WHAT IS PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT?

Development stands for Improvement of an individual's
effectiveness in terms of their role or profession beyond the immediate task or
job (ibid). Performance Development is a timely considered matter to increase
Organizational performance and efficiency. Dr. Ryan Giffen says
that Performance development is a strategy that plays a vital role in any
company. Performance development planning, or PDP, reduces the inaccuracies of
the general annual review process and, instead, empowers the managers and
employees to take an active approach toward positive management and better
performance.
HOW TO DEVELOP PERFORMANCE
In order to develop individual performance, it is mandatory to
have a performance development plan which helps to achieve both individual and
organizational goals. Locke and Latham's Goal Setting Theory based on the idea that setting specific and measurable goals is
more effective than setting unclear goals. Also, Goal Setting Theory emphasise 5 principles as follows
01. Clarity:
Goals must be clear and specific. When employees understand
project objectives and deadlines, there is much less risk for
misunderstandings.
02. Challenge:
Goals should be sufficiently challenging to keep employees engaged
and focused while performing the tasks needed to reach each goal. Goals that
are too tedious or easy have a demotivating effect and will, therefore, result
in less achievement satisfaction.
03. Commitment:
Employees need to understand and support the goal they are being
assigned from the beginning. If employees don't feel committed to the goal,
they are less likely to enjoy the process and ultimately achieve the goal.
04. Feedback:
Feedback is an important component of the goal-setting theory.
Regular feedback should be provided throughout the goal-achieving process to
ensure tasks stay on track to reach the goal.
05. Task complexity:
Goals should be broken down into smaller goals. Once each smaller
goal is reached, a review should be performed to update the employee on the
overall progress towards the larger goal.
As per this Concept, it is mandatory to set clear and achievable
Goals that motivates employees to reach Long term Vision of the Organization.
HOW EMPLOYEE RELATION HELP TO DEVELOP PERFORMANCE
In order to develop and measure performance, an Organization
should have clearly defined Goals. When talking about employee relationship
with performance development, there is a positive significant relationship
between employee relations and employee performance as well as between employee
relations and organizational performance, and unfair labour practices generates
a major cause of poor employee relations (Dr. Janes O. Samwel, PhD, Vol. 2, No. 04; 2018). Employee relations have significant positive influence on
employees’ performance level. Similarly, employee relations have influence on
employee engagement level at the job place. When employees find harmonious
relations with their boss in the organization they feel encouragement to do
more work for the organization (Shaheen Ahmed, Dr. Fais Bin Ahmad, Dr.
Abdul Rahman Jaaffar,2017) .

ReplyDeleteCertainly Ranga! As you have mentioned in your article that performance Development is a timely considered matter to increase Organizational performance and efficiency and Employee relations have significant positive influence on employees’ performance level.
I completely agree with your point of view!
Employee relations and performance development are intertwined, with clear goals and positive relationships driving organizational success. By setting specific and challenging goals, providing feedback, and fostering commitment, organizations can enhance individual and overall performance. Moreover, nurturing positive employee relations encourages engagement and productivity, ultimately maximizing organizational effectiveness.
ReplyDeleteEmployee relations and performance development go hand in hand. By fostering positive relationships with employees, organizations can enhance performance and productivity. Clear goal setting, regular feedback, and a supportive environment are key. When employees feel valued and supported, they're more motivated to excel, benefiting both individual and organizational goals.
ReplyDeleteYou have done a good job, Ranga. However the article could do with some real-life examples or case studies on how effective employee relations practices are in terms of contributing to performance development for an organization. I would have liked to see a section where common challenges are discussed when it comes to implementing employee relations strategies on performance development and how a company can overcome this. For an example, resource constraints where limited financial resources or inadequate staffing can constrain a company's ability to invest in a comprehensive employee relations program for performance developed. As highlighted by Armstrong and Taylor (2014), "resource constraints, such as limited budgets or staffing shortages, present obstacles to the effective implementation of employee relations strategies, limiting organizations' capacity to invest in performance development initiatives."
