LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Performance Appraisal may be defined as a structured formal interaction between a subordinate
and supervisor, that usually takes the form of a periodic interview (annual or semi-annual), in
which the work performance of the subordinate is examined and discussed, with a view to
identifying weaknesses and strengths as well as opportunities for improvement and skills
development.
A critical factor related to an organizations long-term success is its ability to measure how well
employees perform and then use that information to ensure that performance meets present
standards and improves over time. This process is referred to as performance appraisal or
performance evaluation. It can also be defined as the process by which an employees
contribution to the organization during a specified period of time is assessed. If used effectively,
it can improve employee motivation and performance.
Once the employee has been selected, trained and motivated, he is then appraised for his
performance. Performance Appraisal is the step where the Management finds out how effective it
has been at hiring and placing employees. If any problems are identified, steps are taken to
communicate with the employee and remedy them. Performance Appraisal is a process of
evaluating an employee performance in terms of its requirements. Performance Appraisal can
also be defined as the process of evaluating the performance and qualifications of the employees
in terms of the requirements of the job for which he is employed for purposes of administration
including placement, selection for promotions, providing financial rewards and other actions
which require differential treatment among the members of a group as distinguished from actions
affecting all members equally. Performance appraisal is a formal system that evaluates the
quality of a workers performance.
An appraisal should not be viewed as an end in it self, but rather as an important process within
abroader performance management system that links:
Organizational objective
Day-to-day performance
Professional development
Rewards and incentives

2.2 HISTORY OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL


The history of performance appraisal is quite brief. Its roots in the early 20th century can

5|Page
betraced to Taylor's pioneering Time and Motion studies. But this is not very helpful, for the
same may be said about almost everything in the field of modern human resources management.
As a distinct and formal management procedure used in the evaluation of work performance,
appraisal really dates from the time of the Second World War not more than 60 years ago. Yet in
broader sense, the practice of appraisal is a very ancient art. In the scale of things historical, it
might well lay claim to being the world's second oldest profession!

Appraisal system has been defined by Dulewicz (1989) as a basic human tendency to make
judgments about those one is working with as well as about oneself." Appraisal, it seems, is both
inevitable and universal. In the absence of a carefully structured system of appraisal, people will
tend to judge the work performance of others, including subordinates, naturally, informally and
arbitrarily.

The eminent management expert, McGregor defined the performance appraisal system as the
formal performance appraisal plans are designed primarily to meet the organizational needs and
to provide systematic judgments.

Appraisal also tells the employees as to how they are doing and about the required changes in
their behavior, attitudes, skills or job knowledge, in other words, making the employees aware as
to where they stand in the eyes of superiors. These form the basis for the coaching and
counseling of employees by their bosses.

The human inclination to judge can create serious motivational, ethical and legal problems in the
workplace. Without a structured appraisal system, there is little chance of ensuring that the
judgments made will be lawful, fair, defensible and accurate. Performance appraisal systems
began as simple methods of income justification. That is, appraisal was used to decide whether or
not the salary or wage of an individual employee was justified. The process was firmly linked to
material outcomes. If an employee's performance was found to be less than ideal, a cut in pay
would follow. On the other hand, if their performance was better than the supervisor expected, a
pay rise was in order. Little consideration, if any, was given to the developmental possibilities of
appraisal. If was felt that a cut in pay, or a rise, should provide the only required impetus for an
employee to either improve or continue to perform well. Sometimes this basic system succeeded
in getting the results that were intended; but more often than not, it failed.

For example, early motivational researchers were aware that different people with roughly equal
work abilities could be paid the same money and yet have quite different levels of motivation
and performance. These observations were confirmed in empirical studies. Pay rates were
important, yes; but they were not the only element that had an impact on employee performance.

It was found that other issues, such as morale and self-esteem, could also have a major
influence.As a result, the traditional emphasis on reward outcomes was progressively rejected. In
the 1950sin the United States, the potential usefulness of appraisal as tool for motivation and

6|Page
development was gradually recognized. The general model of performance appraisal, as it is
known today,began from that time.

