OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To understand existing Performance Appraisal System at India glycols limited Lalkua.

2. To evaluate the Performance Appraisal efforts of India glycols limited.
3. To make suggestion for any corrective measures on the basis of the evaluation done to
improve the Performance Appraisal efforts.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A training period of about eight weeks from 29th June 2006 to 28th August 2006 was taken to
complete the project. The project was conducted under the supervision of the HRD of India glycols
limited, Lalkua. The views were taken from staff only; as my study is based on the performance
appraisal of employees by the staff.
The research methodology followed during the training period is as follows:

Direct communication with Superintendent (HRD) to get the detail regarding Performance
Appraisal system followed in India glycols limited.
Existing files of various Performance Appraisal practices and procedures were also consulted.
A questionnaire was prepared to know the effectiveness of performance appraisal activities
in India glycols limited.
Questions designed were of multiple choices and of close ended nature.
The universe of study is very large in which it is difficult to collect information from all the
employees. So the random sampling method has been followed for the study and 40 members are
taken as the sample size.
The analysis is based on primary as well as secondary data.
Primary Data was collected from the staff members using an appropriate and structured
questionnaire and observing employees of Century Pulp Paper and also by interview of
various staff members.
2
The secondary data was collected from companys appraisal policy documents, official
records and articles from websites, newspapers and magazines.
The tool of Analysis adopted by the researcher was the Percentage method and Column Charts and
Pie Charts are used to present data analysis.
SCOPE OF STUDY
The study has been done with an objective to understand the Performance Appraisal system at India
glycols limited, Lalkua. It is a first exposure of the researcher to practical application of concepts that
are imparted in the classroom. So the scope of the study is narrow, keeping in mind its ultimate
purpose the academic value in MBA programme.
Performance Appraisal efforts at India glycols limited has been understood and survey was
conducted of the employees who have undergone performance appraisal activities to understand their
perception of their efforts. An evaluation has been attempted of the performance appraisal activities
held in the recent past. Some recommendations have also been made from the results that were
obtained from the survey.
LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
1- Sample size taken to collect information was of 40 staff members which was less to give
accurate results.
2- Some of the employees were not interested in filling the questionnaire.
3- The training span i.e. 2 months was very short.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM IN INDIA GLYCOLS LIMITED
The performance appraisal system is a very critical Human Resource Department component. It is
significant element of the information and control system in an organization. It is useful in analyzing
training and development needs. These needs can be assessed because performance appraisal reveals
people who require further training and development practices to remove their weaknesses. Both the
activities (i.e. training and development and performance appraisal) are closely interconnected with
each other.
The appraisal system in India glycols limited is designed in the following manner-
Identification of Key Performance Area and appraise and also find out the specific task in
respect of each KPA (Key Performance Areas).
Description of parameters by which we could measure performance and support needs.
Then a process of joint discussion between appraiser and appraisee through which joint
settlement of key performance area is done.
Joint review of performance is done.
Performance analysis, which describes facilitating/ hindering factors.
Joint rating of performance is done.
Identification of growth needs of individuals.
Arriving at development plans.
Counselling
TYPES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL ADOPTED
At India glycols limited, appraisal is done in the following ways with the help of different formats.
Performance appraisal is carried out in the following four ways covering all levels -
1) PPRD (Performance, Planning, Review and Development).
2) AIMR (Annual Individual Merit Rating).
3) PA II (Performance Appraisal II).
4) Self-Assessment.
5
Performance Planning Review and Development (PPRD)
This technique is used to appraise superintendents and above level. Here appraisal is done on the
quarterly basis. Through this form of appraisal, the commitment of employees towards their work is
judged. Their work-related abilities are tested and also rated.
In this technique, some major or key tasks of the employees are agreed upon through discussions
between employees and their superiors. These tasks may be TPM related activities, ISO-9001:2000
(QMS) & ISO-14001:2006 (EMS) activities, Cost Saving, Optimum Utilization of Resources,
Energy Conservation, Waste Minimization, H.R. Management, House-keeping or Safety related
activities.
Once the key tasks are fixed, they are written down in the order of their priority. Target date for
achieving each key task is also mentioned on the form. This date is fixed after discussions between
employees and their seniors on time constraints involved in each task. After the completion of a
quarter, the status of tasks is filled up. Rating is given to each assigned task. This rating increases
with the more numbers of completed task. If for some unavoidable reasons, the appraisee is not able
to achieve the target or finish his key task within the quarter, then under special circumstances it gets
shifted to the next quarter.
Now, when we know the status of the tasks achieved, we analyse the factors that helped or hindered
in completion or non-completion of the tasks. Then appraiser while appraising the form counsels the
appraisee to improve his performance.
Lastly, the one up superior in ladder reviews the appraisal. The most important aspects of a PPRD
(Performance Planning Review and Development) system are to mention the achievements in
measurable terms and it is being followed strictly in India glycols limited.
This system makes a budding manager learn the essentials of time management and also highlights
some practical problems in the completion of tasks, which otherwise were not considered significant.
Since, everything is fixed by mutual discussions between an employee and his superior; this enables
them to achieve good communication levels.
6
Annual Individual Merit Rating (AIMR)
Superintendents and above are covered under this. It is done once in a year, generally at the
beginning of the year. This is a very useful system since it takes into account not just the physical
aspects of a persons performance like quality of work, quantity of work etc but also the behavioral
aspects of the persons performance like his personality, his attitude towards work, his reliability etc.
In this appraisal form, ratings are assigned to employees based on their two things-
Performance
Dedication
AIMR rating scale is given below: -

