According to the text, an organization’s employee performance evaluations should define, measure, monitor and provide feedback to an employee about their job performance; i.e. how effectively they have been working. The text also states, and in my opinion is of higher importance, that the role of a performance evaluation is the setting of job standards to ensure that the employee’s productivity and focus are in alignment with the mission and vision of the company to help execute the ultimate purpose for the company’s existence. By setting an employee’s performance objectives in line with the organization’s performance goals, a competitive advantage can be gained by capitalizing on individual employees’ strengths and competencies. Other uses for performance evaluations that have been well designed, according to the textbook, may be to further enhance employee development, motivate and encourage employees to take on more responsibility or initiative, develop an inventory of employee skills for better human resource planning, help increase communications between supervisors and employees, fulfill a legal requirement to defend HR actions, and they can also provide HRM research tools to evaluate and/or...

The 360-degree feedback is one of the applications of performance management. As it is mentioned in the textbook, “The 360-degree feedback approach involves collecting performance information not just from the supervisor but from anyone else who might have firsthand knowledge about the employee’s performance behaviors.” Typically, these other sources of information about the employee’s performance come from his peers, subordinates, and customers. To conduct the 360-degree feedback, firms need to use evaluations from different portions of that involved in their business. First of all, it is important to collect assessments of an employee from his peers. In this part, employees are required to review for each other that are at the same level. Employees who are co-workers know each other’s ability better than anyone else from different levels in their company. In order to get reliable evaluations, peer reviews require all participants to be objective to others.

    ...A Study on Performance Appraisal & Career Development of Faculties in Indian School of Business & Technology, Chennai CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION PERFORMANCE The Oxford English dictionary defines Performance as the “accomplishment, execution, carrying out, and working out of anything ordered or undertaken”. Armstrong and Baron argue that performance is a matter not only of what people achieve, but how they achieve it. And performance is a multidimensional construct, the measurement of which depends on a variety of factors. Brumbach offers the most precise definition, “Performance means both behaviors and results. Behaviors are also outcomes in their own right and can be judged apart from results”.

Performance versus Outcomes Campbell defines Performance as Behavior. It is something done by the employee. This concept differentiates performance from outcomes.
