2. What’s Your Experience?
1. Have you had a performance
review with your manager?
2. Have you ever led a
performance management
review with an employee?
3. Do you look forward to
performance evaluation
meetings with your boss?
4. What would your ideal
performance review look
like?
3. Continuous Performance Improvement
• Continuous cycle of
improving job
performance with goal
setting, feedback and
coaching, rewards and
positive reinforcement.
– Factors that contribute to
employee success include
knowledge, skills, ability,
(KSA’s) organizational
resources, motivation, and
culture.

5. Goals: Performance and Learning
• Setting goals that are
only performance based
is often a mistake
managers or leaders
make. Developmental
goals that increase skills,
creativity and knowledge
should improve
performance goals as an
outcome of self and team
improvements.
11. Line of Sight
• Knowledge of the
organization’s strategic
goals and how we need
to contribute
– According to research by
Franklin Covey, 56% of
American workers don’t
understand their
organizations’ most
important goals.
– 81% don’t have clearly
defined goals.

1. Set Goals - What do you
base the goals on? How do
you know what is appropriate?
2. Promote Goal
Commitment - Under what
conditions will an employee
be motivated to pursue a goal?
3. Provide Support and
Feedback - How will the
employee reach the goal?
What resources will be
necessary?

15. Feedback
• When employees receive
feedback about their
performance, it should
be either instructional or
motivational (not
negative).
– Instructional feedback
serves to clarify roles or
teach new behavior.
– Motivational feedback
serves as a reward or a
promise of a reward.
16. Organizational Feedback Trouble
1. Feedback is used to punish, embarrass, or put down
employees
2. Those receiving the feedback see it as irrelevant to
their work.
3. Feedback information is provided too late to do any
good.
4. People receiving feedback believe it relates to matters
beyond their control.
5. Employees complain about wasting too much time
collecting and recording feedback data.
6. Feedback recipients complain about feedback being
too complex or difficult to understand.

anonymous feedback
from one’s superior,
subordinates, peers,
vendors and customers
with self-perceptions.

19. Effective Feedback
• Performance, not personalities
• Specific to observable behavior
or measurable results
• Channel toward key result areas
• Timely – as soon as possible
• Give positive feedback for
improvement, not just final
results
• Base on accurate & credible
information
• Pair with clear expectations for
improvement.

24. Failure of Extrinsic Rewards
• Too much emphasis on monetary rewards
• No “appreciation effect”
• Extensive benefits become entitlements
• Counterproductive behavior is rewarded
• Delay between performance and rewards
• Too many one-size-fits-all rewards
• Use of one-shot rewards have a short-lived
motivational impact
• Demotivating practices such as
layoffs, across-the-board raises and cuts, and
excessive executive compensation
26. Maximizing Extrinsic Rewards
• Integrate Pay for Performance
• Base incentive determinations
on objective performance data.
• Engage employees in the
development, implementation,
and revision of the
performance-pay formulas.
• Encourage two-way
communication for early
detection of pay-for-
performance issues.
27. Maximizing Extrinsic Rewards
• Use participative suggestion
systems or problem-solving teams
• Reward cooperation/teamwork
• Engage managers to avoid fear of
employee involvement
• Pay annual bonuses in a lump
sum to maximize motivational
impact
• Selectively use creative noncash
rewards to create buzz and
excitement
28. The Law of Effect
• Behavior with favorable
consequences is
repeated, behavior with
unfavorable consequences
disappears.
• I work really hard and am
not rewarded. The law of
effect would suggest that I
will
a. Quit
b. Keep trying to impress the
right people

32. Shaping Job Behavior
1. Accommodate the process of behavioral
change.
2. Define new behavior patterns specifically.
3. Give individual performance feedback .
4. Reinforce behavior as quickly as possible.
5. Use powerful reinforcement.
6. Use a continuous reinforcement schedule (for
new behaviors)
7. Use a variable reinforcement schedule for
maintenance
8. Reward teamwork - not competition.
9. Make all rewards contingent on performance.
10.Never take good performance for granted.