4 - OUTSTANDING
3 - VERY GOOD
2 - O.K.
1 - UNSATISFACTORY
Three important parts of the format of AIMR (Annual Individual Merit Rating) are -
1) Performance
2) Character
3) Comments on potential
Performance Appraisal Form II (P.A.II)
Assistant officer(s) & Officer(s) are appraised through this form, which is done on annual basis. It is
assessed by the immediate superior and reviewed by one up in ladder. This form appraises the overall
performance of the employee and then helps in knowing the weak and strong areas of the employee.
This form has five sections-
Sec I Overall performance rating
7
It contains ratings of the employees based on his work accomplishment, work methodology,
job knowledge and personal traits. All these factors comprise the overall performance of an
employee. The ratings are different for different traits. For some ratings, 13 is the highest
ratings whereas for some, 6 is sufficient to indicate the outstanding performance. These
ratings depend on the nature of traits being judged.
Sec II - Appraisal of overall performance

It is the sum total of all the ratings of section I, based on which his performance is
categorized. For this, the form uses hundred point interval scales to measure the performance,
they are -
100 86 - Outstanding
85 71 - Good
70 56 - Satisfactory
55 41 - Needs improvement
Below 40 - Inadequate performance
Sec III - Performance Analysis

This section acknowledges of a persons areas of both excellence and improvement. The
persons contribution to the organisation can be judged this way.
Sec IV - Counselling
In this section, employee himself is asked about his own areas of improvement and also his
reactions towards management appraisal of his performance. Thus, he has a chance to have a
say in his own performance analysis.
Sec V - Capacity for advancement

The final verdict is given based on the above 4 sections, whether the person has the potential
to be promoted and share higher responsibilities or not.
Self - Assessment
8
Self assessment is undertaken by executives from unit head to manager level once a year in the
month of January. This assessment form is confidential and subjective in nature and has no
involvement of the HOD. It is finally assessed by the HRD department.
Details mentioned in this form are: -

a) Personal Details - employee code number, employee name, educational and professional
qualifications and other personal data.
b) Self Assessment- a) Responsibilities, b) Achievements, c) Weaknesses, d) Suggestions to
improve self, e) Suggestions to improve working in the organization
This technique is very useful since it gives an employee a chance to highlight his true self, free from
the biases of the superiors. In other words, the objective of this exercise is to provide an opportunity
to executives for introspection of themselves so that they can improve themselves and discharge their
duties and responsibilities more effectively. There are some weaknesses which an individual alone
knows best. Such weaknesses are also highlighted and solutions to overcome these weaknesses can
be found out. The most striking feature of this form is that it invites suggestions from the employees
side, which is an unusual feature.
The form after filling is submitted to HRD department and the shortcomings is submitted to unit
head for his reviewal.
SYSTEM OF REWARDS

