Appraisals is just about to begin, now think for a while, how good to embrace trigonometric plot – BELL CURVE as strategic distribution of evaluation employee performance?
First one, it’s not an ideal methodology to think, except and perform.
Secondly, mostly organizations’ strategic goals are not cascaded and design well at individual levels. However, this dilemma would affect to any adopted methodology, but using bell curve would misleading by many ways.
Third, our maturity in job designing are not subject to embrace 20, 70, 10 classification.
Forth, downing 10% of population demands 10% more spacing in competence framework or manpower to meet organizational goals.
Fifth, putting force figure on competence leads very misguided need for training.
Sixth, most of the people are always in the middle – rated more or less “average.” And implicit in this last assumption is the idea that most of the money and rewards go to the middle of the curve.
Seventh, approx. 15% of the population are above the average, a large population are slightly below average, and a small group are far below average. So the concept of “average” becomes meaningless.
Eighth, very erroneous’ results are seen by fitting curve less than 300 employees.
Ninth, would be difficult to drive true results having applied to evaluate behavioral aspects.

8 年I think it can only work in large industry where thousands of employees are working. On normal organization and normal factory environment, it creates mess.

8 年Yes it can be implemented in big organizations where employees are very high in numbers. But for smaller organization it is a tool of loosing good resource.... in short span of time.... I endorse Shafique point of view.
