Assignment one- 2 pages

Read the Mitchell article on the emotional responses to performance appraisal feedback.

Assume you are a manager at your current place of employment or at a former employer. In a two-page paper (not including title and reference pages), describe the potential emotional outcomes of your appraisal using Figure 1 on the fourth page (numbered Page 85) of the article.

In addition, considering that each employee might respond differently to your appraisal, explain how you would address each emotion to benefit both the employee and your organization.

You need to use at least one scholarly source in addition to the textbook and your paper needs to be formatted using APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. The conclusions found on pages 22 and 23 of the article (numbered Pages 103 and 104) provide guidance on the effects each emotion may have on the organization.

Assignment two- 1 page

Review Table 8.1 in the second attachment. In one page discuss the following.

Imagine you have just finished an annual review with your supervisor, with positive results. Identify which three outcomes would be most motivating for you.

Imagine you are a manager who just completed an average but generally positive annual review for one of your employees. Identify which three outcomes would be most motivating for the employee. Which would be the most beneficial for your organization?

Discuss why these two sets of three outcomes may or may not be the same, depending on whom they are designed to best serve.

Assignment three- 1 Page

Read attachment three-the Galagan article on using social media as a performance evaluation tool. Considering most employers restrict access to social media in the workplace entirely, this is an interesting step in a new direction primarily driven by Generation Y and their younger counterparts.

In one page discuss how effective you think this medium is for such a sensitive topic. While just a start, how do you think social media or other new media could, and will, be used in the future of performance reviews?