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
10
An organisation is made up 4 resources- men, material, money & machinery. First one is living one,
i.e. human and the other 3 are non-living, i.e. non-human. It is the people that make use of non-
human resources. Hence, people are the most significant resources in the organisation.
From national point of view, human resource are the knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents &
aptitudes obtained in the population; whereas from the viewpoint of the individual enterprise, they
represent the total of inherent abilities, acquired knowledge & skills as exemplified in the talents &
aptitudes of its employees.
HRM is a process of managing people of an organisation with a humane approach. It is an approach

to develop and effectively utilize manpower not only for the benefit of the organisation but for the
growth, development and self-satisfaction of the concerned people. In other words, it is a process of
bringing human resources and organisations together so that goals of each are met. It can be defined
as an art of procuring, developing and maintaining competent workforce in the organisation to
achieve the goals of an organisation in an effective and efficient manner.
OBJECTIVES OF HRM
The present generation of employees is more enlightened and better educated. Todays employees
demand more considerate treatment and a more sophisticated form of leadership. In view of these
emerging trends, HRMs objectives have been expanding all these years. I can listed some of the
objectives as under-
a) To help the organisation to attain its goals.
b) To employ the skills and abilities of the employees efficiently and effectively.
c) To provide the organisation with well-trained and well-motivated employees.
d) To increase to the fullest the employees job satisfaction and self actualization.
e) To develop and maintain quality of worklife in the organisation.
f) To communicate human resource policies to all employees.
g) To maintain ethical personnel policies and behaviour in the organisation.
Thus, HRM in short should try to-

Attain economically and effectively the organizational goals.
11
Serve to the highest possible degree the individual goals.
Preserve and advance the general welfare of the community.
SCOPE OF HRM / PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
The scope of HRM is very wide. But normally the scope is confined by three important dimensions-
I. Personnel aspect- concerned with manpower planning, recruitment, selection, placement,
transfer, promotion, training & development, appraisal, compensation, productivity, etc.
II. Welfare aspect- concerned with working conditions and amenities facilities and benefits, etc.
III. Industrial relations aspect- concerned with union-management relations, collective
bargaining, grievance & disciplinary procedures, settlement of disputes, etc.
The functions of HRM may be somewhat different in different industries but the main scope and
objectives of HRM or Personnel Management remain common.

MEANING OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Performance appraisal is method of evaluating the behaviour of employees in the workspot, normally
including both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of job performance. It is a systematic and
objective way of evaluating both work-related behaviour and potential of employees. It is a process
that involves determining and communicating to an employee how he or she is performing the job
and ideally, establishing a plan of improvement.
Performance appraisal is broader term than Merit Rating. In the past, managers used to focus on the
traits of an employee while ranking people for promotions and salary increases. Employees traits
such as honesty, dependability, drive, personality, etc were compared with others and ranked or rated.
The attempt was to find what the person has (traits) rather than what he does (performance); the
focus was on the input and not on the output. This kind of evaluation was open to criticism because
of the doubtful relationship between performance and mere possession of certain traits.
CHARACTERISTICS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
The main characteristics of performance appraisal are-
The appraisal is a systematic process. It tries to evaluate performance in the same manner
using the same approach. A number of steps are followed to evaluate an employees
strengths and weaknesses.
It provides an objective description of an employees jobs relevant strengths and

weaknesses.
24
It tries to find out how well the employee is performing the job and tries to establish a
plan for further improvement.
The appraisal is carried out periodically, according to a definite plan. It is certainly not a
one shot deal.
Performance evaluation is not job evaluation. Performance appraisal refers to how well
someone is doing an assigned job. Job evaluation, on the other hand, determines how much
a job is worth to the organisation, and therefore, what range of pay should be assigned to
the job.
Performance appraisal may be formal or informal. The informal evaluation is more

likely to be subjective and influenced by personal factors. Some employees are liked better
than others and have, for that reason only, better chances of receiving various kinds rewards
than others. The formal is likely to be more fair and objective, since it is carried out in a
systematic manner, using printed appraisal forms.
OBJECTIVES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Appraisal of employees serves several useful purposes-
a) Compensation decisions It can serve as a basis for pay raises. Managers need performance
appraisal to identify employees who are performing at or above expected levels. This
approach to compensation is at the heart of the idea that raises should be given for merit
rather than for seniority. Under merit systems, employee receives raises based on
performance.
b) Promotion decisions It can serve as a useful basis for job change or promotion. When
merit is the basis for reward, the person doing the best job receives the promotion. If relevant
work aspects are measured properly, it helps in minimizing feelings of frustration of those
who are not promoted.
25
c) Training and development programmes It can serve as a guide for formulating a suitable
training and development programme. Performance appraisal can inform employees about
their progress and tell them what skills they need to develop to become eligible for pay raises
or promotions or both.
d) Feedback - Performance appraisal enables the employee to know how well he is doing on the
job. It tells him what he can do to improve his present performance and go up the
organisational ladder.
e) Personal development - Performance appraisal can help reveal the causes of good and poor
employee performance. Through discussions with individual employees, a line manager can
find out why they perform as they do and what steps can be initiated to improve their
performance.
COMPONENTS OF APPRAISAL EVALUATION
What is to be Appraised?
Generally, the content to be appraised is determined on the basis of job analysis. The content to be
appraised may be in the form of contribution to organisational objectives (measures) like production,
savings in terms of cost, return on capital, etc. Others measures are based on-
1) Behaviours which measure observable physical actions, movements,
2) Objectives which measure job related results and
3) Traits which are measured in terms of personal characteristics observable in
employees job activities.
The content to be appraised may vary with the purpose of appraisal and type and level of employees.
Who will Appraise?

