- Summary:
- Federal agencies covered by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 are required to have performance appraisal systems that are to be used as a basis for personnel actions such as training, rewarding, promoting, and removing employees. As such it is essential that the performance appraisal systems be viewed as effective by both supervisors and subordinates. In order to identify the features of performance appraisal systems that are particularly effective and which also meet the legal requirements for these federal agencies, a review of the performance appraisal literature was conducted and federal-sector subject-matter experts were interviewed. The recommendations derived from the literature review and interviews were organized around the following nine themes: legal requirements, user perspective, the role of top management, appraisal as a management tool, linkage to organizational goals, adaptation to organizational needs, system perpetuation, training, and ease of use.
