HISTORY OF H.A.L.

st
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited was formed on 1 October 1964 by
the merger of the Hindustan Aircraft Limited and Aeronautics India Limited.
Hindustan Aeronautics was originally established as Hindustan
Aircraft Limited at Bangalore in Karnataka by the Late Shri Walchand
Hirachand in December 1940, in association with the Govt. of Mysore, as a
Private Limited Company. In June 1942 Govt. of India purchased the interest of
this company and took over the management.
The Harloe trainer and Curtiss Hawk Fighter Aircraft were the first
aircrats produced by Hindustan Aircraft Ltd. And they were successfully test
nd
flown III 1942. However because of the 2 world war the aircraft manufacturing
programme was abandoned in favour of repair & overhaul of aircraft. Over 1000
aircraft such as Fortress, Liberator, Mitchell Bombers, Dakota and Commando
Transport Aircraft and Piston Engineers fitted to these aircraft were overhauled
by Hindustan Aircraft Ltd. During the war years After the war the company
undertook reconditioning and conversion of war Surplus-Dakota aircraft for use
by Airforce/Civil operators and reconditioning of Tiger moth Trainees. Hawker
Tempest fighters and Liberation Bombers for Indian Air Force.
In 1948, with the impetus given by the Prime Minister of India, Shri
Jawaharlal Nehru, the policy for manufacture as well as design and development
of aircraft was revived by the Govt. of India.
A license agreement was entered for the manufacture of the Percival Prentice
Trainer Aircraft and a project was sanctioned for design and development of the
HT-2 aircraft, (an elementary piston engine trainer).The HT-2 aircraft was
successfully developed and was typed certified in January 1953.These
programmes were followed during the 50’s by a series of licensed
projects(Vampire and Gnat)as well as design and development projects (Marut

and Kiran). This laying as base for the rapid development of our aircraft industry.
Jet engine factory was set up in Bangalore in 1960 for manufacturing Orphus
engine used on Marut and Gnat aircraft.
An aircraft manufacturing deptt. (AMD) was established at Kanpur
in U.P. in January 1960 as an airforce unit for manufacturing of Hawker Sidley
748 twin turbo prop transport aircraft AMD was subsequently with the
Aeronautics India Limited.

AERONAUTICS INDIA LIMITED


The Govt. of India entered into a collaboration agreement Soviet
Union for the manufacture of MIG-12 FL aircraft including its engine and
avionics. Aeronautics India Limited was formed to undertake the manufacture of
MIG-21 aircraft and factories were set up at Nasik in Maharashtra for
manufacture of the airframe. Koraput in Orissa for the Aero-Engine and at
Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh for the avionics for the MIG aircraft,
Hindustan Aircraft Limited and Aeronautics India Limited were
merged in October 1964 for the formation of the present Hindustan Aeronautics
Limited.

HAL LUCKNOW
The Govt. of India decided to set up facilities for manufacture of
aircraft system and accessories of Lucknow. The foundation stone of Lucknow
division was laid down by our Late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi on 8 th
th
January, 1972 and inaugurated by her on 17 November, 1973.
The division was set up with the objective of supplying six types of system
equipment of Kiran and Marut aircraft. The division has diversified its product
range subsequently and presently manufactures over 500 products for all type of
aircraft manufactured at HAL. The division has also built up design and
developed its capability and industry developed electrical, hydraulic and other
items which are manufactured for use in aircraft as well as for fighting vehicles.

THE CONCEPT

In the present - day society human needs arc largely


satisfied through the economic activities of organized groups and associations.
Because of biological and other limitations, no individual or group can afford to
be self sufficient and yet attain a high a high level of prosperity. It is, therefore, in
their own interest that men should join together and accomplish goals through co-
operation. However, to be effective with minimum of adverse consequences, it is

