PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Performance appraisal is “the process of evaluating the performance and qualification
of the employees in terms of the administration including for promotion, providing
financial rewards and other placement, selection actions which require differential
treatment among the members of a group as distinguished from actions affecting all
members equally.”
Definition:
Performance appraisal is the systematic evaluation of individual with respect to his/her
performance on the job and his/her potential for development.
Performance appraisal is the systematic description of employee’s job relevant strength
and weakness. The purpose is to find out how well the employee is performing his job
and establish a plan of improvement. Performance appraisal is arranged periodically
according to a definite plan. Performance appraisal is not job evaluation. Performance
appraisal refers to how well someone is doing the assigned job. Job evaluation determines
how much a job is worth to the organization and, therefore, what range of pay should be
assigned to the job.
NEED OF THE STUDY:-
• Creating and maintaining the satisfactory level of performance of employees in their
present job.
• Highlighting the employee needs and opportunities for personal growth and development.
• Providing useful criteria for determining the validity of selection and training.
B) Secondary Objectives.
I find a lot of scope to study my topic in this company. All the environments are found
to be provided well opportunity to me.
• To be instrumental in helping employees to better understand their strengths and
weaknesses with respect to their role and functions in the organization
• To help in identifying the developmental needs of employees, given their role and
function
• To increase mutuality between employees and their supervisors so that every
employee feels happy to work with their supervisor and thereby contributes their
maximum to the organization
• Supervisors. In this way, each employee gets to know the expectations of their
superior, and each superior also gets to know the difficulties of their subordinates
and can try to solve them. Together, they can thus better accomplish their tasks
• To provide an opportunity to each employee for self-reflection and individual
goal- setting, so that individually planned and monitored development takes place
• To help employees internalize the culture, norms and values of the organization,
thus developing an identity and commitment throughout the organization
• To help prepare employees for higher responsibilities in the future by
continuously reinforcing the development of the behavior and qualities required
for higher-level positions in the organization
• To be instrumental in creating a positive and healthy climate in the organization
that drives employees to give their best while enjoying doing so; and
• To assist in a variety of personnel decisions by periodically generating data
regarding each employee
LIMITATIONS
1. The performance appraisal study is limited only to the HCCB PVT. LTD, which is
located in Vishakhapatnam.
2. The survey could not be extended to all the employees working in the plant as they
could not spare much time because of their busy schedule of work.
3. The performance appraisal study is conducted on a limited number of employees
and on the entire work force.
4. The answers given by the respondents highly depend on the mood and interest and
thus the accuracy fluctuates sometimes.
5. Sample size is 70 respondents.

Research
methodology
RESEARCH:-
Research is a careful investigation or enquiry especially through search
for new facts in any branch of knowledge.
According to Redman and Mory, “Research is a systematized effort to gain new
knowledge”.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:-
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research
problem. Research methodology not only talks of the research methods but also consider
the logic behind the methods we use in the context of our research study and explain why
we are using a particular method or technique and why we are not using others so that
research results are capable of behind evaluated either by the researcher himself or by
others.
RESEARCH PROCESS:-
RESEARCH DESIGN:
“A Research Design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data
in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in
procedure”.
Generally the Research Design can be conveniently described in 3 ways. They are,
► Research Design in case of exploratory research studies
► Research Design in case of descriptive and diagnostic research
► Research Design in case of hypothesis-testing research studies
The present study is of descriptive study.
SOURCES OF DATA
The sources for collecting the data are from both
● Primary Method
● Secondary Method
Primary Data
The Primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus
happen to be original in character. The tools for collecting this primary data are by two
types namely Interview Method and Questionnaire Method.
Secondary Data
The Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else and
which have already been passed through the statistical process in the company.
SAMPLING PROCESS:
SAMPLE SIZE
All items in any field of in query constitute a ‘universe’ or ‘population’. A finite
subset of the population gives a sample.
The statistical units in the sample are called sample units. The number of units in the
sample is called the size of the sample.
If the size of the sample is less than or equal to 30 then it is called as a small samples.
Otherwise that it if the size of the sample is greater than 30, it is called as large samples.
The sample size of the survey is taken as 100 respondents.
SAMPLING PROCEDURE
Sampling is the selection of group with a view to obtain information about the whole is
group of persons that represents particular community.
The sampling method used was random sampling. This sampling method was used
because of lack of time and lack of through knowledge about the universe. The sample
size was fixed to 70 respondents.
The selected respondents constitute what is technically called as ‘sample’ and the
selection process is called ‘sampling technique’
TYPES OF SAMPLES
There are three primary kinds of samples: the convenience, the judgement sample, and
the random sample. They differ in the manner in which the elementary units are chosen.
A convenience sample results when the more convenient elementary units are chosen
from a population for observation.
