 120 employees was taken into consideration on the basis of convenience sampling. The
 survey was conducted at Chennai SSIPL. The report is divided into three main parts: 1)
 Introduction 2) Research methodology 3) Data Analysis & Interpretation. The tools used
 for the analysis of this research were Percentage Analysis and Chi-Square test.
         The study reveals that the performance of the employees can be improved by
 determining the need for training & development and by providing the same to them. The

1.0 INTRODUCTION
        Performance measurement is the process of assessing progress toward achieving
predetermined goals. Performance management is building on that process, adding the
relevant communication and action on the progress achieved against these predetermined
goals. It is actually a new term for the old appraisal system where employee performance
was regularly reviewed. Today, performance management focuses on ensuring the results
desired by the Organization. Performance management goes through the following steps:
analysis, identifying competencies and key skills, and lastly, continued development and
control of performance management systems. A common approach to assessing
performance is to use a numerical or scale rating system whereby managers are asked to
score an individual against a number of objectives / attributes set during the previous
meeting.
1.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The Primary Objective of the study is to study the Effectiveness of Performance
Management System. And the Secondary Objectives are 1) To study the present PMS
System. 2) To find out the satisfaction level of PMS. 3) To find out the level of
transparency in the system. 4) To find out the need for Training and Development. 5) To
analyze the employees perception towards working climate of the organization.
1.2 LITERATURE SURVEY
1.2.1LANDY, ZEDECK, CLEVELAND (1983)
       The measurement of an employee’s performance allow for relational
administrative decisions at the individual employee level. Performance measurement
allows the organization to tell the employee something about their rates of growth their
competencies and their potential.
1.2.2 ANTONYONI (1996)
       Problems arise from 360degree feedbacks when programs are carried out hastily
or without a strategic control. In some cases subject’s feedback are left to figure out
themselves hot to cope with results and tend not to develop goals and action plans.

       A recent analyzers of this data shared that raters are more lenient if they think the
result will be used for assessment instead of for development purpose.
1.2.4 MCKIRCHY (1998)
       Performance appraisals should focus on three objectives performance not
personalities valid concrete, relevant issue, rather reaching agreement on what the
employee is going to improve in his performance.

because in appropriate or narrowly defined criteria a difficult for peer evaluates to use
and even harder for recipients to apply.

Types of Material Handling System and Equipment over Hauling.
4.0 SUGGESTIONS

The employees can be given feedback about their strong area and improvement required
area every quarterly, which improves their performance more. Training can be given on
soft skills and personality development which makes the employees to perform well in
their job. It has been observed that the company rates their employee’s performance
through critical incident diary. Key Result Areas should be modified annually. PMS
should be planned well in advance and executed in a much more systematic way. It is
suggested to implement 360 degree appraisal also.




                                                             58

(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6332 (Online), Volume 1, Issue 1, January- June (2000)

4.1 CONCLUSION

        The study reveals that, the training and development program conducted by the
company helps the employees to develop their potential skills to achieve their given task
effectively and efficiently. The critical incident diary method helps the managers to rate
the employee’s performance accurately, where in future 360 degree appraisal and self
appraisal are to be implemented. The feedback given by their superiors helps them to
know their strong area and to improve their weak area. The employees are satisfied with
their existing Performance Management System in their organization where some more
modifications can be done to enhance its effectiveness.

Therefore there no is significant association between satisfaction level of employees on training and development and impact of training on performance. 3.2 WEIGHTED AVERAGE ANALYSIS ON SATISFACTIONAL LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM NO.

So there is Strong Correlation between Types of Material Handling System and Equipment over Hauling. 4.0 SUGGESTIONS The employees can be given feedback about their strong area and improvement required area every quarterly, which improves their performance more. Training can be given on soft skills and personality development which makes the employees to perform well in their job.