24 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

essential that group efforts should be properly organized, directed and co-
ordination, i.e, here is need for management.
Management is the function of getting things done
through people and directing the efforts of individuals towards a common
objective. It is a process by which responsible people in an organization get
things done through the efforts of other people in grouped activities. To make an
organization more effective it is essential that the employees put in their best
efforts. This requires evaluation of their performance.
To evaluate is to assess the worth or value. In social life,
we generally evaluate or appraise the behavior of others in relation to our own
needs or goals. Appraisals are the judgments of the characteristics, traits and
performance of other. On the basis of these judgments, we assess the worth or
value of others, and identify what is good and bad. In social life we select a
tailor, doctor, architect, or hair dresser through our evaluation of their worth. In
industry, performance Appraisal is a systematic evaluation of personnel by
supervisors or others familiar with their performance because employers are
interested in knowing about employee performance.
An appraisal of the employee is undoubtedly necessary
at the time of his employment. However, an appraisal on a continuing basis is
also very desirable and useful. Actually, evaluation is constantly being done
although at an unconscious level. Employees evaluate superiors, follow
colleagues and subordinates. What is needed to generate proper control is a
formal procedure for evaluating personnel within the organization. Such
appraisals are at times described as ratings. Here one ind ividual, after comparison
with another is ranked or rated as excellent, normal or average. Such personnel or
merit or efficiency ratings are generally used for ascertaining an employee's
eligibility for promotion, The personnel department, where it exit, can help
materially in fixing the qualities and characteristics to be rated, in determining
the person who should make such appraisal as well as prescribing the appropriate
procedure.

SIGNIFICANCE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

The effectiveness of staffing function is ascertained by evaluating the


performance of employees in terms of job requirements. Performance Appraisal
helps the organization in better decision making & planning of manpower in
order to make ele ctive and judious use of resources. It is useful to make number
of decisions on personnel management. It provides an opportunity for a
systematic review of the employee's performance and an opportunity for formal
counseling and guidance, as part of the process of development of the individual
increasing his efficiency thereby. Performance Appraisal meets the psychological
needs in each of us to know how well or otherwise, we are performing our job .It
provides a fair and systematic criticism for salary increases, promotion, transfer
or termination. It also assesses training needs and bring about individual and
group development. Performance Appraisal develops the Human Relations and
so is a .strong tool in Resource Development.

COMPILATION METHODOLOGY

The approach and methodology that was followed in compilation of


this project report on Performance Appraisal System in HAL are described as
follows:

26 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

Selection Of Topic-
Management is the process of getting things done by the
people and through the people. Amongst all the resources available within the
organization, Human Resource is considered as most important and valuable.
Organization aims at optimization of output by optimum use of its resources. the
soul of the organization i.e. Human Resource can give their best if they me
properly groomed and well-directed towards their goal. Their overall
development is necessary . The field where the employee lacks and needs
development can be decided only when their performance is analysed or
appraised. So, Performance Appraisal plays a vital role in the effective
functioning of any organization and that's why I went for this topic.

Selection Of Organization-
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, through design, development and
production of contemporary aircraft, aeroengines and avionics is committed to
the defence and civilian needs of the country. HAL is one of the few corporate
giants in the world and the only one in Asia , whose capabilities.
Extend across the entire range of activities from product conception to after sales
support of aircraft technology. HAL, Lucknow follows the modern method of
Performance Appraisal i.e. Management of Objective and these all factors led me
towards joining this organization as a trainee and an opportunity to conduct a
research on the PAS in HAL.

Purpose Of Study:

• In pursuant of Post Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Development


course in University of Lucknow , there is a mandatory requirement of on the
job training for at least one month. I got an opportunity to do my project in

27 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Accessories Division .Lucknow. I was given


a project to study on existing Performance Appraisal System followed at
HAL and recommend additional measures if any for further improvement.

• The purpose of my study on Performance Appraisal System is to understand


as how these are being implemented in HAL. The aim is to analyse the
adequacy and suitability of the measures that are followed.

• The purpose of study s also to analyse the Performance Appraisal System is


detail by interacting with the management, supervisors and workers and
seeing on ground that how far the various measures are implemented and
bring out the drawbacks if any and recommend/suggest measures for
betterment of the system. While carrying out the analysis due care to be
taken to ensure that the analysis is unbiased and without any prejudice to any
party.

