MANAGERIAL APPRAISAL
Harold
Koontz has developed a concept of managerial appraisal i.e., appraising
managers. According to this concept the managers attain the organizational
objectives by performing the basic managerial functions, viz., planning,
organizing, leading, motivating, staffing and controlling. Each of these
functions can be performed by performing a number of or series of activities.
For example, performing staffing function
requires performing a series of activities like analyzing jobs of his
department, planning for human resources, deciding upon internal and external
recruitment, developing sources and recruitment techniques. Thus, each function
and sub-function of manager is elaborated into a series of activities. These
activities, in this model are taken as behavior and standards of performance. The
checklist containing the questions in these areas is prepared with a five
degree rating scale, i.e., extremely poor performance, neither poor nor fair
performance and extremely fair performance.
The appraisers rate performance of managers by
assessing weights to the scale and appraise only those areas which are clear
and are supported by adequate knowledge. Thus, this technique measures the
performance of managers in managing organizational environment.
