PREFACE
The purpose of this study was to determine the factors which the employees in the organization
preferring for their appraisal and the employees satisfaction with the existing appraisal system.
The results of the current study can be used by organization to develop policies, practices, and
strategies regarding their appraisal system and can create greater efficiencies in meeting strategic
business objectives. Findings were made based on the data collected from 100 employees with the aidof a questionnaire in which 5-point likert scale and rating scale were employed.
Most of the respondents rated both subjective and objective measures as preferable. It was also found
that some employees surveyed are dissatisfied with their present organization appraisal methods and

there are great chances that they may leave their employer if they get better job opportunities from any
better employer. The employer must pay attention to this situation and design effective methods as
remedies at the earliest or else they may soon lose their efficient workforce

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC
Managing employee performance is an integral part
of the work that all managers and rating officials perform throughout the year. It is as
important as managing financial resources and program outcomes because employee
performance or the lack thereof, has a profound effect on both the financial and program
components of any organization.
Performance appraisal system is the best way to maintain the assets of an organization that are the Employees.
A formal definition of performance appraisal is:

Developing a Performance Appraisal System in GPIL:
Managers can use the information gained from performance appraisal for two main purposes:
1. Developmental purposes such as determining how to motivate an employee to perform at a high level,
evaluating which of an employee's weaknesses can be corrected by additional training, and helping an
employee formulate appropriate career goals.
2. Evaluative, decision-making purposes such as deciding whom to promote, how to set pay levels, and
how to assign tasks to individual employee.
Methods of Appraisal in GPIL
The measures managers use to appraise performance can be of two types:
1. Objective and,
2. Subjective .
Objective measures such as numerical counts are based on facts. They are used primarily when
results are the focus of Performance appraisal. The number of televisions a factory employee
assembles in a day, the dollar value of the sales a salesperson makes in a week, the number of patients
a physician treats in a day and the return on capital, profit margin, and growth in income of a businessare all objective measures of performance.
Subjective measures are based on individuals' perceptions, and can be used for appraisals based on
traits, behaviors, and results. Because subjective measures are based on perceptions, they are
vulnerable to many of the biases and problems that can distort person perception. Because there is no
alternative to the use of subjective measures for many jobs, researchers and managers have focused
considerable attention on the best way to construct subjective measures of performance.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The performance appraisal of the employees in the organization should be an effective tool for
measuring the employees performance. If the performance not measured in a real manner it will be a critical

issue. A study on impact of performance appraisal was undertaken to study the reasons and ways to improve
the condition.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The present study on Impact of Performance Appraisal System in GPIL was undertaken with the
following objectives keeping in mind for the benefit of employees of GPIL:
To find out the employees satisfaction level regarding the existing performance appraisal
system . To find out whether the company is providing effective training for the improvement of
employees performance. To determine the gaps in the existing system. To determine what type of appraisal did the employees really looking for. To find is there is any opportunities provided for the employees to improve their performance.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of the project is fully dependent upon the objectives of the project:
This study can be helpful for GPIL while conducting any further research. The s tudy i s a l so he lpfu l in f ind ing out the respondent s op in ion towards cer ta in
attributes.
8/7/2019 sameer project.

It is also helpful in finding out the reach and effectiveness of the performance
appraisal system in GPIL. This study also serves as a base for understanding the perception about the
employees regarding their performance appraisal. With the results of the study GPIL can improve their standards of 180-degree appraisal system.
1.4 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Time and resource were the major constraints during the execution of the project. Therefore
only a limited number of employees were included in the project. The respondents were selected inside the organization only. So it cannot be generalized as a
whole. Some of the respondents were not even ready to spare time with the researcher. There are many respondents who hesitated to answer the questionnaire. The human behaviour is dynamic and hence the results may not hold good for a long time. The results of the survey are totally dependent on the accuracy and authenticity of the
information provided by the respondents.