The appraiser may be any person who has thorough knowledge about the job content, contents to be
appraised, standards to be appraised and who observes the employee while performing a job. The
appraiser should be capable of determining what is more important and what is relatively less
important. He should prepare reports and make judgements without bias.
26
Typical appraisers are-
Immediate supervisors
Assessees peers
Assessees subordinates
Assessees himself
Users of services (in service organisations)
Consultants (where management does not trust the self-appraisal or peer appraisal or
subordinate appraisal or supervisory appraisal)
When to Appraise?
Informal appraisals are conducted whenever the supervisor or personnel managers feel it is
necessary. However, systematic appraisals are conducted on the regular basis, say, for example, every
6 months or annually. The time of rating should not coincide with the time of salary reviews, for if
the two occur together constructive evaluation and considerations of self development will probably
take second place to the pressures of pay.
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROCESS
Performance appraisal is planned, developed and implemented through a series of steps.
a) Establish performance standards Appraisal systems require performance standards,

which serve as benchmarks against which performance is measured. These standards must be
clear to both the appraiser and appraisee. The performance standards or goals must be
developed after a thorough analysis of the job. Goals must be written down. They must be
measurable within certain time and cost considerations.
b) Communicate the standards Performance standards must be communicated to appraisees

and their feedback is noted down. Satisfactory feedback ensures that the information
communicated by the manager has been received and understood in the way it was intended.
c) Measure actual performance - To determine what actual performance is, it is necessary to

acquire information about it. We should be concerned with how we measure and what we
27
measure. Four sources of information are generally used to measure actual performance:
personal observation, statistical reports, oral reports and written reports.
d) Compare actual performance with standards - Actual performance may be better than
expected and sometimes it may go off the track. Attempts are made to note deviations
between standard performance and actual performance.
e) Discuss the appraisal Results of appraisal are discussed periodically with the employees,
where good points, weak points and difficulties are indicated and discussed so that
performance is improved. The information that the subordinates receives about his
assessment has a great impact on his self-esteem and on his subsequent performance.
f) Taking corrective action, if necessary Corrective action is of two types. The one which
puts out the fires immediately and other one which strikes at the root of the problem
permanently. Immediate action sets things right and get things back on track whereas the
basic corrective action gets to the source of deviations and seeks to adjust the difference
permanently.
METHODS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
The performance appraisal methods may be classified into two categories-

