Written by: Md. Rashed Ali Khan
This thesis has been prepared for investigating the effectiveness of performance appraisal at “First Hotel Skt. Petri”. Performance appraisal is regarded as one of the important practices of human resource in the current era. The importance of it can be made visible from the perspective of motivating the employees, ensuring job satisfaction, achieving desired promotion along with producing better output for the entire organization. The main goal of this thesis is to justify this importance of performance appraisal from the data collected from the employees and managers of “First Hotel Skt. Petri” in central Copenhagen. This hotel has been chosen to be researched because it is a part of the whole “First Hotels” and the findings should represent the current condition of performance appraisal in “First Hotels” chain.
Eighty four employees completed a questionnaire survey and five managers were interviewed during a focus group. After conducting the whole analysis, some major findings can be mentioned here. Firstly, performance appraisal is a major factor for motivating the employees and it makes a positive impact on the job promotion of the employees as well. Secondly, there should be clear co-ordination regarding transfer of information and follow-up activities among the employees and managers of any organization for ensuring a better result from the performance appraisal. Thirdly, there should be time to time training activities run in any organization regarding performance appraisal for ensuring the best possible outcome from the employees.
