The objective of this investigation is to begin to develop an understandable, reasonably valid, and objective merit rating system for professional workers. It is recognized that all conventional merit systems have significant shortcomings. Therefore, by using a results-oriented approach which combines the best features of the critical incident technique with those of the forced choice method, it is hoped to accomplish this goal.

This thesis aims to analyse the system of employee evaluation at a specific company by comparing theoretical knowledge and its practical application and, after evaluating the findings, to propose an optimisation of the current system if necessary. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part uses available literature to define basic concepts in employee performance management and informs about the importance, objectives, prerequisites and criteria for a successful implementation of an employee evaluation system at a company. It also discusses commonly used methods of employee evaluation and the most frequent mistakes encountered in their application. The practical part introduces a specific company and then analyses its current employee evaluation system. This analysis has several parts - the first of them is a situational analysis, determining the current state of employee evaluation at the company, followed by an analysis of the perception of this system by the employees, both managers and executives. The third part evaluates the system's strengths and weaknesses, leading to proposed recommendations that should improve the current state of the employee evaluation system at the company.

The target is to evaluate the effectiveness of employee evaluation in selected company and its link to the reward system. Effectiveness was assessed through a questionnaire survey, which was conducted in the department of preparation of production and quality inspection department. The investigation is due to employees meets the evaluation itself. They are happy with it and find it fair. Certain problems arise in its clarity. On the other hand, many respondents are not completely satisfied with the connection to the evaluation system of remuneration. Based on these findings, three proposals were proposed changes. The first is an increase in relation to wages, which would place the future fee increases at the time wages increased amount of personal evaluation. The second change is the introduction of benefits, collectively awarded according to performance lines. The last change is the introduction of in-house manual payroll calculation.

Notre recherche porte sur l’efficacité des systèmes d’évaluation du personnel. Nous étudions le déroulement de l’entretien annuel individuel, figure clé de l’évaluation. En nous fondant sur le cadre théorique de la structuration, nous montrons comment le déroulement de l’entretien, au-delà du « contexte immédiat de l’interaction », relève de contextes de signification plus larges. Il ressort trois dimensions de structuration des entretiens individuels, articulant les trois propriétés du structurel : la domination, la légitimation et la signification. Le contexte social et organisationnel produit un effet de domination qui soutient la légitimation de la démarche, auprès des acteurs. La signification est construite lors de l’entretien, sous l’effet d’interactions entre des facteurs individuels, relationnels et organisationnels. La structuration de l’entretien a des conséquences organisationnelles et individuelles, analysées en termes d’efficacité du système d’évaluation du personnel.Notre démarche de recherche, comprend une première phase d’analyse préalable combinant deux méthodes d’accès aux données (qualitative et quantitative) qui permet d’explorer le cadre formel des entretiens et de recueillir les perceptions auprès de dyades, composées d’un responsable et d’un collaborateur. La seconde phase, construite autour de deux études de cas, permet d’analyser les données dyadiques dans des contextes organisationnels différenciés. Nos nous appuyons sur une approche multi-acteurs et multidimensionnelle de l’efficacité du concept d’efficacité des systèmes d’évaluation du personnel, afin de rendre compte de son caractère circonstancié et construit. / Our research focuses on the effectiveness of employee evaluation systems. We study the structure of annual assessment interviews, considered to be the cornerstone of evaluation procedures. By underpinning our research on the theory of Structuration, we demonstrate how the structuration of the interview, in addition to the “immediate context of interaction”, depends on broader signification contexts. Three dimensions are identified, following the three properties of structures: Domination, Legitimation and Signification. The social and organizational contexts induce a Domination effect that amplifies the Legitimation of the interview process, as perceived by the actors involved. Signification is constructed during the interview, influenced by interactions between individual, relational and organizational factors. This structuration of the annual interview has organizational and individual consequences, which are assessed in terms of effectiveness of the employee evaluation systems.Regarding our research method, a first phase of preliminary analysis combining two methods of obtaining data (qualitative and quantitative) enabled us to explore the formal framework of assessment interviews and to record the perceptions of dyads, composed of a manager and an employee. The second phase, based on two case studies, enabled us to analyze dyadic data in different organizational contexts. We mobilize a multi-actor and multi-dimensional approach of employee evaluation system effectiveness in order to take into consideration its detailed, particular and constructed character.

The diploma thesis is divided into two parts. In the first one there is theoretical information basement of the thesis's thema. In the second part there are practical analysises. One is about developing of work positions's describtion. The second analysis is about developing new system of employee evaluation. The analysis includes collecting needed information, interpretations and recomandations. The analysis is made in existing company.

The diploma thesis is focused on the analysis and the proposal of changes in the system of employee evaluation and remuneration in a selected company. The introductory part summarize the main theoretical concepts of employee evaluation and remuneration. The current system of employee evaluation and remuneration is described in analytical part of this thesis including an employee questionnaire survey. The final part of this thesis is focused on changes and recommendation to improve current system of employee evaluation and remuneration.

Employee commitment is a concept that seeks to capture the nature of the attachments formed by individuals to their employing organisations. Researchers such as Porter have attempted to identify what factors influence the formation of employee commitment in individuals and how employee commitment (once formed) influences important organisational consequences, particularly employee turnover and business success. In a highly committed workplace, employees understand and agree with the company's strategic goals, are clear about how their work fits into making those goals a reality, are motivated to go beyond narrow job definitions to meet those goals and are confident that their efforts will be recognised and rewarded by their peers, managers and the organisation as a whole. A workplace with committed employees exhibits an 'all for one, one for all' spirit that encompasses both their colleagues and customers - a place where employees do whatever is necessary to ensure the continuous high performance and success of their organisation. In today's business environment, it is imperative that organisations learn to attract, motivate and retain the key talent needed to meet aggressive business goals. Committed employees are more productive and work with a focus on quality to increase customer satisfaction and the profitability of their organisation. High employee commitment also leads to superior performance. Money certainly plays a part in reinforcing employee commitment, but it is clearly not enough in today's work environment. Praise and recognition also tend to build employee loyalty and commitment. People want to feel that they make a difference. The purpose of this study was to determine whether employee commitment is an imperative for business success or not. A literature study was conducted by combining the views of different authors. Following the literature study, a survey was conducted in order to determine employee commitment levels at a wholesale company in Gauteng. The information obtained was reviewed statistically. The key results of the research findings revealed that there is a strong relationship between employee commitment and business success. The employees at the company that was studied are highly committed, and stay at the company because they want to. These commitment levels indicate a workforce that is highly committed and the employees will think twice before they leave. In chapter one, a general introduction to the study will be given, providing aims, problem statements and a description of terms to be used in the study. In chapter two, an in depth literature study will be done and the different elements of employee commitment will be identified and its importance to an organisation. In chapter three, the empirical study and statistical analyses of the data undertaken will be discussed. In chapter four, current situations will be discussed in order to form a synthesis between the literature study and the survey results. In chapter five, conclusions are made, limitations of the current research are discussed and recommendations for future research are put forward. / Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.
