organization should conduct periodic performance review for better

performance of employees and improved competitiveness.

8. Proper remarks should be given by superior to their subordinates for further

improvement so that they are able to give their 100%

9. Training need should be identified and should be given to those who actually

need it.

10. Accepting and reviewing officer must have a knowledge about the scope of

work of the appraise

11. One to one discussion with appraise with controlling officer regarding job

satisfaction, improvement areas, etc.

12. Regular sectional meeting regarding work process, suggestion, discussion with

team members etc. This will help to improve productivity and team building.

If all these recommendations are put in place by organization, this has a great

capacity to turn around the fortunes of this corporation.

It would also enable them to achieve the goals for which they were set up as

well as remain influential instruments of public service delivery and

development.

5.3 CONLUSION:

It is concluded from the survey that employees are aware about the performance

management system and are not very satisfied with the current system.

Creating a trust amongst employee about performance review techniques and

maintaining good relationship with employees for improving their performance and

accomplishing goals and objectives of the organization should be taken care of.

This study has shown that performance management is a comprehensive approach to

planning and sustaining improvements in the performance of employees so as to meet

the standards
