Features: What if employees are fickle? What if organizational performance is poor? This book, Performance Management, explains from the perspectives of occupational psychology and organizational psychology what methods are truly effective and how to analyze employee behavior to genuinely improve organizational performance. Building upon existing views on performance management, this book combines practice to articulate a brand-new concept of performance management. It summarizes existing perspectives on performance management and, based on this, elaborates on a brand-new concept of performance management through practice. The author inherits the views of predecessors while also raising various questions. It can be said that the author's comprehensive and profound discussion of this issue is unprecedented. For many corporate leaders, performance management means traditional performance evaluation, or perhaps performance-based pay. This understanding is very narrow, overly focusing on individual performance without giving enough attention to the work itself and the various related factors that constrain it. If the needs and interests of those affected are taken into account, it is necessary to adopt a method in the design and development of performance management that allows employees to participate more effectively. A concept that must be established is to view employees as the company's assets. This means formulating and implementing plans related to information sharing, participation, skill development, and employee future development. This book is divided into three parts: Chapter 1 defines performance management, explains why it is introduced, and presents different views on performance management. Chapters 2 to 6 discuss the organizational and individual factors that influence performance from both organizational and individual perspectives. Chapters 7 to 10 cover the assessment, improvement, and rewards of performance, as well as the design and implementation of performance management. Manager's Shelf. What if employees are fickle?