Research Methodology and Collection Of Data

Study was carried out through subjective and objective


observation, interaction with employees, questionnaires and evaluation of the

28 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

results so obtained. In the project report much attention has been paid on
subjective study because the topic deals with the psycho-social behaviour of
workers.
The research work was carried out by visiting the various sections
of the P & A department of HAL:
• Recruitment section
• HRD section
• Establishment section
• Industrial Relations & Welfare
• Legal section
• General Administration
• Rajbhasha

Various techniques used in this survey are as under:

1. Observation: Actions speak greater than words. So, close,


systematic and conscious observation was carried out to detect their
favourable and unfavourable attitudes. Close observation of employees was
carried out by sitting with them at their work places such as office and
workshop and keenly observing them doing their work.

2. Stydying and Analyzina Service Records: The service


records like output, quality, discipline, discharge & dismissals, accidents,
absenteeism, Grievances, records of individual and departments were

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL THEORY

30 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

Appraisals are judgement of the characteristics, traits and performance


of others. On the basis of these judgements, we assess the worth or value of
others, and identity what is good and bad. In social life we select a tailor, doctor,
architect or hairdresser through our evaluation of their worth.
Formal appraisal of an individual's performance began in the Wei
dynasty (A.D.221-265) in China, where an Imperial Rater appraised the
performance of members of the official family. In 1983, the New York City Civil
Service in the USA introduced a formal appraisal programme shortly before
World War I.

MEANING OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:

In industry, performance appraisal is a systematic evaluation of


personnel by s upervisors or others familiar with their performance because
employer lore interested in knowing about employee performance. Employees
also wish to know their position in the organization. Appraisals are essential for
making many administrative decisions; selection, training, promotion, transfer,
wages and salary administration, etc. Besides, they aid personnel research.
Perf ormance Appraisal thus is a systematic and objective way of judging the
relative worth or ability of an employee in perform ing his task, Performance
appraisal helps to identify those who are performing their assigned tasks well
and those who are not and the reasons for such performance.
Appraising the performance of individuals and organizations is an
inherent aspect of managing. It is impossible to make intelligent managerial
decisions about individuals without measuring their performance in some
manner. Hence, formal Performance appraisal is a system set up by the
organization to regularly and systematically evaluate employees performance.
The purpose of Performance appraisal is to determinme what aspects of
performance need to be evaluated. A distinction has to between performance on
the job and potential for upward mobility. Sometimes, only the potential, i.e. the
ability of the individual and his capacity for development is evaluated. However,

31 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

in most cases raters are asked to assess both areas.

It is easier for raters to appraise performance than determine potential


for the latter requires a great deal of knowledge and skill. The job environment
may not be conducive for an employee to show his full ability; or he may be
restrained from doing so. Attention has to be paid to these aspects before the
potential for growth and advancement of an employee is evaluated.

OBJECTIVES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL


The main objectives of Performance appraisal system are as follows:
1. To integrate the company's and individual goals through a process of
performance assessment linked to achievement of organization objectives.
2. To increase awareness of tasks and targets and the responsibility of the
employees.
3. To identify the developmental actions to be taken to enhance the
performance of employees.
4. To maintain individual and group development by informing the employee
of his performance standard.
5. To determine increments and provide a reliable index for promotions and
transfers to positions of greater responsibility.
6. To identify those em ployees for whom additional training IS necessary.
7. To identify those subordinates who deserves higher pay / emoluments.
8. To unable an organization to maintain an inventory of the number and
quality of all managers and to identify and meet their training needs and
aspirations.
9. To suggest ways if improving the employees performance when he is not
found to be up to the mark during the review period.
10. Lastly, to ensure an objective assessment of potential and performance.

UTILITY OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

32 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

Performance appraisal is an important tool of personnel management.


It is a judgement of the characteristic, traits and performance of employees
and has a wide range of utility.

(a) Identifying employees for salary increases, promotion, transfer and lay-off
or termination of services.

(b) Determining training needs for further improvement in performance.

(c) Motivating employees by indicating their performance levels.

(d) Establishing a basis for research and reference for personnel decisions in
future.

(e) It unifies the appraisal procedure so that all employees rated in the same
manner.

(f) It provides information in the form of records about ratings which may be
produced as evidence.

(g) A periodic and accurate appraisal constrains a supervisor to be alert and


competent in his work.