TYPES OF SAMPLING:
Stratified Random Sampling: Divide the population into "strata". There can be any
number of these. Then choose a simple random sample from each stratum. Combine
those into the overall sample. That is a stratified random sample. (Example: Church A
has 600 women and 400 women as members. One way to get a stratified random sample
of size 30 is to take a SRS of 18 women from the 600 women and another SRS of 12 men
from the 400 men.)
Multi-Stage Sampling: Sometimes the population is too large and scattered for it to be
practical to make a list of the entire population from which to draw a SRS. For instance,
when the a polling organization samples US voters, they do not do a SRS. Since voter
lists are compiled by counties, they might first do a sample of the counties and then
sample within the selected counties. This illustrates two stages. In some instances, they
might use even more stages. At each stage, they might do a stratified random sample on
sex, race, income level, or any other useful variable on which they could get information
before sampling.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The soft drink industry has grown up to be one of the prestigious industries in the

it was in 1990, Pepsi been introduced for the first time to Indian public. The competition
mainly existed “Thums-up” and “Pepsi”. Consumers are going to be benefited when
competition is stiff. It’s proved beyond doubt with the Indian soft drink. Pepsi objected
the introduction of 300ml bottles by Coca-Cola. However, the objection was overruled
and government of India has permitted Coca-Cola to go ahead with 300ml bottles. While
cola mainly marketing its range amounts metropolitan cities, Pepsi has introduced 300ml
size throughout the country to take an edge over Coca-Cola. Either one buys Coke or
Pepsi, Thump-up or Duke, profits flow only to the American Multinational Corporations
(MNC’s).
Previously, Parley Group has introduced slowly 250ml bottles of Gold Spot Limited
and Citra in the market. At this time, Pepsi has introduced 1000ml bottle. Since 60% of
the marketing is monopolized by one single company and because of its restrictive
practices hundreds of local and small companies could not flourish Parley, Coke and
Pepsi dominated the Indian soft drink market in the ensuing days. Coca-Cola purchased
parleys brand such as Thums-up, Gold spot, etc., along with its distribution network in
1993.
Trade Mark
Our trademarks are most valuable assets. The trademark “Coca-cola” was
registered with U.S patents and trademark office in 1893, followed by “Coke” in 1945.
Today, the world’s favourite soft drink Coca-Cola is also the world’s best known and
admired trademark, recognised zed by more than 90% world population.
Brand positioning
Positioning of the different brand in the Indian soft drink market can be analyzed by
the way various brands have been advertised by the consumers some drinks are meant for
health, some for youthfulness, some has fashionable, and some has thirst quenchers.
Inherent in products and services associated with the coca- Cola Company is desire
to attain the highest level of and customer and consumer satisfaction.

Definition
According to Flippo, a prominent personality in the field of Human resources,
"performance appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an impartial rating of an
employee’s excellence in the matters pertaining to his present job and his potential for a
better job." Performance appraisal is a systematic way of reviewing and assessing the
performance of an employee during a given period of time and planning for his future
Performance appraisal is the systematic description of employee’s job relevant strength
and weakness. The purpose is to find out how well the employee is performing his job
and establish a plan of improvement. Performance appraisal is arranged periodically
according to a definite plan. Performance appraisal is not job evaluation. Performance
appraisal refers to how well someone is doing the assigned job. Job evaluation determines
how much a job is worth to the organization and, therefore, what range of pay should be
assigned to the job.
The process was firmly linke to material outcomes.if an employees’s performance was
found to be less than ideal, a cut in a pay would follow. On the other hand, if their
performance wasbetter than the supervisor expected, a pay rise was in order. Little
consideration was given to the developemental possibilities of an appraisal, it was felt
that a cut in pay, or a rise, should provide the only required impetus for an employee to
either improve or continue to perform well.
It was felt that employees with roughly equal work abilities could be provided with
same amount of money, but they had different levels of morale, motivation &
performance. So basically the payment structure was focussed on the amount of work
rather than the outcome. Morale and self-esteem was the issue which had a major impact
on the performance of different individuals.
As a result, the traditional emphasis on reward outcomes was progressively ree jected.
In the 1950’s in the united states, the potential usefulness of appraisal as tool for
motivation and development was gradually reconised. The general model of the
perormance appraisal, as it is known today, began from that time.
made to use appraisal systems for motivation, for more effective communication, for
strengthening superior-subordinate relationships, for goal setting and work planning and
for improving the total performance of the organization. But in spite of its importance,
uneasiness about appraisal has been a long-standing feature of management. There is no
doubt during the past three decades, many developments have taken place and many
innovations, have been made in managerial appraisal system. Still, many issues remain
Unresolved. Available literature on the subject reveals than even in the western countries,
where systematic appraisals have been widely practice over a much longer period than in
India and where a fair amount of empirical as well as theoretical research on the relevant
issues has been conducted, serious doubts continue to persist about various aspects of
appraisal
appraisal process more formal and structured. Now, the performance appraisal is taken as
a tool to identify better performing employees from others, employees’ training needs,
career development paths, rewards and bonuses and their promotions to the next levels.