Past Oriented Methods or Traditional Methods
Future Oriented Methods or Modern Methods
Traditional Methods
1) Ranking method-
Under this method, the ranking of an employee in a work group is done against that of another
employee. The relative position of each employee is tested in terms of his numerical rank. It may
also be done by ranking a person on his job performance against another member of the
competitive group. The quintessence of this method is that employees are ranked according to
28
their levels of performance. While using this method, the evaluator is asked to rate employees
from highest to lowest on some overall criterion.
2) Paired comparison method-
Ranking becomes more reliable and easier under the paired comparison method. Each worker is
compared for every trait with all other employees in the group, in pairs one at a time. The number
of decisions to be made can be determined with the help of the formula N (N-2), where N
represents the number of persons to be compared.
3) Forced distribution method-
Under this system, the rater is asked to appraise the employee according to a predetermined
distribution scale. The two criteria used here for rating are the job performance and
promotability. For this purpose, a five point performance scale is used without any mention of
descriptive statements. Employees are placed between the two extremes of good and bad
performances. For eg- the employees of outstanding merit may be placed at the top 10% of the
scale. The rest may be placed as: 20% - good, 40% - average, 20% - fair and 10% - poor.
In addition to job performance, employees are rated for promotability. The scale for this purpose
may consist of three points- namely, quite likely promotional material, may or may not be
promotional material and quite unlikely promotional material.
4) Graphic or linear rating scale-
Under this method, a printed form is used to evaluate the performance of an employee. This form
contains a variety of traits relating to employee characteristics and contributions such as quality
and quantity of work, initiative, job knowledge, attitude etc. These traits are then evaluated on a
continuous scale.
Sometimes a discontinuous or multiple type of scale is used, wherein one factor is used along a
discontinuous scale, consisting of appropriate boxes which are to be ticked off. The central idea
behind this scaling is to provide the rater with continum representing varying degree of a
particular quality.
29
5) Forced choice description method-
The primary purpose of this method is to correct the tendency of a rater to give consistently high
or low ratings to all the employees. This method makes use of several sets of pair phrases, two of
which may be positive and two negative and the rater is asked to indicate which of the four
phrases is the most or least descriptive of a particular employee.
6) Checklists and weighted checklists method-
A checklist represents a set of objectives or descriptive statements about the employee and his
behaviour. If the rater believes strongly that the employee possesses a particular listed trait, he
checks the item; otherwise, he leaves the item blank. A more recent variation of checklist method
is the weighted checklist. Under this, the value of each question may be weighted equally or
certain questions may be weighted more heavily than others. A rating score from the checklist
help the manager in evaluation of the performance of the employee. The following are some of
the sample questions in the checklist-
Is the employee really interested in the task assigned? Yes/No
Does he follow instructions properly? Yes/No
Does he give respect to his superiors? Yes/No
Does he make mistakes frequently? Yes/No
7) Critical incident method-
Under this method, manager maintains logs on each employee, whereby he periodically records
critical incidents affecting the behaviour of employees positively or negatively. At the end of the
rating period, these recorded critical incidents are used in the evaluation of the employees
performance.
8) Free essay method-
30
It is a non-quantitative method. Under this method, the rater makes a free form, open-ended
appraisal of an employee in his own words and puts down his impressions about the employee.
While preparing the essay on the employee, the rater considers the following factors:
Job knowledge and potential of the employee
Employees understanding of the companys programmes, policies, objectives, etc.
Employees relations with co-workers and superiors
Employees general planning, organizing and controlling ability
Employees attitude and perceptions
9) Field review method-
In this method, a trained, skilled representative of the HR department goes into the field and
assists line supervisors with their ratings of their respective subordinates. The HR specialist
requests from the immediate supervisor specific information about the employees performance.
Based on this information, the expert prepares a report which is sent to the supervisor for review,
changes, approval, and discussion with the employee who is being rated.
10) Group appraisal method-
In this method, an employee is appraised by a group of appraisers. This group consists of the
immediate supervisor of the employee, other supervisors who have close contact with the
employees work, manager or head of the department and consultants. The immediate supervisor
enlightens other members about the job characteristics, demands, standards etc. Then the group
appraises the performance of the employee and offers suggestions for further improvement, if
any.
Modern Methods
1) Management by Objectives (MBO)-
This method has been evolved by Peter Drucker in 1954 when his book The Practice of
Management was first published. MBO is potentially a powerful philosophy of managing and an
31
effective way for operationalising the evaluation process. It seeks to minimise external controls
and maximise internal motivation through joint goal setting between the manager and the
subordinate and increasing the subordinates own control of his work. It strongly reinforces the
importance of allowing the subordinate to participate actively in the decisions that affect him
directly.
MBO can be described as a process whereby the superior and subordinate managers of an
organisation jointly identify its common goals, define each individuals major areas of
responsibility in terms of results expected of him and use these measures as guides for operating
the unit and assessing the contributions of each of its members.
2) Assessment centre method-
This method of appraising was first applied in German Army in 1930. Under this method, many
evaluators join together to judge employee performance in several situations using various
techniques like in-basket, role playing, case studies etc. It is used mostly to help select employees
for the first level (the lowest) supervisory positions.
In this approach individuals from various departments are brought together to spend two or three
days working on an individual or group assignment similar to the ones they would be handling
when promoted. Then observers rank the performance of each and every participant in order of
merit to determine employee potential for purposes of promotions.
3) 360o Performance appraisal-
When multiple raters are involved in evaluating performance, the technique is called 360o
appraisal. It is a process of systematically gathering data on a persons skills, abilities, and
behaviours from variety of sources- managers, peers, subordinates, employees themselves, users
of service and consultants.
4) Human resource accounting method-
HRA is the process of accounting for people as an organisational resource. It tries to place a
value on organisational human resource as assets and not as expenses. The value of employees is
32
increased by investments made by the company to improve the quality of its human resources.
When competent people leave an organisation, the value of human asset goes down.
In this method, employee performance is evaluated in terms of cost and contributions of

