The performance of employees can affect the capacity of an organisation to achieve its objectives. In this subject we identify the tools and techniques used by organisations to assess employee performance. We then investigate how these performance assessments are used to allocate employee financial rewards to individuals and groups. Our evaluation of performance and reward management systems is focused on the fairness and effectiveness of these systems for various stakeholders.
Intended learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Explain and critically evaluate systems for assessing and rewarding employee performance
- Apply theory and research to individual problems in case studies
- Understand the implications of different performance and reward management systems from the perspective of employees, supervisors and HR professionals
Generic skills
- Critical thinking, which should be fostered by the application of theories relevant to performance management systems and to contemporary organisational practice
- Problem solving, which should be developed by assignments that will require students to apply principles discussed in lectures and readings to case study situations
- Oral and written communication, which should be developed in class discussion and in preparation of group assignments
