Assignment - Performance Reviews Discussion
1. Read the following statement: Many companies have shifted from traditional annual performance appraisals to frequent, constructive, and future-focused development reviews.
2. Complete all 3 parts of this paper.
3. Part 1: Apply expectancy theory to explain why more frequent feedback and strengths-based focus of the new performance review process might motivate employees more than the traditional judgment-oriented, problem-focused, annual performance appraisal process.
4. Part 2: Research 2 to 3 journal articles which discuss the pros and cons of adding frequent vs yearly feedback. Respond to the following questions in light of these articles:
Are there employees who need frequent feedback and those who don't need feedback as frequently? Cite the journal articles to support your response.
Is there a time when providing this type of feedback may be beneficial and times when it is not called for? Cite the journal articles to support your response.
5. Part 3: Write a brief (1 to 2 paragraph) policy change that describes a new way to provide feedback based on expectancy policy. Provide specific details such as frequency of feedback and detailed guidelines for meeting with staff.
