This becomes even more important as it can sustain the growth of the company, as well as the competitiveness. This work will present multiple methods and comparisons between them for the process of building a machine learning algorithm to predict performance scores for employees in one organization; these methods include pre-processing the data, selecting the best variables, building the best algorithms for the available data, and tuning their hyperparameters. The current research aims to conclude on a collection of practices that will determine the best predictions for the given variables, so that human opinion can become less influential in employee appraisal, increasing objectivity and overall productivity.

Examining the impact of incentives on employee’s performance: A case study of the Ghana revenue authority in the Northern Region

This study employed a quantitative research design, converting responses into numerical values to mitigate potential biases arising from subjective interpretation. It focuses on the Northern Area offices of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). A total of 120 staff members were considered for the study. A sample size of 92 staff members was selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected through a questionnaire employing a five-point Likert scale. The instrument's reliability was assessed with Cronbach's Alpha (α = 0.784), signifying high reliability. The study's results show a high level of significance (Sig=0.000) for both financial and non-financial incentives, indicating their statistical significance in predicting employee performance. Regression analysis revealed that incentives significantly impact employee performance (Beta = 18.04, p = 0.037). The coefficient (a = 0.672) suggests a strong positive linear relationship, with 32.3% of variance explained by incentives. The adjusted R square (0.641) indicates a robust relationship considering the number of predictors. GRA should offer a mix of both financial and non-financial incentives, tailored to the specific needs and preferences of employees.

High performance work systems and employee performance: the roles of employee well-being and workplace friendship

ABSTRACT Promoting a thriving and productive workforce is a core task for human resource development (HRD) researchers and practitioners. Drawing on the job demands-resources model, this study aims to provide a balanced view of how high performance work systems (HPWSs) influence employee performance through different aspects of employee well-being. Data were collected from 346 employees through a three-wave survey in China. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses. The results reveal that HPWSs positively predict employee performance through psychological empowerment and negatively predict employee performance through emotional exhaustion. Workplace friendship minimises the positive effect of HPWSs on emotional exhaustion and attenuates the indirect effect of HPWSs on employee performance via emotional exhaustion. This study challenges the prevailing idea that HPWSs can always improve employee performance. It informs HRD researchers and practitioners to dialectically assess the impact of HPWSs and include workplace friendship as an intervention measure to reduce the detrimental outcomes of HPWSs and better promote employee development.

Conceptual model of predicting employee performance through the mediating role of employee engagement and empowerment

PurposeConsidering the importance of employee performance in the changes in state higher education institutions, this study aims to conceptualize the mediating role of employee engagement and empowerment in predicting employee performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a quantitative survey method to collect data from staff members employed in higher education institutions and applies a partial least squares structural equation modeling to analyze the data.

The volatility of an organization are inseparable from the role of organizational members in realizing organizational goals. Good employee performance will affect the growth and development of an organization. The study critically reviews various aspects that effectively predict employee performance in the organization.

Employee Performance in Terms of Organizational Commitment and Work Motivation: The Mediating Role of Organization Citizenship Behaviors

By using organizational citizenship behavior as a mediation, this study tries to show empirically how employee performance is influenced by organizational commitment and job motivation. Up to 84 workers from Probolinggo City's Food Security, Agriculture, and Fisheries Office served as the study's subjects. Because there were less than 100 people in each sample, the census approach was used for all of them. While data analysis employs path analysis, the data employed are primary data derived from the responses to questionnaires sent to respondents. The findings indicated that employee performance is influenced by organizational commitment and job motivation. Additionally, it was discovered that job motivation and organizational commitment both influence organizational citizenship behavior. Additionally, research has shown that organizational citizenship behavior influences employee performance while also acting as a buffer between organizational commitment and job motivation, and employee performance. The findings of this study suggest that organizational citizenship behavior may be utilized to predict employee performance using independent factors such as organizational commitment and job motivation.

Effect of Transactional Rewards on Employee Performance at Teachers Service Commission, Kenya

Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Kenya, has been implementing performance management besides transactional rewards since 2005 to enhance quality and cost-effective services. Performance management ensures performance quality improvement, while transactional rewards improve the efforts and productivity of employees. However, efficiency and quality of services are low compared to other state corporations, as evidenced by approximately 5000 teachers who visit its head office per month to solve their work-related problems. Literature on employee performance enhancement has focused on total rewards without disaggregating the same to give specific policy recommendations on transactional rewards. This study thus sought to establish the effect of transactional rewards on employee performance at TSC, Kenya. It was anchored on the Expectancy theory and adopted a correlational research design. The study population was 1200 employees, out of which a sample size of 291 was taken. Individual respondents were drawn through the Cluster sampling technique. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires. Pearson correlation was used to obtain an association between the study variables.In contrast, multiple regressions were used to establish the magnitude and direction of the effect of transactional rewards on employee performance. The study revealed that transactional rewards (B=0.343, p=0.000) significantly and positively predicted employee performance. Thus, TSC Kenya should effect more of them to enhance employee performance. This finding adds value to the existing knowledge of employee performance enhancement strategies and human resource management policy formulations by the TSC.

Horizontal pay dispersion as social context for predicting employee performance outcomes associated with diagnostic‐ versus criterion‐referenced performance feedback

AbstractDespite its recognised centrality as an organisational tool, there are decades of mixed findings relating to the employee performance benefits associated with different forms of performance feedback. The ambiguity present in the literature has been attributed to multiple factors, including feedback purpose and the context within which feedback occurs. Integrating these broad themes, we develop a model expanding the breadth of relevant social context variables to include horizontal pay dispersion. Building from tournament theory, in a field experiment of 267 employees across 22 units, we find improved performance from diagnostic feedback delivered under increasing pay dispersion; however, substantively different patterns emerge for criterion‐referenced feedback. The current findings have implications for both performance feedback research and tournament theory.