In modern times Performance appraisal may be defined as a structure formal interaction


betweena subordinate and supervisor, that usually takes the form of a periodic interview (annual
or semi annual), in which the work performance of the subordinate is examined and discussed,
with aview to identifying weaknesses and strengths as well as opportunities for improvement and
skill development .In many organizations but not all appraisal result are used, either directly or
indirectly, to help determine reward outcomes. That is, the appraisal results are used to identify
the better performing employees who should get the majority of available merit pay increases,
bonuses, and promotions (Goel, 2008).

2.3 360APPRAISAL
360 degree appraisal is an approach to performance appraisal that involves gathering
performance information from people on all sides of the manager above, beside, below and so
forth (De Nisi & Griffen, 2008). This approach allows management to 18 match the strengths
and weaknesses from each perspective and gain a more accurate, rounded view of a persons true
performance (Conway, 1996). Rees and Porter (2003, p.83) define 360 degree appraisal as
aprocess that involves the key people in a persons network of working relationships making
assessments of a persons performance. They subordinate being appraised is then given
structured feedback; this may involve feedback from subordinates and any key outside parties, if
it is practicable.
Some of the subordinates that may give feedback are the immediate manager, other management
in the organization, peers, internal and external customers and suppliers.
360 degree appraisal can be used to reduce the bias of the appraisal process by removing top
down ratings by managers. This is done by replacing them with a multisource assessment
(Grint,1993). However, Prowse and Prowse (2009, p.73) argued that a manager in 360-degree
appraisal collates feedback rather than judges performance and summarizes evaluations and so
the validity of upward appraisal means the removal of subjective appraisal ratings.
Using the 360 degree appraisal technique can mean there will be more negative feedback given,
and this is known to demotivate staff. It is therefore vital that the managers are using the
feedback received from the other raters wisely and ensure it is consistent and unbiased (De
Nisiand Griffen, 2007, Prowse and Prowse, 2009).
De Cenzo and Robbins (2007) feel that appraisers should only rate in those areas in where they
have substantial job knowledge. They should be as close as possible to the organizational level of

7|Page
the employee being evaluated. If the appraiser is not in 19 positions where they can observe the
persons work behavior then there is a greater chance of in accuracies.

2.4 IMPORTANCE AND PURPOSE


Performance Appraisal has been considered as the most significant an in dispensable tool for an
organization, for the information it provides is highly useful in making decisions regarding
various personnel aspects such as promotion and merit increase. Performance measures also link
information gathering and decision making processes which provide a basis for judging the
effectiveness of personnel sub-divisions such as recruiting, selection, training and compensation.
Accurate information plays a vital role in the organization as a whole. They help in finding out
the weaknesses in the primary areas. Formal Performance Appraisal plans are designed to meet
three needs, one of the organization and the other two of the individual namely:
They provide systematic judgments to back up salary increases, transfers, Demotions or
terminations.
They are the means of telling a subordinate how he is doing and suggesting needed
changes in his behavior, attitudes, skills or job knowledge. They let him know where he
stands with the Boss.
Superior uses them as a base for coaching and counseling the individual. On the basis of
merit rating or appraisal procedures, the main objectives of Employee Appraisal are:
To enable an organization to maintain an inventory of the number and quality of all
managers and to identify and meet their training needs and aspirations.
To determine increment rewards and to provide reliable index for promotions and
transfers to positions of greater responsibility.
To suggest ways of improving the employee s performance when he is not found to be up
to the mark during the review period.
To identify training and development needs and to evaluate effectiveness of training and
development programmers.
To plan career development, human resource planning based potentials.

2.5 EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL


From reviewing the literature, there appears to be no one single best method of Performance
Appraisal, although there are certain common elements throughout all effective methods.
Effective performance appraisals are commonly associated with clear goals that are attached to

8|Page
specific performance criteria and are well-accepted by both appraiser and appraise (Mustapha &
Daud, p.158). All effective performance appraisals include elements such as linking appraisal to
rewards, the supervisor and employee working together to identify goals, performance goals
clearly defined, feedback given to the appraiser on their effectiveness and compliance with legal
requirements (Rankin & Kleiner, 1988).