Our next series of slides will move out of the text to discuss Organizational Learning Culture
While the average age of the working population is going up, organizations are now going through a massive influx of younger workers. The result is that today’s corporations are likely to have four distinct demographic groups all working together. The transfer of knowledge and culture from more experienced workers to new peers is crucial, as is the acceptance by older workers of new ideas from younger generations.http://joshbersin.com/2007/10/01/a-new-organizational-learning-model-learning-on-demand/
http://joshbersin.com/2007/10/01/a-new-organizational-learning-model-learning-on-demand/L&D = Learning and Development. Larger organizations generally have an organizational development and training department, but not all. These principles are just as relevant to medium and small businesses, but often resources are not available or not applied to consider organizational learning, which is a mistake.
http://joshbersin.com/2007/10/01/a-new-organizational-learning-model-learning-on-demand/EPSS – Electronic Performance Support Systems, which again may not be available in smaller businesses, but would be worth the investment.
Management by objectives is a system that incorporates participation in decision making, goal setting, and feedbackThe three steps to effective implementation of goal-setting programs are outlined here. Key points to remember under each are as follows: Number one, goals can be based on such things as time and motion studies or the average past performance of job holders. Deciding what is appropriate needs to be decided participatively between the employee and the boss.Number two, employees are typically motivated to pursue a goal that they consider reasonable, obtainable, and fair.Number three, in providing support, managers must consider factors, besides motivation, that will impact the successful accomplishment of the goal. For example, employees may require training or extra support before they can reach their goals.
Why would 360 degree feedback be more effective than just manager feedback?The textbook suggests research on 360-degree feedback found that improvement was more likely to occur when feedback indicates change is necessary; and recipients have a positive feedback orientation, perceive a need to change their behavior, believe the change is feasible, and set goals to enact the change.

This model focuses on three common components of an organizational reward system. The types of rewards can be either extrinsic or intrinsic, a topic discussed on the next slide. The desired outcomes organizations hope to achieve from their organizational reward system are broadly described as attracting, motivating, developing, satisfying, and retaining employees. The distribution criteria can be based on results or actions and behaviors, which are performance criteria. Results are the tangible outcomes such as individual, group, or organization performance and quantity and quality of performance; whereas, action and behavior examples include teamwork, cooperation, risk taking, and creativity. Other distribution criteria are non-performance considerations such as the type of job, tenure, or seniority.
Graphic from article by Allen Whittom & Marie-Christine RoyReward systems need to incorporate the aspects of a job that allow employees to grow and develop as a person, and at the same time realize the power of pay and benefits. Examples of intrinsic rewards are feelings of competence or accomplishment. These are driven by positive feelings associated with doing well on a task or job.Examples of extrinsic rewards are money, praise, and recognition.
Four key intrinsic rewards underlie a person’s level of intrinsic motivation: A sense of meaningfulness is the opportunity you feel to pursue a worthy task purpose. Managers lead for meaningfulness by creating a a non-cynical climate, clearly identifying each employee’s passions, communicating an exciting vision and relevant task purposes, and assigning whole tasks.A sense of choice is the opportunity you feel to select task activities that make sense to you and to perform them in ways that seem appropriate. Managers lead for choice by delegating authority, placing trust in workers, not punishing for honest mistakes, communicating a clear purpose, and providing information.A sense of competence is the accomplishment you feel in skillfully performing tasks you have chosen. Managers lead for competence by making sure employees have the knowledge they need to succeed at their jobs, providing positive feedback, recognizing employees’ skills, providing challenging assignments, and setting high, non-comparative standards.A sense of progress is the accomplishment you feel in achieving the task purpose. Managers lead for progress by creating a collaborative climate, recognizing and rewarding milestones, promoting celebrations, providing access to customers, and measuring improvement.
Pay for performance is the popular term for monetary incentives tied to one’s results or accomplishments that determine at least some portion of employees’ paychecks.Research has shown that 41 percent of companies with single-digit revenue growth said the cost outweighed the benefits of the pay for performance plan and actually led to adverse results for 26% of those surveyed.The result was just the opposite for companies with double-digit revenue growth. It is clear that the implementation, support, and communication of these plans is critical for their success and that they may not be appropriate in some situations.
Thorndike law of effect
Thorndike law of effect
The four ways that contingent consequences control behavior are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, and extinction. Positive reinforcement makes behavior occur more often by contingently presenting something positive. Negative reinforcement makes behavior occur more often by contingently withdrawing something negative. Punishment makes behavior occur less often by contingently presenting something negative or withdrawing something positive. And extinction makes behavior occur less often by ignoring or not reinforcing it.
Reason: Allowing members to understand the need for change.Research: Providing important information that supports the reason.Resonance: The understanding of change must reach to the core beliefs of members.Redescriptions: The basis for change must be expressed in multiple forms (numbers, graphics, etc.). Schein suggests that the stories which bind members together are the most important (Schein, 2004)Resources and Rewards: Members must have the tools they need to complete the change, and a reward for success (beyond simply keeping your job).Real World Events: Change will not be successful if it doesn’t relate to real life and what’s occurring outside of the organization.Resistances: Every human comes from their personal paradigms and resistance to change is inevitable, but can be overcome.
