1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE
1.2.1 History
A$iation is the design+ de$elop"ent+ production+ operation+ and use of aircraft+ especially
hea$ier-than-air aircraft.
&ndian A$iation &ndustry is one of the fastest gro)ing airline industries in the )orld. The
history of &ndian A$iation &ndustry started in ece"ber 1112 )ith its first do"estic air route
bet)een /arachi and elhi. &t )as opened by the &ndian Air !er$ices in collaboration )ith the
,/ based &"perial Air)ays as an e%tension of 9ondon-/arachi flight of the &"perial Air)ays.
Tata !ons 9td.+ the first &ndian airline+ started a regular air"ail ser$ice bet)een /arachi and
Madras three years later )ithout any bac*ing fro" the &ndian go$ern"ent.
uring the period of independence+ 1 air transport co"panies )ere carrying both air cargo and
passengers in the &ndian Territory. &n 114<+ the &ndian Co$ern"ent and Air &ndia set up a (oint
sector co"pany+ Air &ndia &nternational to further strengthen the A$iation &ndustry of &ndia. As
part of nationali=ation in 11:8 of &ndian Airlines 5&A6 brought the do"estic ci$il a$iation
sector under the pur$ie) of &ndian Co$ern"ent. 9ater till the "id 1110Ds go$ern"ent-o)ned
airlines do"inated &ndian a$iation industry. Ehen the go$ern"ent adopted the Open-s*y
policy in 1110 and other liberali=ation policies the &ndian A$iation &ndian "ade under)ent a
rapid and dra"atic transfor"ation.
By the year 2000 se$eral pri$ate airlines ha$e entered into the a$iation business in succession
and "any "ore )ere about to enter into the arena. &ndian a$iation industry today is do"inated
by pri$ate airlines and lo)-cost carriers li*e eccan Airlines+ CoAir+ and !piceFet+ etc. And
&ndian Airlines+ the giant of &ndian air tra$el industry+ gradually lost its "ar*et share to these
pri$ate airlines. According to the report of 4A3A+ these budget carriers are li*ely to double
their "ar*et share by 2010 -- one of the highest in the )orld.
&ndia is e%pected to beco"e the fourth biggest "ar*et in ter"s of $alue for all ne) aircraft
deli$eries during the ne%t 20 years+ according to aircraft "a*er Airbus. Therefore+ the a$iation
sector in &ndia is beco"ing highly pro"ising. 7urther+ the liberalisation of the sector in the
"id-nineties has resulted in a re"ar*able gro)th as a large nu"ber of pri$ate ser$ice airlines
entered the sector. A "assi$e boo" in the touris" industry and increasing le$els of disposable
inco"es ha$e gi$en an intense i"petus to the &ndian A$iation industryG the "a(or contributor
being ci$il a$iation. !trong go$ern"ent support and pri$ate participation+ coupled )ith the
a$ailability of s*illed "anpo)er+ and fa$ourable business en$iron"ent ha$e positioned &ndia
as an attracti$e in$est"ent destination on the )orld "ap.

1.3 LITERATURE REVIEW
The ob(ecti$e of this literature re$ie) is to establish the basis for this research pro(ect.
The literature re$ie) phase included an e%tensi$e e%a"ination of the $arious resources that
)ere a$ailable at the 9-4. This included an i"pressi$e list of te%tboo*s+ periodicals+ business
publications and research pro(ects. The literature re$ie) phase also included obtaining *ey
resources that )ere obtainable $ia the &nternet.
3rior to e"bar*ing on the research 2uestions+ this student sought to obtain a definition of
'3A! that )ould ser$e as the foundation for this literature re$ie) for )hich the research
2uestions could then be built upon. enhardt 511116 defines perfor"ance appraisal as a
specific e$aluation )ith respect to an indi$idualDs progress in co"pleting specified tas*s.
e$ries+ Morrison+ !hull"an and Cerlach 511<16 define perfor"ance appraisal as a process by
)hich an organi=ation "easures and e$aluates an indi$idual e"ployeeDs beha$ior and
acco"plish"ents for a finite period. 'd)ards 520006 defines '3A! as the for"al+ syste"atic
assess"ent of ho) )ell e"ployees are perfor"ing in their (obs in relation to established
standards+ including co""unication of that assess"ent to the e"ployee and the organi=ation.
'd)ards notes that the goal of the perfor"ance appraisal process is to i"pro$e the 2uality of
)or* and the indi$idual e"ployees in$ol$ed in the )or*. 'd)ards goes on to state that
perfor"ance appraisal+ if done properly+ can strengthen the organi=ation as it prepares and
de$elops the personnel in that organi=ation. After all+ 'd)ardsD states+ the su" total of the
indi$idual perfor"ance is the perfor"ance of the organi=ation.