PROBLEM OF CRITERION

Differentiating between individuals is easy provided one knows what


aspects to take into account. Although the identification of relevant measures of
performance or criterion variables has been thoroughly researched. A very broad
definition of criterion is “that which is to be predicted”. This definition refers to
the evaluative standards which measure a person’s performance, attitudes, etc.
Identifying performance measures is easy if the job is clearly defined but difficult
if it is broad. At the lower levels of organization, there are specific jobs, and
certain tangible and objective standards of performance can be identified. Further
up in the hierarchy, jobs become more complex and dear-cut, tangible standards
of performance are difficult to be specified.
Irrespective of the level, by and large, most companies use eleven
performance measures: quantity of work, quality of' work, waste and breakage,
money earned, job knowledge, job tenure, absenteeism, rate of advancement,
self-judgement, judgement by peers and judgement by supervisors. These
measures can be classified into three broad categories:-

Personal Data
This includes personal history, number of grievances, number of
times one has been absent, accidents, breakages, etc., all of which are often use to
differentiate between good and bad performers. Most studies have worked
backwards, i.e. after identifying good and bad performers they studied what
personal variables made them “good” or “bad” performers. However, there is
little evidence to suggest that personal data can predict job performance. A
person can be a good worker and drink or gamble at the same time.
In view of the conflicting evidence, it is extremely risky to use
personal data as an indicator of performance. Infact, several studies suggest that
the relationship between personal data measures and production measures is
often very low. Thus, if these factors are used to define job success they should
be considered relevant criteria in their own right, rather than simple substitutes

36 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

for more direct measures of job productivity.


Production Data
Rate and quality of work, and money earned, and direct measures of
performance. These can range from units produced per hour to money earned or
lost. Production data are useful for evaluating the performance of people only in
some jobs and at some levels. Staff jobs vis-a -vis line jobs, higher- level jobs vis-
a-vis lower-level ones, and performance in service organization vis-a-vis
production or engineering organization are difficult to evaluate if production is
the only thing to be considered.
Correlations on the reliability of production data have been found to
range from 0.05 to 0.85 with the magnitude influenced by the time periods
between measures. Hence, a one-shot sample of production data can be very
misleading. To get a correct picture of production and output, several samples
over a number of time periods should be taken.

Judgmental Data
These include self-judgement judgement by peers and supervisors,
and sometimes knowledge of the job. It is one of the most, commonly-used
indicators of performance, and probably the most loaded, with errors and
problems. Most of the problems arise because it is based on subjective
assessment either by the individual or by the another individual for him. It is
almost impossible to objectify subjective judgements, The difficulty of using this
indicator can be gauged merely by giving two persons an answer to an essay test,
and examining the reasons for their evaluations, the evaluations will of course
vary.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL METHODS

A number of performance appraisal methods are available. In fact, each


organization has its own. However, a close analysis of their appraisal forms
reveals that they represent variations of one or other of the following methods of
performance appraisal.

TRAITS METHODS:

 Confidential Report
This is the traditional way of appraising employee performance. A
confidential report by the immediate supervisor is still is a major determinant of
the subordinate’s promotion or transfer. The supervisor writes about paragraphon
his subordinate's strengths, weaknesses, intelligent t attitude to work t attendance
t conduct and character, work efficiency, etc. The format and pattern of the report
varies with each supervisor.

 Rating Scales
These methods assess the degree of certain qualities required for the
job such as industrious, reliability and dependability. The degree is usually
measured on a scale which can vary from 3 point (good, average & poor) to
several points. The anchor points in most cases are labeled excellent-poor, high-
low or never-always, depending on the format.
The general notion that ratings are objective must be regarded with
extreme caution. There is no objective procedure. These ratings need to be
validated against other methods of evaluation. Hunan behaviour is complex, and
traits such as job knowledge, experience, ability to get things done, etc., are

38 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

hardly independent of each other .Besides, each may be a composite of simpler


traits. The validity of the rating also depends on the rater's characteristics.

