Seeking Real-World Case Studies on Performance Appraisal Effectiveness and Improvements

I'm doing research on "performance appraisal effectiveness" and I am looking for case studies that will clearly illustrate this concept. I am seeking a real case of an organization that specifically uses standards or methods for performance appraisal and identifies deficiencies based on the results of this appraisal, leading them to make changes in these standards or methods. I would greatly appreciate any help with references.

I suggest first defining the effectiveness of PA; then, it will be easy to design the questionnaire. I had defined the effectiveness of PA based on the satisfaction levels of stakeholders.

Thanks,

My advice to bloggers seeking general information is to search the web and then post specific and precise questions. For example, a search on this general topic led me to the OECD survey questionnaire—a 23-page document—at http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/7/32/43081350.pdf. Also, see <link outdated-removed> found at Google. Have a nice day.

You can find different patterns and formats on various websites such as Scribd and DocStoc. There are some standard patterns as well, but I would suggest you develop one that is a mix of different types of questions—open-ended and multiple choice. For this, you should study a little of research methodology; don't opt for the standard one. If you want your project to be really good, analyze the company whose performance appraisal you are studying.

Clarify Your Research Topic

Secondly, you should mention the complete topic. Are you studying the performance appraisal system of a particular company, or are you starting from scratch and developing a new performance appraisal, or are you studying its effect on job performance and effectiveness? These minute differences create a huge difference.