2.6 FUNDAMENTALS OF AN APPRAISAL SYSTEM


In order to be effective, an appraisal system needs to be perceived by workers as:
Relevant and applicable to everyday work.
Acceptable and fair.
A mutual collaboration between management and workers.
A performance appraisal system that meets these criteria is likely to have the greatest impact on
workers satisfaction with the appraisal process and their motivation to improve performance.

2.7 APPRAISAL METHODS


In a landmark study, Performance appraisal system has been classified by Locher & Teel (1977).
He found that the three most common performance appraisal methods in general use are:
1. Rating scales (56%)
2. Essay method (25%) and
3. Result oriented or MBO methods (13%).
Certain technique in performance appraisal have been thoroughly investigated and some have
been found to yield better result than others.
Encourage Discussion
Research studies show that employees are likely to feel more satisfied with their appraisal result
if they have the chance to talk freely and discuss their performance. It is also more likely that
such employees will be matter able to meet future performance goals. Employees are also more
likely to feel that the appraisal process is fair if they are given a chance to talk about their
performance. This especially so when they are permitted to challenge and appeal against their
evaluation.

9|Page
Constructive Intention
It is very important that employees recognize that negative appraisal feedback is provided with a
constructive intention to help them overcome present difficulties and to improve their future
performance. Employees will be less anxious about criticism, and more likely to find it useful,
when the believes that the appraiser's intentions are helpful and constructive. In contrast , other
studies ( Baron 1988) have reported that destructive criticism which is vague , ill informed,
unfair or harshly presented - will lead to problems such as anger , resentment , tension and
workplace conflict , as well as increased resistance to improvement , denial of problems, and
poorer performance.
Set Performance Goals
It has been shown in numerous studies that goal-setting is an important element in employee
motivation. Goals can stimulate employee effort, focus attention, increase persistence, and
encourage employees to find new and better ways to work. The useful of goals as a stimulus to
human motivation is one of the best supported theories in management (Locher , 1977) .It is also
quite clear that goals which are specific , difficult and accepted by employees will lead to higher
level of performance than easy, vague goals (such as do your best ) or no goals at all
(Harris1914) .
Appraiser Credibility
It is important that the appraiser (usually the employee's supervisor) be well-informed and
credible. Appraisers should feel comfortable with the techniques of appraisal, and should be
knowledgeable about the employees job and performance (Teel,1977). When these condition
sexist, employees are more likely to view the appraisal process as accurate and fair. They also
express more acceptances of the appraisers feedback and a greater willingness to change.

2.8 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL TECHNIQUES


There are many types of performance appraisal methods. Those are divided in two parts
Traditional Methods
Modern Methods

2.9 RATING SCALES

10 | P a g e
The rating scale method offers a high degree of structure for appraisals. Each employee trait or
characteristic is rated on a bipolar scale that usually has several points ranging from "poor"
to"excellent" (or some similar arrangement). The traits assessed on these scales include
employee attributes such as cooperation, communications ability, initiative, punctuality and
technical (work skills) competence. The nature and scope of the traits selected for inclusion is
limited onlyby the imagination of the scales designer, or by the organizations need to know. The
one major provision in selecting traits that they should be in some way relevant to the appraisers
job.The traits selected by some organizations have been unwise and have resulted in legal action
onthe ground of discrimination (Torre, 1996).

2.10 ADVANTAGES
The greatest advantage of rating scales is that they are structured and standardized. This allows
ratings to be easily compared and contrasted - even for entire workforces.
Each employee is subjected to the same basic appraisal process and rating criteria, with the same
range of responses. This encourages equality in treatment for all appraise and imposes standard
measures of performance across all parts of the organization (David, 1993). Rating scale methods
are easy to use and understand. The concept of the rating scale makes obvious sense; both
appraiser and appraise have an intuitive appreciation for the simple and efficient logic of the
bipolar scale. This result is wide spread acceptance and popularity for this approach.