Moulder 520016 states that perfor"ance appraisals are $alued for defining e%pectations and
"easuring the e%tent to )hich e%pectations are "et. !he goes on to 3erfor"ance appraisal 10
state that appraisals can "a*e clear to e"ployees )here they are ha$ing success and )here
they need to i"pro$e perfor"ance. Moulder indicates that appraisals are useful in setting
goals and in fostering i"pro$ed co""unications a"ong )or* groups and bet)een e"ployees
and super$isors.
4ascio 5111<6 defines perfor"ance appraisal as a process to i"pro$e e"ployeeDs )or*
perfor"ance by helping the" reali=e and use their full potential in carrying out the
organi=ationDs "issions and to pro$ide infor"ation to e"ployees and "anagers for use in
"a*ing )or* related decisions. He goes onto define '3A! as an e%ercise in obser$ation and
(udg"ent+ a feedbac* process and an organi=ational inter$ention. &t is a "easure"ent process
as )ell as an intensely e"otional process. Abo$e all+ 4ascio states+ it is an ine%act+ hu"an
process that is utili=ed differently in al"ost e$ery organi=ation regardless of industry.
Another i"portant ele"ent that )ill enhance this paper is to de$elop a historical
perspecti$e of '3A!. #ersions of e"ployee perfor"ance appraisal can be traced bac* to the
third century A.+ specifically during the period 221 up to 20:. ata produced by 'ichel and
Bender 511<46 found that an i"perial rater e$aluated the perfor"ance of the "e"bers of the
official fa"ily. His "ethod of appraisal )as sub(ecti$e+ )hich is still co""on )ith '3A! in
"any agencies today 5#roo"+ 11106. 4enturies later+ &gnatius 9oyola established a syste" of
for"al rating of the "e"bers of the Fesuit !ociety 5/oont=+ 11;16. /oont= goes on to state
that the first for"al e"ployee perfor"ance appraisal in this country )as in syste"s utili=ed by
the 7ederal go$ern"ent and for certain city ad"inistrators in the latter part of the 11th
4entury. Additionally+ one of the first accounts of for"al '3A! began in 1<18 )hen Ar"y
Ceneral 9e)is 4ass sub"itted to the Ear epart"ent an e$aluation of each of his "en+ using
such ter"s as Pgood naturedP+ Phard )or*erP and Pdespised by allP 5/oont=+ 11;16. Ar"strong
and Appelbau" 520086 report that in the pri$ate sector+ one of the first perfor"ance appraisal
processes centered on pay by "easurable input and )as ai"ed at hourly )age )or*ers.
uring the 7irst Eorld Ear+ 7rederic* Taylor tied producti$ity to nu"erical
efficiency factors in order to achie$e the highest possible output fro" )or*ers. According to
9a)ler 520006+ Taylor "ade indi$idual pay for perfor"ance an i"portant part of scientific
"anage"ent in the early 1100Ds. -esearch published by /oont= as )ell as Ar"strong and
Appelbau" indicate that the focus on '3A! during the first part of the 20th century focused
"ainly on output+ )hich often )as at the e%pense of the e"ployee.
'3A! during this period+ sought organi=ational benefit in the for" of units produced
and ulti"ately profit. Ar"strong and Appelbau" 520086 concur that e"ployee appraisal
during this period )as based on pay for perfor"ance. The authors note that pay by "easurable
output )as the pri"ary "oti$e for appraisal. &t )as not centered on "utually de$eloped goals
or e"ployee career enhance"ent as is found today. According to #roo" 511106 it is esti"ated
that o$er three-fourths of ,.!. co"panies no) utili=e perfor"ance appraisal progra"s. &n
actual practice ho)e$er+ #roo" states that for"al perfor"ance appraisal progra"s ha$e often
yielded unsatisfactory and disappointing results.
Before the 1100Ds+ perfor"ance e$aluations )ere designed pri"arily as tools for the
organi=ation to use in controlling e"ployees 5'ichel and Bender+ 11<16. 'ichel and Bender go
on to state that past perfor"ance )as used to guide or (ustify "anage"entDs actions in dealing
)ith the e"ployee. At the ti"e+ according to these authors+ perfor"ance appraisal pro$ided
the basis for salary+ retention+ discharge+ or pro"otional decisions.
