business
Slide 59
59 Rami Gharaibeh Job Design The analyst/designer will obtain
information on TDRs and KSAOs and generate information on TDRs and
KSAOs The output is guided by the input but is not a replicate of
it. The firms strategy and competitive advantage will affect its
job design
Slide 60
60 Rami Gharaibeh Job Design when designing a job, the designer
will follow one of these approaches mechanistic approach
motivational approach biological approach
Slide 61
61 Rami Gharaibeh Job Design Mechanistic Approach Has its roots
in classical industrial engineering. Focuses on designing jobs
around the concepts of task specialization, skill simplification,
and repetition. Scientific management, one of the earliest
mechanistic approaches, sought to identify the one best way to
perform the job through the use of time-and-motion studies.
Slide 62
62 Rami Gharaibeh Job Design Mechanistic Approach The
scientific management approach was built upon in later years and
resulted in a mechanistic approach that calls for the job to be
designed very simply. New employees can be trained to perform the
job quickly and inexpensively.
Slide 63
63 Rami Gharaibeh Job Design Motivational Approach The
motivational approach to job design focuses on the job
characteristics that affect the psychological meaning and
motivational potential of job design. A focus on increasing job
complexity through job enlargement, job enrichment, and the
construction of jobs around sociotechnical systems. A model of how
job design affects employee reaction is the Job Characteristics
Model.

Quality of Work High Satisfaction Low Absenteeism and Turnover
Slide 65
65 Rami Gharaibeh Job Design Biological Approach Comes
primarily from the sciences of biomechanics, or the study of body
movements Is referred to as ergonomics, or the concern with
examining the interface between individuals' physiological
characteristics and the physical work environment. The goal of this
approach is to minimize the physical strain on the worker by
structuring the physical work environment around the way the body
works. Focuses on outcomes such as physical fatigue, aches and
pains, and health complaints.

Instruments These are the instruments used to measure the
performance of employees In many occasions these instruments are
simple forms containing may be 10 questions which a manager has to
fill out
Slide 81
81 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Performance Appraisal
Instruments Are the results of these instruments dependable? If
not, then all decisions based on these results are wrong How do we
know that our instruments are useful?
Slide 82
82 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Performance Appraisal
Instruments Appraisal instruments have to come high on four
criteria Reliability Validity Specificity Acceptability
Slide 83
83 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Reliability Reliability
is the consistency of your measurement, or the degree to which an
instrument measures the same way each time it is used under the
same condition with the same subjects. In short, it is the
repeatability of your measurement. A measure is considered reliable
if a person's score on the same test given twice is similar.
Slide 84
84 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Reliability The concept
of random error is closely related to the concept of precision The
higher the precision of a measurement instrument, the smaller the
variability of the fluctuations in its readings..
Slide 85
85 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Validity A valid
measure is one that measures what it is intended to measure
Slide 86
86 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Validity Best available
approximation to the truth or falsity of a given inference,
proposition or conclusion Cook and Campbell (1979) In short, were
we right?
Slide 87
87 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Specificity The extent
to which a performance measure gives detailed guidance to employees
about what is expected of them and how they can meet these
expectations
Slide 88
88 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Acceptability The
extent to which a performance measure is deemed to be satisfactory
or adequate by those who use it
Slide 89
89 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Acceptability
Acceptability has to be considered on the side of the employee as
well as on the side of the manager
Slide 90
90 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal What Are We Appraising?
We are appraising the employees level in performing his/her TDRs
Since the TDRs are linked to the KSAOs, then a low score in TDRs
would hint a weakness in KSAOs

179 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Behavioral Approach
Three techniques within this approach Critical incident
Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) Behavioral observation
scales (BOS)
Slide 180
180 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Behavioral Approach
Critical incidents Requires managers to keep record of specific
examples of effective and ineffective performance
182 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Behavioral Approach
Critical incidents What about reliability? What about
specificity?What about acceptability? What about validity?
184 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Behavioral Approach
Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) select a group of
behaviors, then for each behavior set a group of statements that
describe several levels of performing the behavior
Slide 185
185 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Behavioral Approach
Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) Example A nurses
preparedness for shift is one job behavior
Slide 186
186 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Behavioral Approach
Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) this nurse arrives at
her shift on time, dressed as the code requires, Having all
equipment with her, receives all required reports from previous
shift this nurse arrives at her shift a few minutes late, have to
go to closet to dress up as the code requires,Have to gather her
equipment, receives all required reports from previous shift this
nurse arrives at her shift very late, have to go to closet to dress
up as the code requires,cannot find her equipment, not keen on
receiving all required reports from previous shift
Slide 187
187 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Behavioral Approach
Behavioral observation scales (BOS) It adds another dimension to
BARS, which is the dimension of frequency
Slide 188
188 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Behavioral Approach
Behavioral observation scales (BOS) this nurse arrives at her shift
on time, dressed as the code requires, Having all equipment with
her, receives all required reports from previous shift Almost
always 321Almost never
Slide 189
189 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Results Approach
Management by objectives top management passes down companys
strategic goals to next layer of management, and these managers
define the goals they must achieve
Slide 190
190 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Quality Approach A
performance management system designed with a strong quality
orientation can be expected to: Emphasize an assessment of both
person and system factors in the measurement system. Emphasize that
managers and employees work together to solve performance problems.
Involve both internal and external customers in setting standards
and measuring performance. Use multiple sources to evaluate person
and system factors

Errors There are five types of errors a rater could commit Similar
to me Contrast Distributional errors Halo Horns
Slide 201
201 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Similar-to-me Error
when the raters evaluation is affected by the similarity between
him and the subject The concept of similarity could take one of
many forms: gender, religion, region, country, political views,
etc.
Slide 202
202 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Contrast Error when
the raters evaluation is affected by wrong selection of the
reference
Slide 203
203 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Contrast Error KSAOs
TDRs Appraisal instrument Product/ service Apply them in To produce
measure compare Reference
209 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Contrast Error should
I compare KAUH employees with employees of Mayo clinic or with
employees of Princess Basma Hospital? Realistic and fair
reference
Slide 210
210 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Distributional Error
when the raters evaluations do not fit a normal distribution
curve
214 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Halo Error when the
rater fails to treat each aspect of performance separately; a
positive evaluation of one aspect is generalized to other aspects
Example Because doctor A has high surgical skills, he also receives
high scores on his poor traits
Slide 215
215 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Horns Error when the
rater fails to treat each aspect of performance separately; a
negative evaluation of one aspect is generalized to other aspects
Example Because doctor A has low surgical skills, he also receives
low scores on his good traits

we reduce the errors in appraisal?
Slide 217
217 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Reducing Errors How do
we reduce the errors in appraisal? Through training
Slide 218
218 Rami Gharaibeh Performance Appraisal Feedback Feedback
should be given every day, not once a year. Ask employees to rate
their performance before the session. Encourage the subordinate to
participate in the session. Focus on solving problems. Focus
feedback on behavior or results, not on the person. Minimize
criticism. Agree to specific goals and set a date to review
progress.
