This study explored the effect of performance management on employee performance. A total number of three hundred and twenty (320) copies of questionnaire were administered to the respondents during the study: While three hundred and three (303) copies were properly filled and returned for the analysis. Data collected were analyzed using the statistical tools of frequency counts, simple percentage for the demographic data while the inferential statistics of Chi Square (X2) test was used to test all the stated hypotheses at 0.05 (5%) level of significance. The findings of the study showed that performance management is significantly related to organisational performance. The study recommends that there should be meaningful dialogue between superiors and subordinates about performance and improvement. Managers and supervisors should dialogue on regular basis about performance and improvement with their subordinate at Nigeria Flour Mills PLC.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the study
Organizations are run and steered by people. It is through people that goals are set and objectives are accomplished. The performance of an organization is thus dependent upon the sum total of performance of its members. The success of an organization will therefore depend on its ability to measure accurately the performance of its members and use it objectively to optimize them as a vital resource (Biswajeet, 2009).
In the present highly competitive environment, organizations have to ensure peak performance of their employees continuously in order to compete and survive at the market place effectively (Prasad, 2005). Performance of an individual can be defined as the record of outcomes produced as specified job functions or activities during a specified time period (Bernardin, 2007). It can also be seen as a set of outcomes achieved during a certain period of time and does not refer to the traits, personal characteristics, or competencies of the performer.
Performance management on the other hand can be defined as a systematic process for improving organizational performance by developing the performance of individuals and teams (Armstrong, 2012). According to Briscoe and Claus (2008) performance management is the system through which organizations set work goals, determine performance standards, assign and evaluate work, provide performance feedback, determine training and development needs and distribute rewards. Performance management is a process involving performance planning, performance managing, performance appraisal, performance rewarding and performance development (Deb, 2009). Performance appraisal can be defined as the formal assessment and rating of individuals by their managers (Armstrong, 2012).
Performance appraisal as an element of performance management is often carried out to reveal individual employee’s contribution to the overall organizational objectives. To drive this notion home Biswajeet (2009) asserted that people do not learn unless they are given feedback on the results of their actions. For corrective actions to take place feedback must be provided regularly and it should register both successes and failures.
1.2 Statement of the study
The process of managing the performance of employees in an organization is often vague, the areas of performance for which an individual is responsible are often unclear and evaluations are often not based on actual performance but on the perceptions and judgment of an employee’s immediate boss. Therefore, an ill-conceived and ill-considered performance management system could create tensions in the organization.
The process of measuring and subsequently actively managing organizational and employee performance in order to improve organizational effectiveness is currently seen as critical to the onward survival and development of organizations (Inyang, 2008). It may be positively dangerous simply to copy schemes used in other organizations, and worse still to copy methods simply because it is the managerial fashion (Agarwal, Angst and Magni, 2009). It is on this background that this research seeks to examine the effect of performance management on employee performance with a special reference to Nigeria Flour Mills PLC.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
The primary aim of the study is to examine the effect of performance management on employee performance. Other specific objectives shall include:
(i) To examine the relationship between performance management and employees’ attitude to work.
(ii) To explore the nexus between performance management and organizational performance.
(iii)To examine whether performance appraisal reveals employees’ actual strengths and weaknesses in the organization
(iv) To examine the methods adopted in the organization to measure employee performance.
(v) To suggest ways by which performance management could be used to enhance employee performance.