'3A! use in the public sector beca"e "ore )idespread in the 11;0Ds+ according to
the &nternational 4ity Manage"ent Association 5&4MA+ 111<6 and beca"e an increasingly
i"portant personnel practice. &n public e"ploy"ent at the federal le$el+ the "a(or i"petus for
'3A! is the 4i$il !er$ice -efor" Act of 11;<. This act calls for perfor"ance appraisal
syste"s that )ill encourage e"ployee participation in setting perfor"ance standards and that
)ill also co""unicate (ob re2uire"ents to e"ployees 5&4MA+ 111<6. The shift in the purpose
of e"ployee perfor"ance appraisal during the 11;0s )as in part caused by legal pressures
re2uiring organi=ations to docu"ent and (ustify for '2ual '"ploy"ent Opportunity purposes+
all ad"inistrati$e actions including salary+ pro"otion+ and retention or discharge 5'ichel and
Bender+ 11<46. uring this decade+ so"e atte"pts in the public sector to i"pro$e '3A! )ere
noted. &n 11;:+ a re$ision of the @e) Jor* 4ity charter "andated the installation of a ne)
perfor"ance appraisal syste" for "iddle and senior le$el "anagers. Also+ at least fourteen
states atte"pted to i"pro$e e"ployee producti$ity by basing "erit pay raises on a "ore
syste"atic appraisal of perfor"ance 5&4MA+ 11<<6. O$er the past 2uarter century+ the purpose
of perfor"ance appraisal has shifted fro" tools supporting the acti$ities of "anage"ent to an
increasing trend to)ards personnel de$elop"ent 5'ichel and Bender+ 11<46. Another issue that
this student feels should be addressed in the literature re$ie) is to cite so"e of the current
reasons for perfor"ance appraisal in both public and pri$ate sector organi=ations.
Maddu% 511<;6 reports that perfor"ance appraisal pro$ides a periodic opportunity for
co""unication bet)een the person )ho assigns the )or* and the person )ho perfor"s it+ to
discuss )hat they e%pect fro" the other+ and ho) )ell those e%pectations are being "et.
Maddu% adds that '3A! inter$ie)s are not ad$ersary proceedings or social chitchat. They are
intended to be an essential co""unication lin* bet)een t)o people )ith a co""on purpose.
&4MA 5200:6 states that al"ost all e"ployees are eager to *no) ho) )ell they are doing in
their (obs+ but "any dread the "eetings in )hich their perfor"ance is to be discussed.
Additionally+ according to &4MA 5200:6+ "ost super$isors donDt loo* for)ard to e$aluation
sessions and in fact one of the pri"ary reasons )hy '3A! fails or is o$erloo*ed is because
pro$iding honest feedbac* does not co"e naturally. !uper$isors generally are also reluctant to
tell e"ployees that they are doing unsatisfactory )or* 5&4MA+ 200:6. Ar"strong and
Appelbau" 520086 note that '3A! can be one of the "ost an%iety pro$o*ing aspects of )or*
for both super$isors and e"ployees due to the difficulty of deli$ering or recei$ing infor"ation
that is critical or relates to less than ade2uate )or*.
&4MA 5200:6 cites the i"portance of '3A! in order to help the e"ployee achie$e full
potential. Additionally+ '3A! enables the super$isor to establish bench"ar*s that can be used
to "easure perfor"ance. #roo" 511106 states that for"al perfor"ance appraisal plans can be
designed to "eet the follo)ing *ey needs? 5a6 the organi=ationG 5b6 the super$isorG and 5c6 the
e"ployee. He stresses the need for effecti$e e$aluation as it can effecti$ely ser$e these critical
areas.
!upporting #roo"Ds research+ Fohnson 511;16 cites the need for '3A! )ithin the sa"e
categories and further elaborates? He notes that in the organi=ation+ '3A! is a *ey co"ponent
of the personnel syste". &t is utili=ed to trac* the perfor"ance of the e"ployee in order to
"a*e critical decisions regarding pro"otion and pay increases.
@e%t+ Fohnson states that the super$isor "ust ha$e a recogni=ed "ethod in )hich to
correct substandard perfor"ance or to substantiate pro"otion+ de"otion+ or pay ad(ust"ent.
Fohnson then stresses that the e"ployee needs to *no) ho) perfor"ance is co"pared to
super$isorDs e%pectations. '3A! is an essential lin* bet)een the super$isor and the e"ployee.
Fohnson 511;16 states that )ithout '3A!+ serious perfor"ance proble"s could de$elop. 7ro"
an organi=ational perspecti$e+ 'd)ards 520006 notes that '3A! can pro$ide useful infor"ation
regarding the effecti$eness of recruit"ent efforts+ selection strategies+ training progra"s+ and
career de$elop"ent. 'd)ards also states that '3A! can pro$ide "ultiple benefits including
feedbac* and recognition+ goal setting+ proper docu"entation+ personnel de$elop"ent+ and the
establish"ent of organi=ational bench"ar*s.
