*******************************
Learning outcome 1

Performanc e Management can be defined as:
“A continuous process of identifying, measuring and developing the performance of individuals and
teams, and aligning performance with the strategic goals of the organisation”

This definition is thus composed of 2 main components:
❖ Continuous Process: Performanc e Management is an ongoing. It involves a never ending
process of setting goals and objectives, observing performanc e and receiving ongoing
coaching and feedback. Once the end of the process is reached it starts all over again.

❖ Alignment with Strategic goals: Performanc e management requires managers to ensure
that employees’ activities and output are congruent with the organisation’s goals and
consequently help the organisation gain competitive advantage. Performanc e therefore
creates a direct link between employee performanc e and organisational goals and makes
the employee’s contribution to the organisation explicit. Performanc e management
systems that do not make explicit the employee’s contribution to the organisational goals
are not true performanc e management systems.


Performanc e Management is characterized with the following qualities:
❖ Performanc e management is an ongoing process.
❖ Organisational goals should be linked with individuals’ goals.
❖ Performanc e should be monitored and reviewed, and feedback provided.
❖ Employee development is crucial to ensure improveme nt in employee performanc e.

The Performanc e Management Process includes the following steps (Aguinis 2009 adaptation):
(refer to LO 3 – page 5 for full diagram)

❖ Prerequisites
❖ Performanc e Planning
❖ Performanc e Execution
❖ Performanc e Assessment
❖ Performanc e Review

, ❖ Performanc e Renewal and Re-contracting


Learning outcome 2

Performance management is a forward-look ing process, taking frequent measures as work occurs and
responding to small steps forward, while performance appraisal is a back ward-look ing process of
performance, measuring what happened in the past.

According to Aguinis (2009:2), performanc e appraisal refers to a system that involves
employee evaluation once a year without any effort to provide feedback and coaching so that
performanc e can be improved. It is a systematic description of an employee’s strengths a nd
weaknesses. Performanc e management is more than just evaluating employee performanc e.
Performanc e management is an ongoing process rather than a one-off event taking place, for
instance, annually or biannually. It is a comprehensive, continuous and flexible approach to
the management of organisations, teams and individuals which involve the maximum amount
of dialogue between those concerned.