employees. Human resource costs include expenditure incurred by the company in hiring,
training, compensating and developing people. The contribution of human resources is the money
value of labour productivity. Employee performance can be measured in terms of employee
contribution to the organisation. Employee performance can be taken as positive when
contribution is more than the cost and performance can be viewed as negative if cost is more than
contribution.
5) Behaviourally anchored rating scales (BARS)-
Also known as the behavioural expectations scales. It is a combination of the rating scale and
critical incident techniques of employee performance evaluation. The critical incidents serve as
anchor statements on a scale and the rating form usually contains 6 to 8 specifically defined
performance dimensions.
The procedure for BARS is usually five stepped.
I. Generate critical incidents from people with knowledge of the job to be appraised.
II. These people cluster the incidents into a small set (5 or 10) of key performance
dimensions.
III. Another group of people who are knowledgeable about the job is instructed to reclassify
the critical incidents generated (in Step I). They are given the clusters definitions and
asked to assign each critical incident to the dimension that it best describes.
IV. This second group is generally asked to rate (7 or 9 point scales) the behaviour described
in the incident as to how effectively or ineffectively it represents performance on the
appropriate dimension.
33
V. Develop final BARS instrument. It is a subset of incidents (6 or 7 per cluster) are used as
behaviour anchors for the performance dimension.
FACTORS DETERRING PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
A. Judgement errors: People commit mistakes while evaluating people and their performance.
Biases and judgement errors of various kinds may spoil the show. Bias here refers to inaccurate
distortion of a measurement. These are-
I. First impressions (primacy effect) The appraisers first impressions of a candidate

may colour his evaluation of all subsequent behaviour. In the case of negative primacy effect,
the employee may seem to do nothing right; in the case of positive primacy effect, the
employee can do no wrong.
II. Halo Effect or Error It occurs when one aspect of subordinates performance
affects the raters evaluation of other dimensions.
III. Horn effect The raters bias is in the other direction, where one negative quality of
the employee is being rated harshly. For example, the ratee does not smile normally, so he can
not get along with people!
IV. Leniency or Strictness Tendency Depending on raters own mental make-up at the
time of appraisal, ratees may be rated very strictly or very leniently. If raters have a tendency
to be liberal in their ratings, i.e., they constantly assign high values to their employees then
the system has not done anything to differentiate among employees. While at some other
times appraisers may have a tendency to assign consistently low ratings.
V. Central Tendency It occurs when appraisers rate all employees as average

performers with a view to avoiding commitment or involvement; or when the rater is in doubt
or has inadequate information or lack of knowledge about the behaviour of the employee, or
when he does not have much time at his disposal.
34
VI. Stereotyping It is a mental picture that an individual holds about a person because
of that persons sex, age, religion, caste, etc. by generalising behaviour on the basis of such
blurred images, the rater grossly overestimates or underestimates a persons performance.
VII. Recency effect Some raters value persons on the basis of their performance in
recent weeks because of this average constant behaviour is not checked.
B. Poor appraisal forms: The appraisal process might also be influenced by the following factors
relating to the forms that are used by raters-
The rating scale may be quite vague and unclear.
The rating form may ignore important aspects of job performance.
The rating form may contain additional, irrelevant performance dimensions.
The forms may be too long and complex.
C. Lack of rater preparedness: The raters may not be adequately trained to carry out performance
management activities. This becomes a serious limitation when the technical competence of a
ratee is going to be evaluated by a rater who has limited functional specialisation in that area. The
rater may not have sufficient time to carry out appraisals systematically and conduct thorough
feedback sessions. Sometimes raters may not be competent to do the evaluations owing to a poor
self-image and lack of self-confidence. They may also get confused when the objectives of
appraisal are somewhat vague and unclear.
D. Ineffective organisational policies and practices: If the sincere appraisal effort put in by a rater
is not suitably rewarded, the motivation to do the job thoroughly finishes off. Sometimes, low
ratings given by raters viewed negatively by management as a sign of failure on the part of
rater or as an indication of employee discontent. So, most employees receive satisfactory ratings,
despite poor performance. Normally, the raters immediate supervisor must approve the ratings.
However, in actual practice, this does not happen.