 Ranking System
One of the disadvantages of the rating system is that it perm its similar
totals scores fur two or more individuals the raking system obviates’ this
problem. The rater simply ranks employees in order or merit, which determines
the employee's rating. Ranking van be determined either by looking at the total
individual and then ranking him in relation to others; or by first identifying
several relevant traits I ranking employees separately on each of these traits I and
then cumulating these trait-rankings to arrive at the final employee-rankings.

 Paired - Comparison
This method is much simpler, requiring the rater to judge which of
two workers is superior, instead of having to arrange members of a large group
of workers in order of excellence. It makes the rater compare one employee
systematically with others individually. Usually only one trait, the overall ability
to perform the job, is considered. The supervisor is provided with a bunch of
slips each containing a pair of names. The rater puts a tick mark against the
individual whom he considers the better of the two, and the final ranking is
determined by the number of times that individuals is judged better than the
others.

 Forced - Choice
The forced-choice rating form contains a series of groups of
statements, and the rater checks how effectively the statement describes each
individual begin evaluated. Of course, each statement carries a weight or serve
which is not indicated to the rater. This basic method has a number of variations.
Sometimes all the statements may be either favourable or unfavourable. In
another variation, from four statements -two positive and two negative -the rater

39 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

picks the most appropriate and the most unappropriate, for the person being
rated .Sometimes, instead of making statements, a simple listing or traits is given.

 Critical Incident
This technique involves three steps. A test of noteworthy (good or
bad) on-the-job behaviour, usually of specific instances, is first prepared. A group
of experts then assigns scale value to them, depending upon the degree of
desirability tor the job. The third step is constructing a check list that includes
incidents which define “good” and “bad" workers. Subsequently, supervisors use
these list for evaluating the worker.
 Cost Accounting
This menthol evaluates performance from the monetary returns the
employee yields to his organization. A relationship is established between the
cost involved ill keeping the person, and the benefit the organization derives from
hint.
 Forced Distribution
In this method the rater is forced to distribute his subordinates into
performance categories such as outstanding, good, poor, etc. In other words
everyone cannot be given average or good ratings. Hence e some percentage of
the subordinates are rated better than the others.
The rater distributes his subordinates on scale location which can be
top 10 percent to bottom 10 percent, or any variation of the percentages with the
values in between. The most-often used distribution is 10,20,40,20,10, percent,
which equates with a normal distribution. This method is useful for rating a large
number of employee.

MODERN METHODS:

 Management by objectives
MBO calls on the subordinate to set his short-term performance

40 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

goals in consultation with his superiot. Goals explicitly state the actions which
the employ will follow. Instead of being appraised in a traditional way by his
superior, the subordinate appraises his own performance by evaluating it vis-a-
vis the goals: Before establishing a goal, the individual studies his job, assess his
potentialities and formulates some specific plans to reach the goal. The
supervisor is not the evaluator, but directs the goal-setting processes to ensure
that it matches the objectives of the organization.
MBO differs significantly from the traditional approach, for it shifts
the emphasis from “appraisal” to “analysis”. The .subordinate is no longer
examined by his superior for his weaknesses, but examines himself to ascertain
his strength and potential.

• Managerial Appraisal
This approach to Performance Appraisal involves evaluation of
managers in terms of the basic functions and tasks of management. The logic of
such appraisal ought to be against standards which measure the quality of a
manager, as a manager. With a given classification of the function a series of
questions are asked to appraise a manager's performance in each area.

Appraisal interviews
Many organization require their supervisor, managers, and other
raters to have a periodic discussions with employees about their performance, and
particularly to communicate any negative evaluation so that the employee gets a
chance to “explain”. This takes care of the process of natural justice. Norman
Maier has described three appraisal interviews each with a specific and slightly
different objective:

 To Tell And Sell Method

 To Tell And Listen Method

 The Problem-Solving Approach

PROBLEMS IN PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

None of the methods of performance is absolutely valid or reliable.


