discuss performance appraisal situations in organizations
Exercise 2 (Individual)Below are two short cases that discuss performance appraisal situations in organizations (based on real situations). Answer the questions listed after each case. Your responses should be double-spaced and not exceed 1 page per case. Use the information from the textbook to support your answers (external sources are optional).Short Case 1. Company XYZ is a mid-sized R&D organization that is largely based on team work. As a result, semi-annual performance evaluations are conducted at the team and not individual level. Team A received a mediocre rating on the most recent performance evaluation. The manager explained that his appraisal was objective and was solely based on the mediocre quality of the last two projects the team completed which was also evidenced by mediocre customersâ evaluations. Although the team accepted the rating as very objective, one team member expressed his strong disagreement. He said that his own contribution was error-free and he should not be punished for the mistakes of his team members. He demanded to change his performance rating from the mediocre to high.1. As a manager, what would you do in this situation? What would be your response to the employee? Justify your answer. [This is a reactive approach. You need to deal with the situation as it is.]2. Proactively, would you do to avoid such situations in the future? Explain.Short Case 2. Company ZYX is a small consulting organization with 40 employees. The manager who is responsible for employee performance appraisal has a particular way of conducting it. He has a firm belief that formal performance evaluations (with developed criteria, ratings, formal discussions etc.) are an absolute waste of time and should never be done. Instead, he thinks that he is well familiar with each employeeâs work and achievements, and he can easily tell âwhat they are worthâ by interacting with them and observing their performance on a daily basis. As a result, the manager periodically stops at employeesâ desks, talks to them, asks about their progress on projects and discusses other work-related issues. Employees have a lot of daily feedback and seem to like it. However, no written performance appraisal forms are ever filled in. When it comes to pay raises and promotion, the manager makes his decisions and announces them to employees during meetings.1. Do you think this managerâs performance appraisal is sustainable in the long run? Explain your answer?2. Would you suggest any changes in the managerâs approach to performance appraisal? Explain.
