COMPILATION METHODOLOGY
The approach and methodology that was followed in compilation of this project report on Performance Appraisal System in HAL are described as follows:
Selection of TopicManagement is the process of getting things done by the people and through the people. Amongst all the resources available within the organization, Human Resource is considered as most important and valuable. Organization aims at optimization of output by optimum use of its resources. The soul of the organization i.e. Human Resource can give their best if they are properly groomed and well-directed towards their goal. Their overall development is necessary. The field where the employee lacks and needs development can be decided only when their performance is analyzed or appraised. So, Performance Appraisal plays a vital role in the effective functioning of any organization and that's why I went for this topic.
Selection of OrganizationHindustan Aeronautics Limited, through design, development and production of contemporary aircraft, aero engines and avionics is committed to the defense and civilian needs of the country. HAL is one of the few corporate giants in the world and the only one in Asia, whose capabilities. Extend across the entire range of activities from product conception to after sales support of aircraft technology. HAL, Lucknow follows the modern method of Performance Appraisal i.e.
Page 36
Management of Objective and these all factors led me towards joining this organization as a trainee and an opportunity to conduct a research on the PAS in HAL.
Purpose of Study:
In pursuant of Post Graduate in Human Resource course in Gautam Buddh Technical University, there is a mandatory requirement of on the job training for at least one month. I got an opportunity to do my project in Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Accessories Division .Lucknow. I was given a project to study on existing Performance Appraisal System followed at HAL and recommend additional measures if any for further improvement.
The purpose of my study on Performance Appraisal System is to understand as how these are being implemented in HAL. The aim is to analyze the adequacy and suitability of the measures that are followed.
The purpose of study s also to analyze the Performance Appraisal System in detail by interacting with the management, supervisors and workers and seeing on ground that how far the various measures are implemented and bring out the drawbacks if any and recommend/suggest measures for betterment of the system. While carrying out the analysis due care to be taken to ensure that the analysis is unbiased and without any prejudice to any party.

In industry, performance Appraisal is a systematic evaluation of personnel by supervisors or others familiar with their performance because employers are interested in knowing about employee performance. An appraisal of the employee is undoubtedly necessary at the time of his employment. However, an appraisal on a continuing basis is also very desirable and useful. Actually, evaluation is constantly being done although at an unconscious level. Employees evaluate superiors, follow colleagues and subordinates. What is needed to generate proper control is a formal procedure for evaluating personnel within the organization. Such appraisals are at times described as ratings. Here one individual, after comparison with another is ranked or rated as excellent, normal or average. Such personnel or merit or efficiency ratings are generally used for ascertaining an employee's eligibility for promotion. The personnel department, where it exit, can help materially in fixing the qualities and characteristics to be rated, in determining the person who should make such appraisal as well as prescribing the appropriate procedure.

In industry, performance appraisal is a systematic evaluation of personnel by supervisors or others familiar with their performance because employer lore interested in knowing about employee performance. Employees also wish to know their position in the organization. Appraisals are essential for making many administrative decisions; selection, training, promotion, transfer, wages and salary administration, etc. Besides, they aid personnel research. Performance Appraisal thus is a systematic and objective way of judging the relative worth or ability of an employee in performing his task, Performance appraisal helps to identify those who are performing their assigned tasks well and those who are not and the reasons for such performance.
Roll No: 1012370043 Page 41
Appraising the performance of individuals and organizations is an inherent aspect of managing. It is impossible to make intelligent managerial decisions about individuals without measuring their performance in some manner. Hence, formal Performance appraisal is a system set up by the organization to regularly and systematically evaluate employees performance. The purpose of Performance appraisal is to determine what aspects of performance need to be evaluated. A distinction has to between performance on the job and potential for upward mobility. Sometimes, only the potential, i.e. the ability of the individual and his capacity for development is evaluated. However,in most cases raters are asked to assess both areas. It is easier for raters to appraise performance than determine potential for the latter requires a great deal of knowledge and skill. The job environment may not be conducive for an employee to show his full ability; or he may be restrained from doing so. Attention has to be paid to these aspects before the potential for growth and advancement of an employee is evaluated.