Each has its own strength and weaknesses. Some of the common problems are:

• Halo effect

• Error of Central Tendency

• Opportunity bias

• Group characteristics bias

• Knowledge of predictor bias

• Bias In ratings

THE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM


AT HAL

The existing performance appraisal system as well as the format in


respect of officers have been reviewed. It has been decided to introduce a revised
performance appraisal system effective from' the assessment year 2000-01). As
per the reviser system , officers in Grade 1 to X have been categorized into 5
levels as follows:

LEVEL GRADE

Level-I I & II

Level-II III & IV

Level-III V & VI

Level-IV VII & VIII

Level-V IX & X

Some of the salient features of the revised performance appraisal


system are as under :

1. Two tier system (IA & RA)


2. Quarterly task setting and evaluation on a quarterly basis;
3. Traits based on the responsibilities associated with each levels;

1. There will be five formats, one for each level of officers as indicated below:

44 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

2. FILLING UP OF THE FORMATS:

2.1 The format comprises of nine major parts as under:

PART-H Illustrative list of area for training GM/MB/FD/CH
PART-I Check list

3. QUATERLY TASKS & ACHIEVEMENTS:

3(a) The performance Appraisal system envisages setting up quarterly between the Appraisee
and IA. The set tasks would be recorded on the quaterly task setting and assessment sheets. At the
time of setting the tasks, the IA may consult the RA also.
3(b) Quarters for the purpose of PARs would be as follows:

---
Quarter Period
I 1st April to 30 th June
II 1st July to 30 th September
III 1st October to 31 st December
IV 1st January to 31 st March
--

3( c) Task setting for each quarter would be done, jointly by the Appraisee and
th
the IA, by the 7 of the month of each quarter. The maximum of 100 would be

45 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

distributed among all the tasks, based on their relative weightage/importance


separate task setting and assessment sheets are to be used for each quarter and
the same would be signed by both the appraisee and the IA. The task setting
sheets would be prepared in duplicate and one copy will be with the appraisee
and the other with the IA.
3(d) The tasks set should, as far as possible be quantitative or measurable
either in terms of quantity or time limits.
th
3(e) The IA would evaluate the performance of the appraisee, by 7 of the first
month of the subsequent quarter ,after joint discussion with the appraisee, against
the set tasks and will award marks for each tasks, keeping in view the maximum
marks decided for each tasks at the beginning of the quarter.
3(f) Completed task setting and assessment sheet of each quarter would be
retained by the IA and the same would be attached by him with the
Annual/Probationary PAR at the end of the assessment Year/Period.

4. SELF APPRAISAL:

4(a) All Officers should assess themselves in Part B(B.1, B.2 & B.3) of the
appraisal format, Self -appraisal is aimed at providing Officers an opportunity
to assess their performance against mutually agreed tasks. Self ap praisal should
be brief and to the point.
4(b) Comments on the self-appraisal by the IA & RA are to be made in the space
provided (parts B.4 & B.5). Self-appraisal by Officers should also be taken into
account by the IA 7 RA, while making the assessment in Part-C of the format.

46 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

5. LEVEL OF INITIATING/REVIEWING AUTHORITIES:


5(a) Level of the IA & IIA for officers in various grades would be as
follows:

Grade of the Initiating Authority Reviewing Authority


appraisee
I/II Minimum grade III or Minimum grade V or
above above
III/IV Minimum grade V or Minimum grade VI or
above above
V/VI Minimum grade VII Minimum grade VIII
or above or above
VII/VIII Minimum grade IX or Minimum grade X or
above above
IX/X MD/FD CH

Note:- I) While the levels of the IA & RA ,in general, should be as above, if
the Appraisee is reporting to officers at lower levels, the IA & RA can be in
lower grades also.
II) In the case of officers who are directly reporting to senior
Executives in Grade
VII / VIII / IX / MD / FD / CH and where there are no intermediate Officers,
the concerned senior executive will be the IA / RA except in cases which have
been specifically mentioned in the circular.

6. ASSESSMENT OF TRAITS:
6(a) Skills required to be possessed by an officer vary as he moves from one
level to the next. Keeping this aspect in view, separate set of traits against
which Officers are to be assessed have been devised assessment of the traits
have to be made in part C.1 of the format, indicating marks scored for each
traits out of the maximum marks alloted for each traits both by the IA & RA.
6(b) For he first trait (performance), marks awarded by the IA will be the
equivalent % of the average marks for the year awarded by him in part A.

