Performance appraisal is one of the most crucial processes in human resource management. There are several methods for the appraisal of employees’ performance. There is always the scope for upgrading existing performance appraisals. With time, the cost of employees is likely to increase. So, the organizations need to justify that cost at some point of time in order to sustain their businesses. This paper proposes a hybrid approach for a new type of performance appraisal i.e., Specific, Continuous, Objective, Reliable and more Engaging (SCORE model). A performance appraisal problem is discussed and employees are graded as per the modified approach. This comparison concludes that this hybrid approach is more flexible and satisfactory compared to traditional methods.

Abstract


Performance appraisal is one of the most crucial processes in human resource management. There are several methods for the appraisal of employees’ performance. There is always the scope for upgrading existing performance appraisals. With time, the cost of employees is likely to increase. So, the organizations need to justify that cost at some point of time in order to sustain their businesses. This paper proposes a hybrid approach for a new type of performance appraisal i.e., Specific, Continuous, Objective, Reliable and more Engaging (SCORE model). A performance appraisal problem is discussed and employees are graded as per the modified approach. This comparison concludes that this hybrid approach is more flexible and satisfactory compared to traditional methods.
