A Study of the Effect Performance Appraisals have on Motivating Improved Performance and Productivity for GS-1105 Series Contracting Personnel at U.S. Navy Small Purchase Activities

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to study the effect performance appraisals have on motivating improved performance and productivity for GS-1105 series contracting personnel at U.S. Navy Small Purchase Activities and to evaluate the compatibility the current performance appraisal system has with the applicable performance appraisal concepts of Total Quality Management (TQM). A questionnaire was developed and distributed to various Navy small purchase activities which was used to determine perceptions that these contracting personnel have about their performance appraisals. Additionally, several examples of these activities' performance appraisal standards were analyzed for compatibility with the Total Quality Management performance appraisal concept. It was determined that performance appraisals do have an effect on motivating increased performance and productivity and that current performance appraisal are not compatible with TQM. Keywords: Management planning and control, Performance appraisal, Total quality management, Small purchases, GS-1105 Series, Theses.
