It helps organizations to identify and manage the performance of highs achievers, as well as identify low and non-performers for intervention and development. Total Quality Management takes a system- oriented perspective in managing individuals and group performance and must be compatible with continuous improvement efforts and customer-based strategies. The TQM driven Multi-source Assess- ment provides an alternative to traditional supervisor only appraisal process. This study was under- taken to determine whether Total Quality Management (TQM) based multi-source assessment (MSA) appraisal is perceived as fairer than traditional supervisor only appraisal system. The study was con- ducted using multi-group experimental design in a field setting. The perceived fairness of the perform- ance assessment system was tested using the combined pretest posttest data of the experimental and control group. The t-test results indicated that changes in agreement scores from pretest to posttest result were significant and TI - Multi-Source Assessment - A Total Quality Management Driven Performance Appraisal System: The Issue of Fairness JO - Malaysian Management Journal DO - 10.32890/mmj.8.1.2004.8754 DA - 2020-02-24 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/multi-source-assessment-a-total-quality-management-driven-performance-pgM6Rz0opS DP - DeepDyve ER -
