Performance management systems
Performance management systems have been defended as being advantageous to both employees and businesses alike by providing workers with feedback about how to improve their output. They have been criticized, however, because the use of performance reviews is said to be implicated in a focus on "short-term performance, annihilating long-term planning, building fear, demolishing teamwork and nourishing rivalry and politics" (Nankervis & Compton 2006: 84). However, flatter organizations and increased self-management have caused many managers to defend such reviews as necessities, given the lack of everyday direction many workers experience in their day-to-day existence (Nankervis & Compton 2006: 84-85).
According to Nankervis & Compton in their...
Overall, they found that while performance reviews are more common, the format is not necessarily used to its maximum advantage and is often inconsistently applied. "The two major types of performance management systems in this study are 'performance management' (64%) and 'hybrid' (21%), both of which were combinations (or customized forms) of more traditional appraisal techniques" (Nankervis & Compton 2006: 88).
For a performance review to be effective it must not merely provide input to the individual employee. It must also be strongly linked to organizational goals and strategy. Managers who used the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) seemed more confident about maximizing the use of performance reviews to achieve this objective (Nankervis & Compton 2006: 90). Of those who used general performance reviews, while most companies…

The evaluation is conducted to identify attitudes, job performance and behavior of the employee during the performance of their duties and functions. The evaluation is done at all levels of the organization starting from the top to bottom. One of the most common uses of the performance
Hence, conflicts are generated only by misunderstanding or mischief (Edwards, 2003). Although unitarism have been proven to represent old-fashioned and unrealistic ideas, many managers nowadays follow this approach. They believe in a harmony of interests between them and their employers. However, practice has proven little resemblance between the employees' desires and interests, and those of their employers. Therefore, with such an approach to the employment relationship, conflict is inevitable.

At this point we can conclusively deduce that the workforce at Telstra lacks intrinsic rewards as well as extrinsic rewards. The link between reward and performance is not clearly defined. However a certain amount of literature has indicated that a certain level of motivation is necessary in order to achieve certain desired results from the workforce. Link between organizational strategy and the management of reward & performance The Telstra management is
However, as Murphy (2008) notes, these original scores, and the weightings, are given by biased humans who may have another agenda than simply giving the most accurate appraisal possible. In addition, there is also the question about whether a truly accurate (when negative) appraisal is the best course of action due to the possible negative consequences. Management by Objectives (MBO) Sudarsan (2009) surmises that, in the past, researchers have concluded that
