Q1.State the four essential components of 360 degree appraisal.

The 360 degree appraisal works on four essential components:

Self appraisal: Self appraisal gives a chance to the employee to compare his/her

abilities, limitations, success with others and judge ones own performance. Self

evaluation is an essential part of 360 degree appraisals and therefore contribution of

employees to 360 degree performance systems is large and also has a powerful effect

on attitude and performance. It provides a "360- degree evaluation" of the employees

performance and is measured to be one of the most realistic performance appraisal

methods.

Superior appraisal: Superiors appraisal outlines the traditional thought of

performance appraisal, where the employees tasks and actual presentation is rated by

the superior. This form of assessment involves the evaluation of individuals by

supervisors on pre-determined parameters in an employees performance record, as

well as the evaluation of team and work scenario by senior managers.

The superiors (supervisors and senior managers) have the authority to change

and modify an employees or a teams work on the basis of the assessment of the

individual and the team.

Subordinate appraisal: Subordinates feedback involves the evaluation of an individual on

parameters like communication and convincing abilities, superiors ability to assign

the work, team leading qualities and so on.

Subordinate appraisal: Subordinate appraisal is most advantageous when

developmental needs are considered. It can also be used in the evaluation of record

sheets, but measures should be taken to make sure that subordinates are appraising

parameters of which they have knowledge. The subordinates feedback is effective,

mainly in evaluating the supervisors interpersonal skills. However, it may not be as

proper or convincing for measuring task-oriented skills.

Peer appraisal: Peers usually have an exclusive point of view on a colleagues job

performance and individuals are generally very friendly to the idea of rating each

other. Peer ratings are considered when the individuals capability is known or the

result of the performance can be computed. There are both considerable assistance

and serious consequences that must be cautiously considered before including this

type of feedback in an all-round appraisal program.

Taken as an effective developmental tool and conducted periodically, a 360 degree

application can prove to be highly useful in keeping the track of alterations in others

perceptions about the employees. A 360 degree appraisal is generally more appropriate

at the managerial level, as it helps in evaluating their leadership and supervision styles.

This method is being successfully used around the globe for improving performance.

Some of the companies that have been successfully following

360 degree appraisals are TCS, Microsoft and Wipro Technologies.
