Performance MGT System and Its Relation With Employee Satisfaction
The topic of the project report is performance management system and its relationship with employee satisfaction.The research was conducted on employees of Indian Oil, Lodhi road branch.The aim of the project is to derive the satisfaction level from performance management system and sough improvements in the same. The connection between employee satisfaction and employee performance management is wide and clear, and the connection is obvious in the domain of human resource management while it has a broad impact on all aspects of organizational performance. Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. There are a variety of factors that can influence a persons level of job satisfaction. Some of these factors include the level of pay and benefits, the perceived fairness of the promotion system within a company, the quality of the working conditions, leadership and social relationships, the job itself. Other influences on satisfaction include the management style and culture, employee involvement, empowerment and autonomous workgroups. Job satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently measured by organizations. The most common way of measurement is the use of rating scales where employees report their reactions to their jobs. From the employees point of view performance appraisal is important, because they can modify their work behavior to become a more effective performer, and it increases the likelihood of receiving increase compensation and/or recognition. Indirect financial and non financial payments employees receive for continuing with good performance as well as the employment with the company are Supplemental Pay Benefits Insurance Benefits Vacations and Holidays Sick Leave Parental Leave and Family Leave Medical Leave Retirement Benefits

Apraisee fills a form in the starting of financial year which includes targets to be achieved by that particular employee. Then Appraiser and Appraisee discuss them, reach an agreement and put the agreed goals in writing. Then they plan how to achieve these goals. On the basis of priority they decide activities to be done to achieve the goals. At the end of financial year, Appraisee evaluates himself and gives marks out of 5. Then Appraiser evaluates the Appraisee and gives him marks out of 5. These 3 marks signify: 321Outstanding Average. Needs improvement

SCOPE The scope of the project report is limited to Lodhi road branch of Indian Oil Corporation.
Chapter-2.LITERATURE REVIEW
It is often said that organisations that perform well are a reflection of the efforts and successes of their staff. Recognising these efforts and appropriately praising or redirecting them is imperative for organisational success. This is the basic purpose of performance appraisals.
George and Cole (1992) describe it as, to discuss performance and plan for the future. Wanna et al (1992) define the objective of staff appraisals as to improve planning and service delivery at the general level, but also to provide feedback to individual officers
Kouzes and Posner (1993) stress the importance of finding people who fit the company rather than a specific job, this can be extrapolated to include keeping the right people. It must be recognised that every organisation will be subject to a set of values or culture and if that culture is not the desired one then the identification of desired attitudes or behaviours in individuals should be actively considered at times of performance review.
Curtain (1993) highlights the key competencies required are those of leadership, stating that public sector managers at all levels need to be able to display leadership values. The issue of leadership competencies versus a more traditional managerial skill set is argued by Curtain in terms of good management being related to order and predictability whilst leadership through inspiration, motivation and establishment of common values of staff is able to produce change, often to a dramatic degree Dickenson (1994) argues that to ignore individuals in the review process is to ignore a major input into the achievement of organisational outcomes Performance measurement is a fundamental process of management (Muchiri et al., 2010). It managed the performance of both organizations and individuals. The performance may include the inputs, outcomes, impacts and relate to economy, efficiency, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, or equity (Brudan, 2010). The process of performance management is like a cycle, which include plan, act, monitor and review (Armstrong, 2005). Planning is to set goals for organizations. It helps to identify the objectives and competence requirements of an organization.
To underpin these discussions, there must be a reliable and accurate method by which to determine current levels of performance and compare them with predetermined levels of acceptability. There is therefore an inference of a need for quantifiable standards linked to job descriptions and expected performance (Wanna et al 1992). Wood (1989) argues that this leads to two types of appraisal mechanisms, based on either accountabilities or core competencies. The challenge, is to find ways to discuss openly what has previously been left unsaid (Cherry, 1993) According to (Pulakos, 2003)The ability to conduct performance appraisal relies on the ability to assess an employees performance in a fair and accurate manner. Evaluating employee performance is a difficult task. Once the supervisor understands the nature of the job and the source of information, the information needs to be collected in a systematic way, provided as feedback, and integrated into the organizations performance management process for use in making compensation, job placement and training decisions and assignment. According to Landy, Zedeck, Cleveland, 1983 performance appraisal, it provides the foundation for behaviorally based employee counseling. In the counseling setting, performance information provides the vehicle for increasingsatisfaction, commitment, and motivation of the employee. Performance measurement allows the organization to tell the employee some thing about their rates of growth, their competencies, and their potentials. There is little disagreement that if well done, performance measurements and feedback can play a valuable role in effecting the organization . McKirchy, 1998 states that Performance appraisals should focus on three objectives: performance, not personalities; valid, concrete, relevant issues, rather that subjective emotions and feelings;reaching agreement on what the employee is going to improve in his performance and what you are going to do. According to Barr, 1993A portion of the process should be devoted to an examination of potential opportunities to pursue advancement of acceptance of more complex responsibilities. The employee development goals should be recognized as legitimate, and plans should be made to reach the goals through developmental experiences or education () Zedeck, Cleveland, 1983 states that Encouraging development is not only asupervisors professional responsibility, but it also motivates an employee to pursue additional commitments. In addition, the pursuit of these objectives will also improve the prospect that current employees will be qualified as candidates when positions become available. This approach not only motivates current performance but also assists the recruitment of current employees as qualified candidates for future positions
i. Explorative Research: The explorative research has helped to determine the best research design, data collection and selection of subjects. The reliance of exploratory research on secondary research, such as qualitative approaches: informal discussions with employees, management and more formal approaches through in-depth interviews, questionnaire has given a significant insight into the given situation.
ii. Descriptive research: On the other hand descriptive research has helped to determine how, where, when and what of the situation. Therefore descriptive research has been used here to get the maximum amount of the information.

5.2 Conclusions
1.The employees are well versed with the performance management system carried out at IOCL. They are aware of the reasons for performance appraisal and his give the fullest of their corporation which also means they are satisfied with the system. 2. It can also be observed that there is some biasness in the evaluation system or the ratings which could contribute to dissatisfaction. 3. The performance management system is not that effective in identifying latent potential of employees and only rates them over their monotonous work schedule. Employees do not feel that comfortable in discussing negative points which acts as a barrier in effective communication and contuous improvement. 4. Management by objectives is used as a measure of performance appraisal as the objectives are set in consultation of employees. And thus they are highly motivated and their suggestions are welcomed. 5. On the whole employees are satisfied with the performance appraisal system of the Corporation.
5.3 SUGGESTIONS
1.The performance appraisal should be conducted more than once in a year. 2.The reasons for conducting appraisal should be clearly spelled out. 3.The entire structure needs to be restructured in such a way that employees so not shy away from discussing negative points and be more transparent so that biasness does not take place.
4.More emphasis should be laid on identifying potential of the employees. 5.Prompt feedback needs to be given from time to time in order to check employees whenever they deviate from the path.
