CASE: HERE WE GO AGAIN The position of business office manager at Memorial Hospital has been a “hot seat,” changing incumbents frequently. When the position was vacated last May the four senior employees in the department were interviewed. All were told that because they were at the top of grade and the compensation structure for new supervisors had “not yet caught up with that of other jobs,” the position would not involve an increase in pay. All four declined to pursue the position, and all were given the impression that they were not considered fully qualified anyway, but that they might be considered for supervision again at a later date. That same month a new business office manager was hired from the outside, and the four senior employees were instructed to “show the new boss all you know.” Over the following several months the finance director told all four employees that they had “come along very well” and would be considered for the manager’s position should it come open…

After spending several weeks on the job, Jennifer was surprised to discover that her father, Jack, the owner of Carter cleaning company, has not formally evaluated any employees performance for all the years that he had owned the business.

Furthermore, contended Jack, manual workers such as those doing the pressing and the cleaning did periodically get positive feedback in terms of praise from Jack for a job well done, or criticism, also from Jack, if things did not look right during one of his swing through the stores. Similarly, Jack was never shy about telling his managers about store problems so that they, too, got some feedback on where they stood. This informal feedback notwithstanding, Jennifer believes that a more formal appraisal approach is required. She believes that…