2.11 DISADVANTAGES
Trait Relevance
Are the selected rating-scale trait clearly relevant to the jobs of all appraises? It is inevitable that
with a standardized and fixed system of appraisal that certain traits will have a greater
relevancein some jobs than in others. For example, the trait "initiative" might not be very
important in ajob that is tightly defined and rigidly structured. In such cases, a low appraisal
rating for initiative may not mean that an employee lacks initiative. Rather, it may reflect that
fact that an employee has few opportunities to use and display that particular traits ( Mckellin,
1993) . This relevance of rating scales is therefore said to be context sensitive. Job and work
place circumstances must be taken into account.
Systemic Disadvantage

11 | P a g e
Rating scales, and the traits they purport to measure, generally attempt to encapsulate all the
relevant indicators of employee performance. There is an assumption that all the true and best
indicators of performance are included, and all false and irrelevant indicators are excluded
(Torre, 1996). This is an assumption very difficult to prove in practice. It is possible that an
employees performance may depend on factors that have not been included in the selected traits.
Such employees may end up with rating that do not truly or fairly reflect their effort or value
tothe organization. Employees in this class are systemically disadvantaged by the rating scale
method.
Perceptual Errors
This includes various well-known problems of selective perception (such as the horns and halos
effect) as well as problems of perceived meaning. Selective perception is the human tendency to
make private and highly subjective assessments of what a person is "really like and then seek
evidence to support that view (while ignoring or down playing evidence that might contradict it).
This is a common and normal psychological phenomenon (Torre, 1996). All human beings are
affected by it. In other words, we see in others what we want to see in them. An example is the
supervisor who believes that an employee is inherently good (halo effect) and so ignores
evidence that might suggest otherwise.
Instead of correcting the slackening employee, the supervisor covers for them and may even
offer excuses for their declining performance. On the other hand, a supervisor may have formed
the impression that an employee is bad (horns effect).
The supervisor becomes unreasonably harsh in their assessment of the employee, and always
ready to criticize and undermine those (Sanches, 1996). The horns and halo effect is rarely seenin
its extreme and obvious forms. But in its more subtle manifestation, it can be a significant threat
to the effectiveness and credibility of performance appraisal.
Perceived Meaning
Problems of perceived meaning occur when appraisers do not share the same opinion about the
meaning of the selected traits and the language used on the rating scales. For example, to one
appraiser, an employee may demonstrate the trait of initiative by reporting work problems to a
supervisor. To another appraiser, this might suggest an excessive dependence on supervisory
assistance - and thus a lack of initiative. As well, the language and terms used to construct a
scale as Performance exceeds expectations or below average Skill may mean different
things to different appraisers (De La Torre, 1996).
Rating Errors
The problem here is not so much errors in perception as errors in appraiser judgment and motive.
Unlike perceptual errors, these errors may be (at times deliberate. The most common rating
erroris central tendency. Busy appraisers, or those wary of confrontations and repercussions, may
betempted to dole out too many passive, middle-of-the-road ratings (e.g., "satisfactory"
or"adequate"), regardless of the actual performance of a subordinate. Thus the spread of ratings

12 | P a g e
tends to clump excessively around the middle of the scale (Sanches, 1996). This problem is
worsened in organizations where the appraisers do not feel confident with the task of appraisal.

2.12 ESSAY METHOD


In the essay method approach, the appraiser prepares a written statement about the employee
being appraised. The statement usually concentrates on describing specific strengths and
weakness in job performance. It also suggests courses of action to remedy the identified problem
areas (Harry, 2007).The statement may be written and edited by the appraiser alone or it can be
composed in collaboration with the appraise.

2.13 RESULTS METHOD MANAGEMENT BY


OBJECTIVES (MBO)
It aims to increase organizational performance by aligning goals and subordinate objectives
throughout the organization. Ideally, employees get strong input to identify their objectives,
timelines for completion, etc. MBO includes ongoing tracking and feedback in the process to
reach objectives. Management by Objectives (MBO) was first outlined by Peter Drucker in 1954
in his book 'The Practice of Management'. In the 90s, Peter Drucker himself decreased the
significance of this organization management method, when he said: Its just another tool. Itis
not the great cure for management in efficiency Management by objectives work if you know the
objectives, 90% of the time you dont.

2.14 CORE CONCEPTS


According to Drucker managers should "avoid the activity trap", get so involved in their day
today activities that they forget their main purpose or objective? Instead of just a few top
management all managers should Participate in the strategic planning process, in order to
improve the implement ability of the plan and implement a range of performance systems,
designed to help the organization stay on the right track.

