The Performance Appraisal and Feedback in Connection to Career Success

Abstract

The appearance of performance appraisal is not new; as early as the 1900s, classical management theories' representatives expressed its importance. In the HR functions system, we classify them as traditional functions, on which many other activities are based. It is present in some form in the functioning of every organisation, whether formally or informally. Appraisal works well if it is not accountable and punitive but motivates and encourages people. The research aims to analyse performance appraisal and feedback and the coherence with career success in employees. A significant factor concerning the coronavirus is the change in working conditions and the resulting uncertainties, further increasing the importance of performance appraisal. The research conclusions are based on our questionnaire results, according to which it can be said that performance appraisal still plays a central role today. Regular feedback is encouraging, motivating and expected by employees for development. A properly functioning performance appraisal system helps with career development, commitment, and combines individual goals with strategic, organisational goals.