Appraisals have become a continuous and periodic activity in the organizations. The
results of performance appraisals are used to take various other HR decisions like
promotions, demotions, transfers, training and development, reward outcomes. The
modern approach to performance appraisals includes a feedback process that helps to
strengthen the relationships between superiors and subordinates and improve
communication throughout the organization.
METHODS OF APPRAISAL
Traditional Method
1. Rating scales
This is the simplest and most popular technique for appraising employee
performance. The typical rating system consists of several numerical scales, each
2. Checklist
This approach is known as the forced choice method because the rater is
forced to select the statements, which are readymade. The rater is given a series of
statements about an employee. These statements are arranged in block of two or
more, and the rater indicates, which statement is most or least descriptive of the
employee. As in the checklist method, the rater is simply expected to select the
statements that describe the rate. The HR department does the actual assessment.
With a limited number of jobs, employee assessment may be based upon a test
of knowledge or an actual demonstration of skills. The test must be reliable and
validated to be useful. Even then, performance tests are apt to measure potential more
than actual performance.
7. Essay method
Under this method the supervisor makes a free form, open ended appraisal of
an employee in his own words and puts down his impressions about his impressions
about the employee. The description is always as factual and concrete as possible. No
attempt is made to evaluate an employee in a quantitative manner. The strength or the
the essay method depends on the writing skills and analytical ability of the rater. The
essay method can consume much time because the rater must collect the information
necessary to develop the essay and then he/she must write it.
In this method, an employee’s actual job behaviour is judged against the desired
behaviour by recording and comparing the behaviour with BARS. Developing and
practicing BARS requires expert knowledge.
MODERN METHODS
A. To establish the goals each subordinate is to attain. The goals typically refer
to the desired outcome to be achieved; these goals can then by used to
evaluate employee performance.
B. Setting the performance standard for the subordinated in a previously
arranged time period. As subordinates perform they know fairly well there is
to do, what has been done, and what remains to be done.
C. The actual level of goal attainment is compared with the goals that were not
met upon. The evaluator explores reasons for the goals that were not met and
for the goals that were exceeded. This step helps determine possible training
needs.
D. Establishing new goals and, possibly, new strategies for goals not previously
attained. Subordinates who successfully reach the established goals may be
allowed to participate more in the goal setting process the next time. The
process is repeated.
3. Assessment centers
The appraisal process begins with the establishment of performance standards; these
should have evolved out of job analysis and the job description.
measurable terms. In case the performance of the employee cannot be measured, great
care should be taken to describe the standards.
Discussing Results
The result of the appraisal is communicated and discussed with the employees on one-
to-one basis. The focus of this discussion is on communication and listening. The results,
the problems and the possible solutions are discussed with the aim of problem solving
and reaching consensus. The feedback should be given with a positive attitude as this can
have an effect on the employees’ future performance. The purpose of the meeting should
be to solve the problems faced and motivate the employees to perform better.
Decision Making
The last step of the process is to take decisions which can be taken either to improve the
performance of the employees, take the required corrective actions, or the related HR
decisions like rewards, promotions, demotions, transfers etc.
CHALLENGES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
An organization comes across various problems and challenges Of Performance
Appraisal in order to make a performance appraisal system effective and successful. The
main Performance Appraisal challenges involved in the performance appraisal process
are:
Determining the evaluation criteria
Identification of the appraisal criteria is one of the biggest problems faced by the top
management. The performance data to be considered for evaluation should be carefully
selected. For the purpose of evaluation, the criteria selected should be in quantifiable or
measurable terms
Create a rating instrument
The purpose of the Performance appraisal process is to judge the performance of the
employees rather than the employee. The focus of the system should be on the
development of the employees of the organization.
Lack of competence
Top management should choose the raters or the evaluators carefully. They should
have the required expertise and the knowledge to decide the criteria accurately. They
should have the experience and the necessary training to carry out the appraisal process
objectively.
Errors in rating and evaluation
Many errors based on the personal bias like stereotyping, halo effect (i.e. one trait
influencing the evaluator’s rating for all other traits) etc. may creep in the appraisal
process. Therefore the rater should exercise objectivity and fairness in evaluating and
rating the performance of the employees.
Resistance
The appraisal process may face resistance from the employees and the trade unions for
the fear of negative ratings. Therefore, the employees should be communicated and
clearly explained the purpose as well the process of appraisal. The standards should be
clearly communicated and every employee should be made aware that what exactly is
expected from him/her.
