Current Practices in Performance Appraisal
Abstract
: A questionnaire survey of 196 executive directors of private voluntary
social service agencies showed that two methods of performance
appraisal were most widely used in evaluating employee performance,
ie, essays & rating scales. The results-oriented method of
performance appraisal, generally viewed in management literature as
the most effective approach to performance appraisal, was seen by
agencies participating in the research as performance improvement
& salary or wage increment. The strengths & weaknesses of
alternative methods of performance appraisal currently used in human
service agencies are reviewed. The results-oriented method of employee
evaluation is discussed with emphasis on implementation. 2 Tables.