47 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

For example, if the average marks awarded by the IA in part -A for a year is
70 out of 100, marks against ‘Performance’ in Part-C.1 for an Officer in Grade
I/II will be 56 (i.e. 80% of 70). In case the marks ‘awarded by the IA, the RA will
indicate justification for just variation in Part-C.1.1 of the format, For the
remaining Traits, the IA & RA have to award marks individually out of the
maximum marks indicated against each trait.

6(c ) To remove ambiguity C.1 of the format.

7. SCALE OF GRADATION:
The scale of gradation would be as under:
Total Marks 100-90 89-80 79-50 Below 50
Performance Exceptional Above Average Below
Rating Average Averge

Overall performance rating to the PRB will be based on the above scale of
Gradation.

8. PEN PICTURE (QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT):

8(a) Both IA & RA have to give a brief description of the Appraisee at


Part-D of the format, as pen picture.
8( b) The Pen Picture should be written carefully highlighting all aspects of the
personality of the appraisee. By reading the Pen Picture, one should be in a
position to get a clear picture of the appraisee, his effectiveness and his personal
qualities. The IA & Ra should use this part of the appraisal report to narrate about
the traits of the appraisee that are not covered under specific traits under Part C.1.

9. GENERAL ASSESSMENT & MANAGEMENT REVIEW


CATEGORIZATION:

48 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

9(a) Both the IA & RA have to indicate the strengths and areas requiring
improvements in respect of the appraisee, with reference to his performance, at
Part-E of the format. This will enable the PRB to get a balanced picture about the
appraisee and would also facilitate positive HRD intervention.

9.(b) Both the IA & RA have to indicate the “Management Review


Categorization” of the appraisee, which forms the potential assessment area of
the performance appraisal system, as follows:

Cat-A: An officer who has degree of potential for development.


Cat-B: An officer has potential for limited advancement.
Cat-C: An officer who has no potential advancement.

9(c) While indicating the Management Review Categorization, the IA & RA


should take into account the educational qualification of the appraisee, variety
and richness of experience, job knowledge, effectiveness, personal qualities and
his performance on various assignments.

9.(d) The assessment should also be made for officers on probation.

10. TRAINING / DEVELOPMENT NEEDS:


Both the IA & IIA should indicate specific areas to which the appraisee
should be job I rotated as well as training to be given to prepare him for further
advancements. An illustrative list of areas for training and development is at Part-
H of the PAR format.

11. PERFORMANCE REVIEW BOARD:

11.(a) Performance R view Board will be constituted at the Divisional /


Complex / Corporate level for determining the Final Marks / Performance rating
of the appraisee, taking into consideration the assessment made by the IA & RA.

49 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

The PRB will consult the IA & RA, wherever necessary, if they are not members
of the PRB.
11 (b) Chairman and member of the PRB would be as indicate below:

11 (d) In respect of Complex Officers, MDs will be the Chairman of the PRB
for Officers in grades I to IV also.
11 (e) In respect of Officers in Grades I to VI Corporate Office, (Personnel)
and GM (P&A) will be the members of the PRB. The senior most Director will
be the Chairman of the PRB.
11 (f) The marks and performance rating awarded by the PRB would be final.

12. REMARKS BY HIGHER AUTHORITIES:

12 (a) GMs/MDs/FDs/CH would indicate their general remarks in Part-G of the


format.

50 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

13. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL OF OFFICERS ON PROBATION:

13(a) Two performance Appraisals are to be submitted one at the end of sixth
month and the others at the end of the eleventh month of the probationary period
Officers Formats to be used and system to be followed for filling up the format to
be used and system to be followed for filling up the formats would be the same as
in respect of Annual Reports.

13(b) Probationary Performance Appraisal Reports would not be put up to the


performance Review Board Marks / Performance Rating awarded by the RA
would be final in respect of these reports. These reports would however, be put
up to higher authorities for their remarks at Part-G.
13(c) The RA should ensure that the sixth and eleventh monthly reports are
submitted to the HRD cell within 7 days of the completion of the sixth and
eleventh monthly period.
13(d) The sixth / eleventh monthly performance appraisals would be the basis for
confirmation of Officers appointed / promoted. The report should therefore
indicate the suitability or otherwise of the officer for confirmation by the
competent authority, in the eleventh monthly report.

