Implementation of the performance management system in the Department of Employment and Labour, Limpopo Province

Abstract

Institutions that employ an appropriate and good appraisal system are more likely to influence employee motivation, resulting in greater performance and attainment of organisational aims and purposes. This is one of the main findings in this study, consistent with prevailing literature on performance management. The purpose of this study was to investigate the implementation and effectiveness of the performance management system and how it affects the provision of service priorities in the Limpopo Department of Employment and Labour (DEL). In order to achieve the objectives, the quantitative approach was used, where a questionnaire was administered to a random sample. Analysis of data collected took place in the form of descriptive statistics and a presentation of charts. Based on the investigation’s findings, there are obstacles related to the implementation of the performance management system in DEL, such as unfair performance ratings as a result of favouritism by supervisors and managers during PMS implementation. These findings also provided some invaluable insights, namely, enforcing PMS policy regularly in order to eliminate numerous grievance cases on PMS implementation, to deal with the issue of poor leadership by supervisors and managers, and so forth, that may improve its effective implementation and mitigating recommendations to the identified challenges.
