1. Write a detailed note on the performance management system and appraisal .
Performance management is a systematic approach to managing the process
according to which the performance and development of individuals and entities within the institution are actively managed to ensure that the strategy and vision of the US are achieved.

Performance management therefore entails:
i. The definition of the performance that is being managed (design);
ii. The process of performance management (implementation); and
iii. The management of the consequences of the performance (integration).

4. OBJECTIVES OF A PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
i. The most important objective of the performance management system is to
achieve the performance objectives of the University.

ii. To raise the work performance of individuals to a higher level and to develop the capacity and ability of the University to sustain performance.
Individual development is a central, important component of the management of
performance.

iii. Individual accountability and responsibility for individual performance, as well as development.

iv. The establishment of a framework for effective and regular performance feedback.

v. The establishment of a framework for individuals to take ownership of their own
career planning and management by focusing on development initiatives.

vi. The creation of management information that enables the organisation to take
decisions with reference to other Human Resource processes, such as
remuneration and training, for example.

vii. To identify underperformance and to implement and justify the resultant corrective follow-up actions

Faculties and Support Service Environments

The strategic direction and objectives of the University should be interpreted
actively by each faculty and support service environment. The contribution of the
faculty or environment to the strategic objectives must be defined so that
divisional heads and departmental chairpersons have a framework within which
the divisions/departments can function in order to make their respective
contributions.

Department/Division

In the pursuance of the above-mentioned objectives to realise the raison d’être of
the US, the greatest demands on a performance management system are made
by departments within faculties and service divisions in terms of their unique
aspects that have to be accommodated. The contributions that are made at the
departmental/divisional level will consequently be diverse. However, the
contributions of the divisions/departments serve as the building blocks of the
environment/faculty and the process and structure of the department and
division’s business plan (if one is preferred) should therefore be of such a nature
that it can accommodate these unique aspects, yet still define the generic
contribution of the faculty or environment.
