10. Few negative stances and replies are
1. 1. “OC should change first and we are not ready for open system” The new system
should be taken as an opportunity to initiate new culture and strengthen existing culture
rather than to wait.
2. 2. “There should be more commitment from Top Management ”Managers should ask
question that how can I use this system for my own learning and growth
3. 3. Where new PA system are introduced as apart of integrated HRD plan ,Promotion
decisions are taken on the basis of potential appraisal and rewards are de linked.
4. 4.”KPA’s in new PA System is another way of making us work hard”- The purpose of
KPA’s is to bring more role clarity and understanding .Performance improves after the
individual acquires more capability. KPA’s are flexible and if some urgent and
unplanned tasks come up the appraisee can change KPA’s.
5. “No body admits his weaknesses, hence open system may fail”-Managers should
encourage their subordinates to speak of their strengths and slowly once climate of
trust and emotional acceptance is built up , the appraisee are likely to come to the point
of talking of their weaknesses.