CONCEPTS AND REVIEW
2.1 CONCEPTS OF THE STUDY
2.1.1 Concept of Performance Appraisal System
All over the world, employees would love their jobs, l ike their co-employees, work
hard for them, ge t pa id wel l fo r the i r work , have ample chances for advancement , and
flexible schedules so they could attend to personal or family needs when necessary.
The per formance appra i sa l i s to assess a person and le t h im to know where he i s
being s tanding along with the job. I t is to f ind whether he is performing with his task or
not.
2.2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
1. M Bowels and G Coates (1993)
The Management of Performance as Rhetoric on Reality
ARGUMENT:
8/7/2019 sameer project.
15/51
Managers are mostly appraised by results, but results alone cannot reflect
performance because it is sti l l affected by many other factors.
RESEARCH:
The problems faced by the organization experiencing some difficulties were
measuring performance and the extra demands made on managers.
CONCLUSION:
Management should provide the enabling conditions through which work is
performed. Performance appraisal should be an opportunistic means to address performance
issues rather than a coherent systematic process.
2. D Winstanely and K Stuart-Smith (1996)
RESEARCH:
Conclusive evidence that leads to improved performance is lacking.
Not enough time is given to the process. It reinforces modes of intrusive control.
CONCLUSION:
The focus must move away from measurement and judgement towards developing,
understanding and building up trust to allow a genuine dialogue to take place.

2.3 COMPANY PROFILE
Godawari Power & Ispat Ltd. (GPIL) a public Ltd. Co. , formally Ispat Godawari Ltd (IGL),
belonging to HIRA Group of Industries, Raipur, C.G. was incorporated in 1999 to set up an integrated steel
plant with captive power generation under the guidance of visionary leadership of Shri B. L. Agrawal,
Managing Director, a techno commercial person (Qualified Engineer) having proven wide experience in
commissioning & running of Cement Plant, Sponge Iron Plant etc., backed by a dedicated team of
professionally qualified personnel under the stewardship of board of Directors having expertise in
Engineering finance administration GPIL is listed co. with the nation stock exchange and Bombay Stock
Exchange.
GPIL is a flagship Company of Raipur-based Hira Group of Industries, which is an integrated steel
manufacturer and is having dominant presence in the long product segment of the Steel industry, mainly into
mild steel wire. Today, GPIL is an end-to-end manufacturer of mild steel wires. In the process, the company
manufactures sponge iron, billets, Ferro alloys, captive power, wires rods (through subsidiary company), steelwires, Oxygen gas, fly ash brick and last but not the least pallets. GPIL is also awarded rights for Iron Ore
and Coal Mining for captive consumption, as a result of which, the company has managed to traverse the
entire value chain (raw material to final product) in steel wires and is now a fully integrated manufacturer.
GPIL has come a long way since it started its operation in Raipur, Chhattisgarh as a sponge iron manufacturer
in the year 2001. Over the last few years, the company has scaled up its capacity five fold and is today the
third largest producer of coal based sponge iron in India and is one of the largest players in the mild steel

the value chain.
Milestones
The Company crossed Rs 1000 crore marks in turnover. 2007-08 has seen an all around growth in the
performance of the company, backed by higher volumes of production and better price realizations.
The company has achieved consolidated revenue of Rs. 936 crore during the year under review as
compared to revenue of Rs. 551 crore during the previous year, a growth of 70%.
The consolidated net profit after tax grew by 82% to Rs. 99 crore as against Rs. 54 crore during the
previous year.
Considering the fact that just two years ago, when we concluded our initial public
offering our revenues were just 275 crore and net profit of Rs. 22 crore, the company has within a short span
of time achieved significant growth in volume of business, revenue, profits and net worth and achieved annual
compounded growth of over 80% in terms of revenue and profitability last during two years.
Future Plans
The growth drivers are still on with further plans to improve the operating margins by entering into backward
integration through mining of iron ore and coal and venturing into value added manufacturing facilities by
setting up iron pelletisation plant-a process to convert iron ore fines into pellets which can be used as a raw
material for making sponge iron as replacement of sized iron ore.
GPIL has been granted mining lease for 2 iron ore mines at Ari Dongri and Boria Tibu in Chattisgarh . Th
would be on an area of 216 hectare & prospecting license for another iron ore mines with an area of 754
hectare in Chattisgarh.
GPIL has also been granted mining rights in consortium for mining of coal in Chattisgarh and the coal mines
are being developed through special purpose Joint venture Company which has also achieved significant
progress towards getting various regulatory approvals and coal mining operations are expected to commence
some time in FY 2011.
