Features: A key premise assumption of this book is that although work and the environment have changed, the importance of employee performance has never changed. The authors of each chapter in the book are very concerned with change, as well as the relationship between these changes and understanding performance. The purpose of this book is not only to better understand the changes in the nature of performance but also to provide concrete and actionable solutions to address these changes. Changes in the workplace affect how we measure and manage employee performance, making human resources work more complex than ever before. In this new field, a group of persistent experts are focusing on changing work performance and providing specific recommendations for human resources practitioners. These experts have identified seven major, continuous factors that influence individual performance and have pointed out to readers how to develop effective human resource management policies and how to practice them effectively. This book is like a well-structured matrix. The rows of the matrix—technology, temporary employees, changes in the nature of work, performance defined by customers, and other characteristics of modern organizations—represent the sources of changes affecting performance.