PROBLEM OF CRITERION
Differentiating between individuals is easy provided one knows what aspects to take into account. Although the identification of relevant measures of performance or criterion variables has been thoroughly researched. A very broad definition of criterion is that which is to be predicted. This definition refers to the evaluative standards which measure a persons performance, attitudes, etc. Identifying performance measures is easy if the job is clearly defined but difficult if it is broad. At the lower levels of organization, there are specific jobs, and certain tangible and objective standards of performance can be identified. Further up in the hierarchy, jobs become more complex and dear-cut, tangible standards of performance are difficult to be specified. Irrespective of the level, by and large, most companies use eleven performance
Page 48
measures: quantity of work, quality of' work, waste and breakage, money earned, job knowledge, job tenure, absenteeism, rate of advancement, self-judgment, judgment by peers and judgment by supervisors. These measures can be classified into three broad categories:-
Personal Data This includes personal history, number of grievances, number of times one has been absent, accidents, breakages, etc., all of which are often use to differentiate between good and bad performers. Most studies have worked backwards, i.e. after identifying good and bad performers they studied what personal variables made them good or bad performers. However, there is little evidence to suggest that personal data can predict job performance. A person can be a good worker and drink or gamble at the same time. In view of the conflicting evidence; it is extremely risky to use personal data as an indicator of performance. In fact, several studies suggest that the relationship between personal data measures and production measures is often very low. Thus, if these factors are used to define job success they should be considered relevant criteria in their own right, rather than simple substitutes for more direct measures of job productivity.
Production Data Rate and quality of work, and money earned, and direct measures of performance. These can range from units produced per hour to money earned or lost. Production data are useful for evaluating the performance of people only in some jobs and at some levels. Staff jobs vis-a-vis line jobs, higher- level jobs vis-a-vis lower-level ones, and performance in service organization vis-a-vis production or engineering organization are difficult to evaluate if production is the only
Roll No: 1012370043 Page 49
thing to be considered. Correlations on the reliability of production data have been found to range from 0.05 to 0.85 with the magnitude influenced by the time periods between measures. Hence, a one-shot sample of production data can be very misleading. To get a correct picture of production and output, several samples over a number of time periods should be taken.
Judgmental Data These include self-judgment, judgment by peers and supervisors, and sometimes knowledge of the job. It is one of the most, commonly-used indicators of performance, and probably the most loaded, with errors and problems. Most of the problems arise because it is based on subjective assessment either by the individual or by another individual for him. It is almost impossible to objectify subjective judgments, The difficulty of using this indicator can be gauged merely by giving two persons an answer to an essay test, and examining the reasons for their evaluations, the evaluations will of course vary.
Page 50
2. Rating Scales These methods assess the degree of certain qualities required for the job such as industrious, reliability and dependability. The degree is usually measured on a scale which can vary from 3 point (good, average & poor) to several points. The anchor points in most cases are labeled excellent-poor, high-low or never-always, depending on the format. The general notion that ratings are objective must be regarded with extreme caution. There is no objective procedure.
Page 51
These ratings need to be validated against other methods of evaluation. Human behavior is complex, and traits such as job knowledge, experience, ability to get things done, etc., are hardly independent of each other .Besides, each may be a composite of simpler traits. The validity of the rating also depends on the rater's characteristics. 3. Ranking System One of the disadvantages of the rating system is that it perm its similar totals scores fur two or more individuals the raking system obviates this problem. The rater simply ranks employees in order or merit, which determines the employee's rating. Ranking van be determined either by looking at the total individual and then ranking him in relation to others; or by first identifying several relevant traits I ranking employees separately on each of these traits I and then cumulating these trait-rankings to arrive at the final employee-rankings. 4. Paired Comparison This method is much simpler, requiring the rater to judge which of two workers is superior, instead of having to arrange members of a large group of workers in order of excellence. It makes the rater compare one employee systematically with others individually. Usually only one trait, the overall ability to perform the job, is considered. The supervisor is provided with a bunch of slips each containing a pair of names. The rater puts a tick mark against the individual whom he considers the better of the two, and the final ranking is determined by the number of times that individuals is judged better than the others.
Page 52
5. Forced Choice The forced-choice rating form contains a series of groups of statements, and the rater checks how effectively the statement describes each individual begin evaluated. Of course, each statement carries a weight which is not indicated to the rater. This basic method has a number of variations. Sometimes all the statements may be either favorable or unfavorable. In another variation, from four statements -two positive and two negative -the rater picks the most appropriate and the most inappropriate, for the person being rated .Sometimes, instead of making statements, a simple listing or traits is given. 6. Critical Incident This technique involves three steps. A test of noteworthy (good or bad) on-the-job behavior, usually of specific instances, is first prepared. A group of experts then assigns scale value to them, depending upon the degree of desirability tor the job. The third step is constructing a checklist that includes incidents which define good and bad" workers. Subsequently, supervisors use these list for evaluating the worker. 7. Cost Accounting This menthol evaluates performance from the monetary returns the employee yields to his organization. A relationship is established between the cost involved ill keeping the person, and the benefit the organization derives from hint.
Page 53
8. Forced Distribution In this method the rater is forced to distribute his subordinates into performance categories such as outstanding, good, poor, etc. In other words everyone cannot be given average or good ratings. Hence e some percentage of the subordinates are rated better than the others. The rater distributes his subordinates on scale location which can be top 10 percent to bottom 10 percent, or any variation of the percentages with the values in between. The most-often used distribution is 10, 20,40,20,10, percent, which equates with a normal distribution. This method is useful for rating a large number of employees.
MODERN METHODS:
9. Management by objectives MBO calls on the subordinate to set his short-term performance goals in consultation with his superior. Goals explicitly state the actions which the employ will follow. Instead of being appraised in a traditional way by his superior, the subordinate appraises his own performance by evaluating it vis-a-vis the goals: Before establishing a goal, the individual studies his job, assess his potentialities and formulates some specific plans to reach the goal. The supervisor is not the evaluator, but directs the goal-setting processes to ensure that it matches the objectives of the organization.MBO differs significantly from the traditional approach, for it shifts the emphasis from appraisal to analysis. The .subordinate is no longer examined by his superior for his weaknesses, but examines himself to ascertain his strength and potential.
Page 54
10. Managerial Appraisal This approach to Performance Appraisal involves evaluation of managers in terms of the basic functions and tasks of management. The logic of such appraisal ought to be against standards which measure the quality of a manager, as a manager. With a given classification of the function a series of questions are asked to appraise a manager's performance in each area. 11. Appraisal interviews Many organizations require their supervisor, managers, and other raters to have a periodic discussion with employees about their performance, and particularly to communicate any negative evaluation so that the employee gets a chance to explain. This takes care of the process of natural justice. Norman Maier has described three appraisal interviews each with a specific and slightly different objective:

PROBLEMS IN PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL None of the methods of performance is absolutely valid or reliable. Each has its own strength and weaknesses. Some of the common problems are: Halo effect Error of Central Tendency Opportunity bias Group characteristics bias Knowledge of predictor bias Bias In ratings
Page 56
Some of the salient features of the revised performance appraisal system are as under: 1.Two tier system (IA & RA) 2. Quarterly task setting and evaluation on a quarterly basis. 3. Traits based on the responsibilities associated with each level. 4. Self-appraisal, Management Review Categorization & identification of Training and Development needs, both by IA & RA.

Task setting for each quarter is done, jointly by the Appraisee and the IA, by the 7th of the month of each quarter. The maximum of 100 are distributed among all the tasks, based on their relative weightage / importance, separate task setting and assessment sheets are used for each quarter and the same is signed by both the appraisee and the IA. The task setting sheets are prepared in duplicate and one copy is kept with the appraisee and the other with the IA.
Page 59
The tasks set should, as far as possible be quantitative or measurable either in terms of quantity or time limits. The IA evaluates the performance of the appraisee, by 7th of the first month of the subsequent quarter, after joint discussion with the appraisee, against the set tasks, they award marks for each tasks, keeping in view the maximum marks decided for each tasks at the beginning of the quarter. Completed task setting and assessment sheet of each quarter is retained by the IA and the same is attached by him with the Annual/Probationary PAR at the end of the assessment Year/Period.
3. SELF APPRAISAL:
All Officers should assess themselves in Part B (B.1, B.2 & B.3) of the appraisal format, Self appraisal is aimed at providing Officers an opportunity to assess their performance against mutually agreed tasks. Self appraisal should be brief and to the point. Comments on the self-appraisal by the IA & RA are to be made in the space provided (parts B.4 & B.5). Self-appraisal by Officers should also be taken into account by the IA 7 RA, while making the assessment in Part-C of the format.

Note:I) While the levels of the IA & RA ,in general, should be as above, if the Appraisee is reporting to officers at lower levels, the IA & RA can be in lower grades also.
II) In the case of officers who are directly reporting to senior Executives in Grade VII / VIII / IX / MD / FD / CH and where there are no intermediate Officers, the concerned senior executive will be the IA / RA except in cases which have been specifically mentioned in the circular.
Page 61
5. ASSESSMENT OF TRAITS:
Skills required to be possessed by an officer vary as he moves from one level to the next. Keeping this aspect in view, separate set of traits against which Officers are to be assessed have been devised assessment of the traits have to be made indicating marks scored for each traits out of the maximum marks allotted for each traits both by the IA & RA. For the first trait (performance), marks awarded by the IA will be the equivalent % of the average marks for the year awarded by him in part A.
6. SCALE OF GRADATION:
Total marks Performance Rating 100-90 Exceptional 89-80 Above Average 79-50 Average Below 50 Below average
Overall performance rating to the PRB will be based on the above scale of Gradation.
While indicating the Management Review Categorization, the IA & RA should take into account the educational qualification of the appraisee, variety and richness of experience, job knowledge, effectiveness, personal qualities and his performance on various assignments. The assessment should also be made for officers on probation.

The sixth / eleventh monthly performance appraisals would be the basis for confirmation of

FINDINGS
On the basis of the analysis we can conclude that majority or the employees are satisfied with the Performance Appraisal System adopted in their organization i.e. HAL. Large section of employees has commented that they do not receive proper feedback, counseling and training to improve upon their performance. This is in contrast with the supervisor's responses, who are of the opinion that full attention is paid in each of these fields. Employees feel that the Performance Appraisal system should be simpler and f1uble.There is no doubt that in saying that HAL follows the method Management By Objectives as employees are aware of their predetermined goals & tasks which they have to achieve.

SUGGESTIONS
A pre-determined set of standards of performance level should be made in the beginning. Clear cut indication must be given to the appraisee about what is expected from him/her. Organizational goal or tasks should be conveyed to every employee in advance. Both strengths and drawbacks should be communicated to the appraisee. Channel of communication should be completed should be given to the appraisee. For further improving the performance of appraisee a review counseling session should be held at regular basis. Training, if required, should be given the priority. Sense of self-appraisal should be culminated in the employees also. Aptitude test and other such tests should be held to determine the potential of the employee for the further advancement. Psychological tests should be held to measure the level of motivation in the employees.
