Results of a Study

As indicated earlier in this study, two research samples were selected, each including 35 individuals. In the nonsupervisory sample, only 32 of the 35 individuals (91.4 percent) participated in the study, while in the supervisory sample, only 33 of the 35 individuals (94.3 percent) of the individuals participated in the study.

Mean perceptions of the two sample groups with respect to the characteristics (objectivity, validity, reliability, relevancy, equitability, and accountability) of the performance evaluation process are presented in Table 1, which may be found on the following page. As the data presented in the table indicate, neither of the sample groups gave high marks to the existing performance evaluation process. Most perceptions of each of the sample groups indicated that the existing performance evaluation process was below average with respect to each of the six measured characteristics. The supervisory sample indicated that the existing performance evaluation process was slightly above average with respect to equity; however, the nonsupervisory sample rated the existing performance evaluation process well below average with respect to this characteristic.

the morale of nonsupervisory civilian employees (Strongly agree = 5.0; strongly disagree = 1.0). =============================================================== As the data presented in Table 4 indicate, there was a unanimous agreement by both sample groups that the existing performance evaluation process did not exert positive effects on the motivation of the nonsupervisory civilian workers. With respect to each of the six characteristics, however, the nonsupervisory sample held stronger negative perceptions than did the supervisory sample.Table 5 Summary of Chi Square Results: Extent to Which the Performance Evaluation Process Affected Motivation =============================================================== Characteristic Degrees of Critical Calculated Significant Freedom Value @ Value @ p<.05 p<.05      Objectivity 5 11.070 4.800 No Validity 5 11.070 4.300 No Reliability 5 11.070 1.900 No