Another co"ponent & feel co"pelled to address in this literature re$ie) is an
e%a"ination of so"e of the $arious types of perfor"ance appraisals currently utili=ed. As
stated pre$iously+ perfor"ance appraisal )as first co""only used for nu"erical efficiency
factors and pay for perfor"ance. !i"ply put+ appraisal )as lin*ed directly to the a"ount of
units produced by the e"ployee. The nu"erical output )as then used as the pri"ary basis for
co"pensation. A "odern e%tension of the pay for perfor"ance is a syste" *no)n as "erit pay.
According to 9a)ler 520006 )hen using the "erit pay "ethod+ indi$idual perfor"ance is
appraised+ usually by a super$isor+ and as a result of that appraisal an ad(ust"ent 5usually
up)ard6 is "ade to a personDs salary. Ho) large that ad(ust"ent is depends on the
fa$orableness of the appraisal and the si=e of the salary increase budget+ )hich is usually
strongly influenced by the labor "ar*et and inflation 59a)ler+ 20006. Merit pay is typically not
co""on in the public sector+ as salaries are "ore closely regulated by labor contracts and
established )age scales. 7ire agency e"ployees typically recei$e step increases based on ti"e
in grade rather than actual perfor"ance 5'$ans+ 20026.
One of the "ore co""on "ethods of '3A! used in the public sector is forced choice
rating 5#roo"+ 11106. This type of rating syste" )as de$eloped to reduce bias and establish
ob(ecti$e standards of co"parison bet)een indi$idual goals+ but it does not in$ol$e the
inter$ention of a third party 5#roo"+ 11106. Typically+ the super$isor chooses fro" a"ong
groups of state"ents that best fit the indi$idual. The results are then )eighted or scored.
3eople )ith high scores are by definition the better e"ployeesG those )ith lo) scores are the
poorer ones 5#roo"+ 11106. #ariations of forced choice include general trait scale and
chec*lists+ each of )hich forces the rater to select fro" certain options based on their
obser$ations.
Another "ethod of appraisal+ )hich has gained in use in both pri$ate and public
sectors+ is the 800-perfor"ance re$ie). &t is also *no)n as the "ulti rater or "ulti source
assess"ents. This type of appraisal uses "ultiple sources of input in order to assess the
e"ployee 5&4MA+ 200:6. Me"bers of the organi=ation )ho "ay be in$ol$ed in 800-degree
re$ie) include super$isors+ top "anage"ent+ subordinates+ co-)or*ers and representati$es
fro" other depart"ents )ho interact )ith the e"ployee. &n fact+ according to &4MA 5200:6+
anyone )ho has useful infor"ation on ho) the e"ployee does the (ob "ay be a source in the
appraisal+ pro$iding a broader $ie) of the e"ployeeDs perfor"ance.
According to 4ochran 520006+ the 800-degree feedbac* tool has "any positi$e aspects
and "any proponents+ and its use is beco"ing "ore )idespread. 'd)ards 520006 notes that
the po)er of the 800-degree feedbac* tool is that it pro$ides clear and i"portant perfor"ance
infor"ation fro" a $ariety of sources. !o"e of the *ey ad$antages include reduced
discri"ination ris*+ personal and organi=ational perfor"ance de$elop"ent+ and tea"
de$elop"ent 5About.co"? Hu"an -esources+ 200;6 Manning and 4urtis 511<<6 identify a
$ariation to "ore co""on appraisal "ethods. The authors suggest a self-e$aluation
co"ponent be added to the standard super$isor re$ie). This is then co"pared and contrasted
)ith the e$aluation that is co"pleted by the super$isor. The results potentially lead the
e"ployee and super$isor to a "ore "eaningful and in depth '3A! discussion. Manning and
4urtis e"phasi=e that this e$aluation process al"ost al)ays results in an engaging discussion
bet)een the e"ployee and "anager. They note that "ost other appraisal instru"ents allo) for
only "ini"al discussion. The authors also indicate that an appraisal that does not include
"eaningful discussion bet)een the "anager and super$isor potentially erodes the usefulness
and effecti$eness of the process.
OB1ECTIVES OF THE STUDY
PRIMARY OB1ECTIVE:
To study and analy=e the e%isting perfor"ance appraisal syste"+ '"ployee
satisfaction+ and $arious aspects considered in the syste"+ usefulness and i"portance
of the syste".
SECONDARY OB1ECTIVE:
To identify the changes re2uired in the e%isting syste" and to suggest changes to
enhance the syste".
