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
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
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
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
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
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

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

III. Final Appraisal Report: The final assessment would be done at the
end of assessment year. Weight-age for Performance and Potential
varies with level of executives.
Stage – I (Initial Report – INR)
In this stage the PAR chain is obtained by the PAR officers from Head of
different departments for the executives working in that department. The PAR
officer generates PAR in the system in the month of March for next
assessment year and place reporting chain for each executive as received from
concerned departments. The PAR is available to individual in ‘WEBICE’ on
1st April, i.e. on the first day of assessment year for writing KPIs. The
executives write KPIs in consultation with the Reporting Officer. The
SVERI’s COE, MBA Department, Pandharpur (2015 – 2016) Page 25
MBA Program Solapur University, Solapur
Reporting Officer has to accept these KPIs, which are targets for the year. The
executives may take a print out of these KPIs.
Stage - II (Mid Term Review – MTR)
The PAR is available to executives again in the month of October for Mid
Term Review. During this process an executive may change the KPIs set in
the initial reporting or can change weightages given against the KPIs. The
KPIs/ weightages set during the MTR are final targets and based on these
targets executive is assessed at the end of the year.
Stage – III (Final Assessment Report – PAR)
In the initial evaluation, individual writes self-appraisal based on KPIs/ targets
fixed in INR/MTR. The assessment is done by Reporting/ Reviewing/
Moderating/ Accepting authorities as per PAR chain.
As on date, 6 different formats of e-PAR applicable to different classes of employees
are in circulation.
For Class- II, III and IV level employees will have only one stage FAR – Final
Appraisal Review. This means there is no KPI setting for these categories and
as such the PAR window for them will open only during FAR. During FAR,
the E0 level/Class II employees are required to fill their self-appraisal. Class –
III and IV will not have to fill anything online. Their PAR processing will start
from controlling officer (Appraiser).
For E1 to E6 executives, the process has three stages Initial KPI setting, Mid
Term Review and Final Appraisal. E1-E6 process where process starts at the
beginning of the assessment year with setting of KPI.
For E7 and above also have only one stage FAR – Final Appraisal Review.
The format is as per PESB
Final scores are conveyed to the employees including the marks given at
Reporting/ Reviewing/ Accepting level.

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.
7. A better system is to be explored, analysed and introduced.

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.

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
