Paper – Aligning Performance Appraisals and Compensation Plans

Due Saturday, November 11, 2017

It is recommend that you approach this assignment in terms of the questions provided as I have outlined below:

1. During the past few weeks, we have learned that there are various methods of conducting employee performance appraisals (e.g., trait, behavioral, ranking, MBO, etc.). The task for this assignment is to pick one and only one of those methods.  

a. explain it,

b. and discuss how it could be effectively used to impact employee compensation.

2. Your response should consider the potential impact the performance evaluation method could have on at least three different organizational stakeholder groups.

3. Also, your assignment must include your thoughts on what organizations can do to prevent ethical and legal challenges that might from arise from linking the method of performance appraisal you chose to employee compensation.

It really helps when you copy the question above your answer to help you stay focused on the question.  A website is not of the same scholarly value for your paper as that of a book or scholarly/refereed publication/ journal article.  

The assignment should be approximately 5-7 pages in length (not including cover page and reference list) and include ample scholarly and professional sources to support your key ideas.
