VARIOUS FACTORS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL IN THE ORGANIZATION

Abstract

Organizational performance is a ubiquitous term which is nevertheless loosely defined. Though the construct depends on a number of unique factors associated with each organization, yet the lack of a universal definition makes it challenging for professionals to concur about what exactly they mean by organizational performance. This CQ Dossier summarizes the existing evidence about the financial, social, psychological, and operational aspects of organizational performance to arrive at a comprehensive definition and introduce interventions how to improve it. The economic performance looks at financial and market outcomes which assess the profits, sales, return on investment for shareholders, and other financial metrices. The operational performance, on the other hand, focuses on the observable indices like customer satisfaction and loyalty, the firm’s social capital, and competitive edge derived from capabilities and resources.

Abstract

Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Program is India’s response to the challenge of meeting the holistic needs of children below six years of age, adolescent girls, as well as expectant and nursing mothers, through the network of Anganwadis. In this background, an attempt is made to assess the awareness levels and knowledge about ICDS of Anganwadi Workers of Nalgonda Zone, Telangana District, India. Eight Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) were selected from each of the five zones of Nalgonda district. Thus, a total of 40 AWCs were included in the present survey. Performance of each of the Anganwadi Workers (AWW) from the identified AWCs was assessed as per the ‘Form No. 1’of ICDS. Using simple statistical tools such as proportions and averages, the performance of various districts and various activities were analyzed and appropriate inferences were drawn. The researchers have concluded from the results obtained from the survey that 100% of AWWs of Nalgonda zone were very well aware about the ways and means of taking care of pregnant women and lactating women except those related Kangaroo Method Care (KMC), which is known only to only 10% of AWWs. All the surveyed AWWs had knowledge about infant feeding and family planning.