ASSESSMENT PERIOD:-
The performance appraisal form for all officers are to be prepared for every
st
financial year ending 31 March. The activity chart on the operation of PAS is as

This communication would be signed by the Head of the P&A


department at Corporate Office / Complex Office / Division Office.
14(b) In addition to the above ,oral feedback by the Appraisee, on his
performance, should be an ongoing process. It is necessary to encourage
progress and correct mistakes. The Apparisee should be encouraged and
the areas requiring immediate attention for improving his performance
should be highlighted.

14( c) The IA should informthe Appraisee in writing as and when the


need arises.
14(d) Further to the feedback / communication as at paras 15a to 15c
above, the HRD cell should ensure communication of the areas /traits for

ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEMAT HAL

The objective of the Performance Appraisal System in HAL is to


change behaviour attitude towards job done. In other words it is result
oriented. It has adonted a philosophy that stress goal rather than method. It
provides responsibility and accountability recognize that employee have
needs for achievement and self-fulfillment.
The PAS of HAL staff is purely based on the method of Management
Of Objectives which was propounded by Peter Drucker. HAL has
developed potentially a powerful philosophy of managing and an effective
way of operationalising evaluation process. It seeks to minimize external
control and maximize internal motivation. In HAL Performance Appraisal
format, part B of format provides opportunity to the appraisee for self-
appraisal in which lot of research has been done to enable the reviewe

assiss himself. It enhances their sense of dignity &self-respect.


Analysis of the research is based on the feedback received from the
staff through questionnaire. A total of 14 questions were distributed in the
form of questionnaire which basically concerned the employees (workers).
A set of 5 questions in the forms of self-rating chart was circulated,
especially meant for supervisors. (refer to appx.-I).
Management’s ViewRegarding: The Performance Appraisal Forms
According to the management the Performance Appraisal forms are
basically well-designed, well formulated and caters the need of appraisee
as well as that of appraiser to make the things easy for the appraiser and for
the more accurate and proper assessment of the appraisee, a help -matrix is
provided with the PA forms which gives the detailed description for each
trait for different grades. They believe that the P A forms are slightly
subjective and could be made more objective and brief so as to save time in
filling up the forms.

Management's view Regarding Self-Appraisal

Management regards it as a very healthy source or indirect communication


between juniors and seniors. Through it, the officer communicates to their seniors
who are finally going to assess them that actually they percieve about themselves.

FINDINGS
On the basis of the analysis we can conclude that majority or the

65 A
Project on HAL
Performance Appraisal System

employees are satisfied with the Performance Appraisal System adopted in their
organisation i.e. HAL. Large section of employees has commented that they do
not receive proper feedback, counseling and training to improve upon their
performance. This is in contrast with the supervisor's responses, who are of the
opinion that full attention is paid in each of these fields. Employees feel that the
Performance Appraisal system should be simpler and f1uble.There is no doubt
that in saying that HAL follows the method Management. By Objectives as
employees are aware of their pre determined goals & tasks which they have to
achieve.

CONCLUSION

Performance Appraisal Is a systematic and objective way of judging


the relative worth or ability of an employee in performing his task. Performance
Appraisal helps to Identify those who are performing their assigned tasks well
and those who are not and the reasons for such performance.

In H.A.L. a lot of work has been done in the in the area 0 f
Performance Appraisal system. In the early nineties a drastic change was
introduced in the appraisal system. The present Performance Appraisal system is
methodically devised and meticulously planned. The main objective of the
system is the fulfillment of organizational goal through catering the needs of the
employees.
The essential prerequisite in Performance Appraisal is that executives
and organization have to pay a great deal of attention to the psychological and
human aspect of management. A great deal of understanding and time is
necessary to know people, their motives, behaviour .actions and to learn a right
kind of motivational tools to help them to achieve not only organizational goals

personality is an exciting and constant challenge.
Managers and organizers by the nature of their work, have a great
responsibility to study and learn about the motivational theories, systems and
tools in order to be a discriminating while using the right kind of motivational