CHAPTER-2
PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY
Although paper has many uses, its most important contribution to modern civilization is its use as a
medium to record knowledge. Paper represents the perfect adjustment of a basic material to any use
and purpose. Paper is believed to have been first made in China from rags, bark fibers and bamboo as
early as 105 AD. The Chinese soaked pieces of bamboo for more than a hundred days and boiled in
milk of lime for eight days and nights to release fiber.
The industry is primarily dependent upon forest-based raw materials. Large scale mechanized
technology of papermaking was introduced as early as 1905. The Indian pulp and paper industry at
present is very well developed and established. In 1951, there were 17 paper mills, which increased
to 75 during 1975, and at present there are 515 units. The installed capacity of paper mills in the
country has increased from 0.137 million tpa in 1951 to more than 8 million tpa in 2002.
The first paper mill in India was set up at Sreerampur, West Bengal, in the year 1812. It was based on
grasses and jute as raw material. Since then the raw material for the paper industry underwent a
number of changes and over a period of time, besides wood and bamboo, other non-conventional raw
materials have been developed for use in the papermaking. Now, the paper industry is categorized as
forest-based, agro-based and others (waste paper secondary fibre, bast fibers and market pulp).
Pulp and paper industry in India is the sixth largest energy consumer in the industrial sector and its
energy costs account for about 24.5% of the total manufacturing cost. The use of wood based
technology is gradually on the decline because of capital and raw material availability constraints.
The share of waste paper (secondary fiber) based technology, which is less energy intensive, is
expected to increase in future. The production of pulp and paper involves three major processing
steps pulping, bleaching, and paper production. The type of pulping, and amount of bleaching used,
depends on the nature of feedstock and the desired quality of the end product. The production of the
chemical pulps has been dramatically altered over the past decade in response to new environmental
regulations and consumer activism. Although current pulp manufacturing technologies address
required environmental performance regulations, new challenges and opportunities are developing.
The pulp & paper industries in India have been categorized into large-scale and small-scale. The
large-scale paper industries, having capacity above 24,000 tonnes per annum, have installed capacity
36
of 2.0 million tonnes. The rest falls under the small-scale category with an approximate installed
capacity of 1.95 million tones.
Indian paper industry is the 15th largest in the world and provides employment to 1.3mn people in
the country contributing Rs25bn to the Government. The domestic per capita consumption is the
lowest at 6kg compared to the South Asian and the world average of 11kgs and 53kgs respectively.
The Indian paper industry has an installed capacity of 6.7mn tons while, the effective capacity is
estimated to be lower at 6.15mn tons. The industry produced 5.26mn tons of paper in 2003-04.
Newsprint capacity in India is estimated at 1.12mn tons however, domestic production is only
0.59mn tons, while consumption of newsprint is 1.1mn tons.
The demand for paper is influenced by various macro-economic factors like national economic
growth, industrial production, promotional expenditure, population growth and the Governments
allocation for the educational sector. Domestic demand for paper is expected to grow at a CAGR of
6-7%. Indias paper demand is expected to touch 8mn tpa by 2010. A leading global paper industry
consultant projects a shortage of about 0.7mn tpa by 2010.
Industry Capacity Utilization peaking up
Average capacity utilization of major players has been around 99% in FY04. There has been no new
greenfield capacity in the paper industry in the last 8 years. The last major projects were TNPLs
90000 tpa bagasse based mill in 1994 and Sinar Mass 115000 tpa coated paper plant in 1996.
Stringent environment guidelines have been deterring fresh greenfield investment in the sector.

