Appraisal cover

In this revised and updated text, Fletcher and Williams take an evidence-based approach to analysing the key elements of the appraisal process and its place in performance management. Drawing on the academic literature and examples of best-practice, the authors explain how performance appraisal can motivate and develop staff, foster commitment and positivity, and ultimately improve an organisation’s performance.

Key topics covered include:

  • Designing an appraisal system

  • Identifying and developing talent

  • Multi-level and multi-source feedback

  • Appraising professionals

  • Cultural challenges

  • Evaluating and maintaining appraisal systems

Appraisal: Improving Performance and Developing the Individual, 5th Edition, is a standard in the field and essential reading for all students of HRM and occupational psychology, and for any HRM professional looking to develop more effective performance appraisal systems.

‘Performance appraisal has been criticised in recent years, but this book, based on an objective review of the evidence, reminds us of the adage that there is probably nothing better than a well-designed system, but definitely nothing worse than a poorly designed one.’ - Paul Sparrow, Director, Centre for Performance-Led HR and Professor, Lancaster University, UK

‘Performance management has moved from the single practice of performance appraisal to a much broader approach. Fletcher and Williams contribute to a better understanding of these systems and address practical issues that arise in motivating, developing and assessing employee performance in the context of these systems. ’- Adelien Decramer, Assistant Professor HRM, Ghent University, Belgium