13 | P a g e
2.15 MAIN PRINCIPLE

The principle behind Management by Objectives (MBO) is to make sure that everybody within
the organization has a clear understanding of the aims, or objectives, of that organization, as well
as awareness of their own roles and responsibilities in achieving those aims. The complete MBO
system is to get managers and empowered employee acting to implement and achieve their plans.

2.16 BENEFITS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS


Performance appraisals can be used to:
Make employment decisions such as determining pay and promotions.
Identify professional development needs.
Identify factors in the work environment that help or hinder performance effectiveness.

2.17 MOTIVATION AND SATISFACTION


Performance appraisal can have a profound effect on levels of employee motivation and
satisfaction - for better as well as for worse. Performance appraisal provides employees with
recognition for their work efforts. The power of social recognition as an incentive has been long
noted. In fact, there is evidence that human beings will even prefer negative recognition in
preference to no recognition at all.
If nothing else, the existence of an appraisal program indicates to an employee that the
organization is genuinely interested in their individual performance and development (Dewakar,
2008). This alone can have a positive influence on the individual's sense of worth, commitment
and belonging.
The strength and prevalence of this natural human desire for individual recognition should not be
over looked. Absenteeism and turnover rates in some organizations might be greatly reduced if
more attention were paid to it. Regular performance appraisal, at least, is a good start.

2.18 EMPLOYEE EVALUATION


14 | P a g e
Though often understated or even denied, evaluation is a legitimate and major objective of
performance appraisal. But the need to evaluate (i.e., to judge) is also an ongoing source
oftension, since evaluation and development priorities appear to frequently clash. Yet at its most
basic level, performance appraisal is the process of examining and evaluating the performance
often individual (Goel, 2008). Though organizations have a clear right - some would say a duty
to conduct such evaluations of performance, many still recoil from the idea. To them the explicit
process of judgment can be dehumanizing and demoralizing and a source of anxiety and
distressto employees.It is been said by some that appraisal cannot serve the needs of evaluation
and development atthe same time; it must be one or the other. But there may be an acceptable
middle ground, where the need to evaluate employees objectively, and the need to encourage and
develop them, can be balanced.

3.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF IBBL
The history of Islamic Banking could be dividing in two parts. First: When it still remained an
idea, second: When it become a reality by private initiative in some countries and by law in
others. There has always been a desire to establish financial institutions to operate as per the tents
of Islamic Shariah. The first attempt in this regard was made in Pakistan during 1950s as a pilot
scheme, but unfortunately it didnt succeed. It was followed by a more successful venture in the
form of a local Bank in Egypt (Myt Gant Savings Bank, July, 1963). In 1969 Islamic Bank was
got up Malaysia through passing an Act in parliament which is being conducted successfully
today. In 1970, King Faisal, The Government of K.S.A, called a meeting to moderate the
banking of Muslim countries in accordance with the loss of Islamic Shariah. In the light of this
purpose, on 18th December 1973 the decision of setting up an international Islamic Bank was
taken up in the finance ministry of O.I.C, which starts its work on 20th October 1975 in Jeddah.
In 1977, Faisal Islamic bank in Sudan, Kuwait Finance Bank House in Kuwait, Faisal Islamic
bank in Egypt and Jordan Islamic Bank in 1978 was founded. In 1977, International Association
of Islamic bank was founded to create equality among the Islamic Banks of different countries.
Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited was incorporated on 13.03.1983 as a public Company with
Limited liability under the companies Act, 1913. The Bank obtained permission to commence
business from 27.03.1983. Islamic Bank Ltd. Is the first interest free Bank in South-East Asia.
The establishment of this Bank has ushered a new era in Bangladesh, the second largest Muslim
country in the world. The bank is committed to help the people in Halal earnings and Halal
investment. All of its activities are run as per Islamic Shariah. The Islamic Development Bank,
some foreign financial institutions of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirate and
Jordan also came forward to establish this bank.
The total number of branches of the bank as on 31st December 1988 stood at 27. The Bank has
taken up an optimality expansion program to open a large number of branches during the year
1989 in urban and rural areas and it is expected that with the implementation of the expansion
program almost all important commercial places will come under the operational activities of the
Bank.

interfere the activities of the bank. There is also a clear demarcation of duties and
responsibilities between the Board and management. While the Board is responsible for
formulating the board policy framework within which the bank is operating, the management is
accountable for the execution of the policies and attainment of the banks objectives. The Board
exercises independent oversight on the affairs of management.

