PSYC 5110 - Assignment 5.1 - Performance Evaluation Process

Instructions

Aamodt (2016) defines performance evaluation as the way of providing feedback to the employee of the organization and in turn offering an evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses so that training can be implemented in the future. Performance appraisal is a way to measure that the employee is also achieving the organization's goals.

According to Aamodt (2016), the performance evaluation process consists of nine interrelated steps:

Step 1: Determine the reason for evaluating performance

Step 2: Identify environmental and cultural limitations

Step 3: Determine who will evaluate performance

Step 4: Select the best evaluation methods to achieve the goals

Step 5: Training the evaluator

Step 6: Observe and document performance

Step 7: Evaluate performance

Step 8: Communicate evaluation results to employees

Step 9: Dismissal of employees
