Close enough. But what I don't really understand is that, why do it contradicts? I mean it was stated the purposes of performance appraisal are, for example, to provide feedback and training and development. But why might there be contradictory? Conflicting purposes? I hope you can give me more examples if this is the case.
By the way, here are the purposes of PA that I'm using for my presentation and hopefully, maybe you can spot the contradictions:
1) To provide feedback of the performance
2) To issue rewards and sanctions
3) To serve as an input for determining training, recruitment and placement needs
4) Provides opportunity to discuss career objectives
5) Provides a performance history which is not based on human relations theory
6) Provides an opportunity to view one's performance in the context of broader organisation goals
7) Provides an opportunity to a clearer articulations and definitions of performance expectations
P.s. thanks for your reply :D
