Ineffective organisational policies and practices

If the sincere appraisal attempt put in by a rater is not properly rewarded, the inspiration to do the job thoroughly finishes off. Sometimes, low ratings given by raters are observed negatively by management as a sign of failure on the part of rater or as an indication of employee discontent. So, most workers receive satisfactory ratings, in spite of poor performance. Generally, the rater's instant supervisor ought to approve the ratings. In actual practice, however, this does not happen. Consequently, the rater 'goes off the hook' and reason considerable damage to the rating procedure.
