Performance management can focus on performance of the organization, a department, processes to build a product or service, employees, etc. According to Hale and Whitlam (2000, p. 3), the emergence in the late 1980s and the development after the 1990s, of the competency movement had a significant impact on the evolution of the performance management concept.

Biographical details

The main purpose of using Likert scale is that it provides a variation of scores and it tends to be more reliable.

Performance management statements

Questionnaire refinement

If you encounter problems, you can improve the questionnaire so that it is understood by all respondents.

DATA ANALVSIS

  • Data capturing
  • Data analysis

Validity and reliability

  • Validity
  • Reliabi lity

The instrument was stable because the measurements of the respective respondents were the same on both occasions. To test the extent to which the instrument items were homogeneous and reflected the same underlying constructs, Cronbach's alpha was used.

ETHICAL AND LEGAL ISSUES

To test whether the instrument ensured consistent results, the results of the respondents who completed the pilot survey were compared with the results of the same respondents when they completed the second survey.

ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGES

  • Advantages
  • Disadvantages

It can result in a lack of respondent rapport and motivation - respondents may feel that the answer choices provided do not express or predict their opinions. At the end of the questionnaire, space was provided for the respondents' comments.

CONCLUSION

Do not discriminate against respondents who are shy and do not easily express their opinions - no elaboration is required when they answer.

INTRODUCTION

SECTION 1: UNIVARIATE ANALYSIS & BIOGRAPHGICAL DETAILS OF THE RESPONDENTS

It is used to present the data from the sample and interpret the findings accordingly. The age of respondents ranged from 25 to 55 years, taking into account respondents older than 55 years.

SECTION 2: BIVARIATE ANALYSIS

Managers regularly use assessment data to allocate staff to the most appropriate tasks and roles. The table above shows that most respondents were female, only 32 were male. The majority of respondents' seniority at TSA ranged from 2 years to < 5 years.

SECTION 3: PERCEPTIONS OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CROSS TABULATION REPRESENTATION)

The majority of respondents (69.86%) believed that the institution had clearly defined objectives, purpose and strategy. 60.27% of respondents, as well as women, disagreed with this statement and felt that they did not have up-to-date descriptions of their role. The majority of respondents (60.27%) indicated that managers do not actively collaborate with employees to plan, monitor, measure and share feedback on their performance.

However, 21.92% of the respondents whose service time varied between 2-5 years agreed with this statement. The table above also shows that 21 % of the respondents between 25-29 years did not agree with this statement. 9.59% of respondents agree that employees have ready access to the latest goals from colleagues, superiors and the teams they contribute to.

The majority of respondents (60.27%) believed that employees are not positively committed to clear, focused, appropriate and practical individual development plans. The majority of respondents (69.86%) reported the perception that managers and their employees do not regularly discuss and share responsibility for personal development planning.

DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS

71.2% of respondents were of the opinion that managers did not provide coaching to their reports to help them develop knowledge and skills. It is evident that 72.6% of the respondents believe that managers do not carry out regular evaluations of the achievements, competences and development of employees; and talk to them about it. 64.8% of respondents felt that shortcomings and highlights in performance were not detected and discussed/acted upon immediately.

The majority of respondents also believed that performance was not discussed openly and in a timely manner. 5.1% of respondents agreed with the statement that managers regularly make and discuss appraisals with staff. The majority of respondents (69.9%) believed that managers and their employees did not regularly discuss and share responsibility for personal development planning.

The majority of respondents (64.4%) believed that managers did not provide their staff/employees with quick, specific and proven performance feedback. The majority of respondents (69.9%) of respondents believed that managers and their employees regularly discuss and share responsibility for personal development planning.

HYPOTHESIS TESTING

  • Hypothesis 1
  • Hypothesis 2

According to Lockett (1992, p. 64), without the necessary training and development, people cannot increase their level of competence and therefore their performance is limited. The first hypothesis stated, "Line managers have a negative attitude towards the performance management system in TSA. Managers ensure that the expectations of their staff are demanding 24.7 60.3 and fair, with due regard for roles, abilities and.

Managers make regular evaluations of the competence and development of the achievements of the staff; and discuss these with them. Employees are actively engaged in all phases of the PM process as 35.6 45.2 relates to them. Managers actively engage with their staff/employees in 30.1 60.3 planning, alignment, monitoring, sharing feedback on and.

The table above shows that the majority of respondents are not in favor of the current performance management system at Technikon SA. An average of 70.4% disagree, supporting the hypothesis that existing performance management is considered ineffective.

ANALVSIS OF VARIANCE

Null hypothesis: There is no difference between the different lengths of service groups with respect to the routing statements. Since f is greater than the critical value (9.675 > 2.77), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means. Null hypothesis: There is no difference between the different age groups regarding role clarification statements.

Since f is greater than the critical value (34.763 > 3.06), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means. Null Hypothesis: There is no difference between different length of service groups with respect to role clarification statements. Since f is greater than the critical value (36.06 > 2.77), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means.

OBJECTIVE SETTING

Null hypothesis: There is no difference between different service group lengths with respect to the task/objective statements. Because f is greater than the critical value (19.67 > 2.77), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means.

OUTPUT ALIGNMENT

Since f is greater than the critical value (6.79 > 2.77), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means. Since f is greater than the critical value (7.09 >3.06), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means. Since f is greater than the critical value (11.42 > 2.77), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means.

Since f is greater than the critical value (17.395 > 3.06), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means. Null hypothesis: There is no difference between the different lengths of service groups regarding the ongoing performance monitoring. Since f is greater than the critical value (46.86 > 2.77), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means.

Since f is greater than the critical value (11.21 > 3.06), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means. Since f is greater than the critical value (36.28 > 2.77), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are statistically significant differences between two or more pairs of means.

    • CONCLUSION

There is a great need to communicate the goals of the organization as well as performance management. The main purpose of the research was to investigate the attitudes, perceptions and past experiences of employees regarding the implementation of an effective performance management system at TSA. The main findings of the study reveal different perceptions of the academics regarding the performance management system.

Performance management should be implemented for the benefit of the technikon and employees and should not compromise service delivery. Top management should reaffirm its dedication to the effective implementation of the performance management system. A survey should be conducted on the perception of the impact of PM on improving work standards.

The study addressed potential facts regarding academics' perceptions of performance management implementation at Technikon SA. The results of the study show that there are still problems in the implementation of the performance management system.
