Barriers to Employee Performance

MUKESH,

I have provided a range of elements that could be considered as barriers to employee performance, whose removal could improve employee performance.

REGARDING,

1. QUESTIONNAIRE.

You can use these elements to structure a simple format tailored to your requirements. Please mention on the questionnaire that the information will be used to develop a report, and no individual's name will be mentioned.

2. METHODS

A. USE THE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE STAFF.

B. FOR THE MANAGERS, USE IT FOR INTERVIEWING, AS THIS WILL GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION ON THEIR MOTIVES.

C. ALSO, SELECT A FEW STAFF FROM ALL DEPARTMENTS AND INTERVIEW THEM TO UNDERSTAND THEIR FEELINGS, WHICH MAY NOT BE REVEALED BY THE QUESTIONNAIRE.

The organizational issues focus on three critical areas: development, supervision, and work environment.

- Lack of knowledge about organizational goals.
- Lack of knowledge about organizational objectives.
- Lack of knowledge about organizational strategies.
- Lack of change management - business changes.
- Lack of change management - business processes.
- Lack of change management - business systems.