To re$ie) the perfor"ance of the e"ployees o$er a period of ti"e and to help the
"anage"ent in e%ercising organisational control.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
a6 Help the e"ployee to o$erco"e his )ea*nesses and i"pro$e o$er his strengths and
thus enable hi" to i"pro$er his perfor"ance that of the depart"ent.
b6 Cenerate ade2uate feedbac* and guidance fro" the reporting officers to the
e"ployee.
c6 4ontribute to the gro)th and de$elop"ent of the e"ployee through helping hi" in
realistic goal setting.
d6 Help in creating a desirable culture and traditions in the organi=ations.
e6 Help identifying e"ployees for the purp0ose of "oti$ating+ training and
de$eloping the".
f6 Cenerate significant+ rele$ant+ free and $alid infor"ation about e"ployees.
Thus+ a good appraisal syste" should pri"arily focus on e"ployee de$elop"ent and at the
sa"e ti"e+ pro$ide a significant input for salary and re)ard "anage"ent.

2.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is an arrange"ent of conditions for collection and analysis of data in
a "anner that ai"s to co"bine rele$ance to the research.
&t is the conceptual structure )ithin )hich research is conducted and it constitutes the
blueprint for the collection+ "easure"ent and analysis of data. &t includes an outline of )hat
the researcher )ill do fro" )ithin the hypothesis and its operational i"plications to the final
analysis of data.
The research design used for the study is descripti$e design. escripti$e research
design includes sur$eys and fact finding en2uires of different *inds. The "a(or purpose of
descripti$e research is description of the state of affairs+ as it e%ists at present.
2.2 DATA COLLECTION
The rele$ant data has been collected fro" the pri"ary sources and secondary
sources. The pri"ary data is collected by a 2uestionnaire fro" the e"ployees. 7or this purpose
of data collection+ the 2uestionnaire )as circulated a"ong the e"ployees to collect
infor"ation. The secondary data is collected by ne)s paper co"pany (ournals+ "aga=ines
)ebsites etc.
2.3 PRIMARY DATA
The pri"ary data is defined as the data+ )hich is collected for the first ti"e and
fresh nature+ and happen to be original in character through field sur$ey.
There are "any "ethods of collecting pri"ary data and the "ain "ethods include?

2.4 SECONDARY DATA
The secondary data are those )hich ha$e already been collected by so"eone else
and ha$e been passed through statistical process. The secondary data for this study are
already a$ailable in the fir"Ds internal records+ annual report+ broaches+ and co"panyDs
)ebsite.
2.5 INSTRUMENT DESIGN
The construction of the 2uestionnaire is an i"portant li"iting criterion for collecting
pri"ary data. The 2uestionnaire is constructed for the purpose of e$aluating the responses of
the respondents. The 2uestionnaire is constructed in 'nglish.
The 2uestionnaire has been structured and constructed in such a )ay that
1. >uestions ha$e been )orded appro%i"ately so that it is easy for the respondents to
understand it.
2. A logical se2uence of 2uestions has been for"ed in order to help the thought process of the
respondent.
8. The layout of the 2uestionnaire is in such a )ay that it is easy to be filled by the
respondents.
2.6 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
-ando" !a"pling "ethod is used to "a*e the research.
2.7 TOOLS USED
The research instru"ent used for the sur$ey is a structured undisguised
2uestionnaire. The 2uestionnaire has been fra"ed in structures and undisguised for"+ )ith a
total nu"ber of 20 2uestions. &t has both open ended and closed ended 2uestions. The
infor"ation collected through personal inter$ie) is also being used. 3re-testing )as
conducted to find if there )ere any discrepancies in the 2uestionnaire designed. @ecessary

II.8 Limitations
&n spite of the precautions ta*en by "e to "a*e the study ob(ecti$e+ it cannot be denied that
there are certain li"itations.
Temporal: The period of the study )ill be li"ited to the "onth of Fanuary to March 2014.
Hence the data and their te"poral conte%t )ould be li"ited to the abo$e "entioned period
only.
Area/Geographical: The study is li"ited to the e"ployees of the @ational Airport i$ision
5@A6 of the AA&+ !outhern -egion+ and 4hennai.
Procedural: All the data collected )ill be li"ited to the "ethod that )ill be adopted for
analysis. &n the current study+ the sole "ethod for collection of data being >uestionnaire+
li"its the data to the e%tent of data generation a$ailable through that "ethod.
Specific:
&t is also assu"ed that the respondents )ill be true and honest in e%pressing their
$ie)s..
As the study )as done )ithin a li"ited ti"e+ the sa"ple si=e chosen is co$ered only a