37
Rising paper exports
Most of the organized players are planning to expand their reach to the international markets by
trying to adhere to the global standards and improving the quality of paper manufactured.
The country is almost self-sufficient in manufacture of most varieties of paper and paperboards.
Import, however, is confined only to certain specialty papers. To meet part of its raw material needs
the industry has to rely on imported wood pulp and waste paper. At present about 60.8% of the total
production is based on non-wood raw material and 39.2% based on wood.
Performance of the industry has been constrained due to high cost of production caused by
inadequate availability and high cost of raw materials, power cost and concentration of mills in one
particular area.
Imports of paper and paper products was growing over the years. However, it has increased during
2001-02 after a fall in 2000-01. About 1,40,000 tonnes of paper was exported in 2000-01 mainly to
the neighbouring countries.
India's per capita consumption of paper is around 4.00 kg, which is one of the lowest in the world.
With the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy, an increase in the per capita
consumption of paper is expected.
The demand for upstream market of paper products, like, tissue paper, tea bags, filter paper, light
weight online coated paper, medical grade coated paper, etc., is growing up. These developments are
expected to give fillip to the industry.
Indian paper industry needs the following for being globally more competitive.
Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) and bulk import of
waste paper to supplement the availability of raw materials.
Adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets.
Improvement of the infrastructure.
Quality improvements and reduction in cost of production.
38
Import policy conducive for import of material, equipment, instruments, raw materials &
technologies which are bearing of the quality and environment.

RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of survey through questionnaire and interviews of the staff and HRD personnel, I
hereby propose my recommendations besides what has been recorded in the summary of findings to
carry out further improvement in existing performance appraisal activities in INDIA GLYCOLS
LIMITED, LALKUAN.
1. Some special exercises through training programmes be conducted to generate awareness
about the real purpose of the performance appraisal system.
2. External trainers can be invited to deliberate the importance and intricacies of the
performance appraisal.
3. The supervisor should not play dual and conflicting role of both the judge and the helper.
4. The employees should be given a chance to select the procedure of performance appraisal.
5. Efforts for making Performance Appraisal formats user friendly should be kept continued.
6. The performance appraisal system should take feedback from peers and subordinates (360
degree appraisal) also so as to increase the accuracy and reliability of the data.
7. Proper care should be taken so as to ensure that all the performance appraisal forms are duly
filled and submitted in time.
8. Efforts to make the employees understand that Performance Appraisal system is for their
personal development and growth should be kept continued.
9. Employees should be made to understand that they become more productive, efficient and
effective in their assignments if they take their performance appraisal with total positive
approach.
10. There should be an efficient system of providing feedback to the employees on the basis of
their performance appraisal forms.
66
CONCLUSION
Employees are stepping stones towards success of any organization, so their contribution in smooth
running of an organization can not be denied. As far as India glycols limited is concerned, it is
conducting performance appraisal activities for the continuous growth and development of its
people. Activities are well organized by the HRD Department. In fact, they are quiet effective also.
In my training period that is of 2 months, I interviewed HRD DGM and many other staff members
and also conducted survey through the questionnaire. I found that in India glycols limited,
Performance Appraisal system is used mainly for the staff members and not for the workers and there
are mainly 4 methods that are used for appraising them.
Performance appraisal system of the company is well planned and well justified since head of the
concerned department and subordinates have mutual discussion to decide key performance areas. At
the end of the time limit, superior appraises the performance appraisal and further one up in
hierarchy reviews it so, there is no chance of any biasedness in appraisal.
I can conclude that almost all the performance appraisal activities of the company are highly
beneficial to employees in giving their best contribution to their personal growth and development
also.
Last but not the least; the company is fulfilling all the obligations towards their employees which are
helping in the continuous growth of organization as well as the society. Well defined procedure of
assessment for various forms makes this system competent to achieve its objective effectively.

FUTURE OF THE COMPANY
The management of India glycols limited is very progressive and dynamic in nature and company
envisages becoming one of the top ranking Pulp and Paper manufacturing unit in India within short
time period. The organisation has devised long ranging plans and is going for expansion to increase
its production capacity to 700 T/day from present 450 T/day within next 3-4 months.
It is highly appreciable of the company to incorporate and utilize latest technology in their process
and accrue maximum gains out of it. While it is also a fact that as such paper industry is considered
as one of the oldest industry in the world and still most of the Paper Mills are working on age old
norms. Presently, company is also focusing on energy conservation and planning to adopt 360 degree
Performance appraisal.
In its working the company stresses on cost effectiveness, zero quality defects, zero down time, zero
accidents, zero losses and waste minimization and has scaled new heights in making best quality of
paper even from agro-waste like Bagasse which is relatively a new raw material for paper making.
As a result the organisation has achieved distinguished position in the market with the wide varieties
of paper that they are making.
I trust that with an accomplished background, sound infrastructure and trained & skilled manpower,
the company will not only achieve its targets but shine as one of the biggest and finest Paper Mill in
India.
