Abstract:
A formal employee performance appraisal is regarded as one of the tools of human resources
performance management. People, their knowledge and skills are currently considered to be the
most valuable resource a company has. The article focuses on methods of employee performance
appraisal in agricultural organizations in the Czech Republic. The first part of the article deals
with the theoretical background of the term “formal appraisal” and employee performance appraisal
methods as defined by Czech and foreign specialists. Further, the article describes, based
on a questionnaire survey, employee performance appraisal methods that are considered important
for the agricultural organizations in the Czech Republic. The aim of the article is to identify
the current state of formal employee appraisal in a sample group of agricultural organizations
and to test dependencies between selected qualitative characteristics. The outcomes show that
the most commonly used methods of employee performance appraisal in agricultural organizations
include predefined goal-based performance appraisal, predefined standard outcome-based
performance appraisal and appraisal interviews. Agricultural organizations apply these methods
in particular due to the fact that their findings are further utilized in other areas of human
resource management, such as reward system and personnel planning. In statistical terms, dependency
between the method of employee performance appraisal according to predefined goals
applied by agricultural organizations and personnel planning (an area of human resources management)
has been proven (p-value: 0.032, Phi coefficient: 4.578).
