P. Clayton et H. Ayres, PERFORMANCE-APPRAISAL OR PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT - A TALE OF 2 SCHEMES, Australian journal of public administration, 55(1), 1996, pp. 63-71
After reviewing some of the literature on performance appraisal, this
evaluation presents a case study of the introduction of two related sc
hemes in a single Australian government agency. The reasons one was su
ccessful and the other less so included the ownership by the agency of
the successful scheme; its rapid implementation; and its focus on dev
elopment rather than appraisal.
