This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: B+, University of Leicester, course: Masters Degree - Employee Relations and Human Resource Management, language: English, abstract: Manufacturing firms based in Malta are striving to improve productivity levels in their quest to sustain their competitiveness, thus the need to assess employees’ performance is becoming crucial. Performance Appraisals (PA) is a tool which is associated with employee performance evaluation. However, researchers tend to disagree on the effectiveness of such systems. Academics claim that PAs improve employees’ performance through commitment, motivation and output increases, whilst providing an optimal basis for a reward system and training needs. Conversely, it is argued that PAs are flawed from inception since they are subjective, biased and unfair. Additionally research strongly indicates that no conclusive evidence can be provided whether productivity increases as a direct result of PAs outcome. Thus, the objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the effectiveness of PAs within manufacturing firms in Malta. The study critically assesses research on PAs and their effectiveness towards company goals, whilst identifying a set of criteria derived from the literature to test the extent of PAs effectiveness. The methodology chosen is of a qualitative and exploratory nature based on a non-probability, self-selection sample applied through interviews with HR Practitioners. The interview responses are then categorised in themes, each evaluated to test the effectiveness of PAs. The research reveals that medium and large-sized manufacturing firms in Malta, undertake PAs mostly as a control mechanism and reward system. The findings reject the notion that PAs are totally flawed and ineffective. However, HR Practitioners tend to agree that subjectivity in ratings, appraisers’ incompetency and reluctance by managers to undertake PAs, conduces to ineffective outcomes. The investigation discloses that HR Practitioners experience difficulties in assessing PAs fairness. Moreover, tangible productivity improvements including production output increases and higher quality could not be credibly associated with monetary savings as a direct result of PAs outcomes. Based on the outcome of this dissertation, the author recommends a number of initiatives to improve appraisees’ productivity as a direct result of PAs outcome, thus ensuring their effectiveness. These include setting formal PAs policies, training appraisers to administer PAs and ensuring that formal performance standards are in place. [...]

Download or read book EBOOK: Evaluating Social Work Effectiveness written by Juliet Cheetham and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 1992-10-16 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social work has an impact on large numbers of citizens through its services for children and families, elderly people, those with mental or physical health problems and offenders. It also provokes much criticism; its effectiveness is questioned and there are increasing demands for this to be demonstrated. This text discusses how this task may be tackled and explores possibilities for evaluative research in contexts which are often not considered feasible for such enquiry. Paying particular attention to the diverse and complex functions of social work, the book reviews the implications for choosing and adapting research methodologies, emphasizes the importance of identifying the process of social work as well as its outcomes and distinguishes between the identification of effectiveness and its evaluation. It also describes the various means of dissemination which are necessary if research is to influence policy and practice. The book, which gives many examples of research in action, draws on evaluative research in Britain and the US and also on the experience of the Social Work Research Centre. It has been written for researchers, managers, practitioners and students with responsibilities to undertake or to understand the systematic evaluation of social work.

This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.

Book excerpt: Wall Street Journal Bestseller "The pick of 2014's management books." –Andrew Hill, Financial Times "One of the top business books of the year." –Harvey Schacter, The Globe and Mail Bestselling author, Robert Sutton and Stanford colleague, Huggy Rao tackle a challenge that determines every organization’s success: how to scale up farther, faster, and more effectively as an organization grows. Sutton and Rao have devoted much of the last decade to uncovering what it takes to build and uncover pockets of exemplary performance, to help spread them, and to keep recharging organizations with ever better work practices. Drawing on inside accounts and case studies and academic research from a wealth of industries-- including start-ups, pharmaceuticals, airlines, retail, financial services, high-tech, education, non-profits, government, and healthcare-- Sutton and Rao identify the key scaling challenges that confront every organization. They tackle the difficult trade-offs that organizations must make between whether to encourage individualized approaches tailored to local needs or to replicate the same practices and customs as an organization or program expands. They reveal how the best leaders and teams develop, spread, and instill the right mindsets in their people-- rather than ruining or watering down the very things that have fueled successful growth in the past. They unpack the principles that help to cascade excellence throughout an organization, as well as show how to eliminate destructive beliefs and behaviors that will hold them back. Scaling Up Excellence is the first major business book devoted to this universal and vexing challenge and it is destined to become the standard bearer in the field.