4.4 THE RESEARCH INSTRUMENT


The researcher designs a self-administered questionnaire for the data gathering process to get
qualitative and quantitative data. The primary aim of the questionnaire is to determine the
strategy. This research will use a mixture of closed questions and more open comments in the
questionnaire. A closed question is one that has pre-coded answers. The simplest is the
dichotomous question to which the respondent must answer yes or no. Through closed questions,
the researcher will be able to limit responses that are within the scope of this study. Thus, the set
of questionnaire was structured using the Liker format with a five-point responsescale. A Liker
Scale is a rating scale that requires the subject to indicate his or her degree of agreement or
disagreement to a statement. In this type of questionnaire, the respondents were given five
response choices. These options served as the quantification of the participants agreement or

4.6 DATA ANALYSIS


The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill that helps you make better decisions. Microsoft
Excel is one of the top tools for data analysis and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most
popular analytic tool I have used for data analysis by MS word and MS Excel. This software
helps me to find out the right data and result.

6.1 RECOMMENDATIONS
Though Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. (IBBL) is performing well but it has some
crucial areas to improve which are prescribed below:

It is a modern banking era. Each and every commercial bank is properly utilizing technological
innovations. So, IBBL needs to utilize these modern technologies to keep pace with the modern
time. IBBL needs to recruit skilled human resources which can turn the bank ahead. The bank
should offer facilities such as Credit card, Visa card. IBBLs investment processing should
become easier than other conventional banks. IBBL should make its investment schemes more
attractive for availing high-return projects.

Following suggestions are prepared for IBBL:


Appraising method should be unbiased and real performer should be appreciated based
on his or her performance evaluation.
Evening banking allowance may be increased.
New performance appraisal such as 360 degree should be introduced.
Training facilities should be given to all level of employees.
Evaluation result should be disclosed to all the employees.
Promotion should be based on performance rather than seniority or other.
The aims and Objectives of performance appraisal need to be well communicated from
top level to bottom level management.
An unbiased and clear appraising method should practice so that only actual performer
could be rewarded.

6.2 CONCLUSIONS
IBBL is trying to develop banking sector through welfare and servicing to the people. Islami
economy and banking are bound together. IBBL has emerged facing the many obstacles yet. This
bank is trying to operate their activities according to Islami Shariah. Islam is a religion for
human welfare as well the social welfare. All the steps of Islam are only for the welfare for
human being.
Interest free banking system is no more a concept. It is now a Reality, a dynamic system,
embodying a set of superior banking mechanism. More than 300 Islamic bank and financial
institutions are operating in different Countries throughout the world with a marked success from
this inception in our country in 1983. IBBL has been operating with real and confidence in
corporation with other conventional banks. Bringing a new concept in such business sector,
which is growing too rapidly in the world, is rally bold step. As a large Islamic commercial bank,
Islamic bank took various steps to create employment and socio-economic development for the
poor through Islamic Shariah as well as to create an overall climate for the introduction of large
scale Islamic banking environment in Bangladesh.
IBBL is trying to develop innovative and technologically advanced products and services that
satisfy their customer needs.
There are many benefits to implementing a regular and systematic performance appraisal system
within an organization. In order to gain the most benefit from performance appraisals it is
recommended that a system is developed in consultation with workers and managers, and clear
links are established between appraisals and valued rewards and outcomes. If resources permit,
information on work performance should be obtained from multiple sources. Performance
appraisals can be a powerful tool for increasing motivation and improving work practice if
conducted in a constructive, open and supportive manner.
To conclude we must say that, Islami bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) has immense potential in
Bangladesh. It can play vital role in bringing revolutionary changes in our life with both material
and moral world and in individual and collective level.
