Page "Performance appraisal" Paragraph 41

The performance appraisal ( PA ) interview is typically the final step of the appraisal process.

The interview is held between the subordinate and supervisor.

The PA interview can be considered of great significance to an organization ’ s PA system.

It is most advantageous when both the superior and subordinate participate in the interview discussion and establish goals together.

Three factors consistently contribute to effective PA interviews: the supervisor ’ s knowledge of the subordinate ’ s job and performance in it, the supervisor ’ s support of the subordinate, and a welcoming of the subordinate ’ s participation.
