Section 1: Introduction

Employee evaluation systems are a key factor in producing good results on any company's performance. This theme is further discussed in the article “Impact of employee participation in pay plan development” by Jenkins, G.D., Jr. and E.E. Lawler. The articles establish that employee evaluation system is the first part of the performance contract between the employee and the employer that develops over time. Sitting down with each staff member and inquire about their expectations and the process by agreeing to buy their viewpoints, are very beneficial steps for both parties. Exactly what they need to provide employees, employers and the employees are responsible for knowing, they can save the progress of the search results in charts or other tabulations so as to improvise future policies (Jenkins, Lawler, 2009, pp. 111-128).

The article “Impact of Management by Objectives (MBO) on organizational productivity” by Rodgers, R. and J. E. Hunter, further elaborates that increased employee satisfaction and commitment to the business may sound obvious to people management and development, but these are the only solutions to a lack of motivation and engagement of the employees. The article demonstrates the crucial nature of Management by Objectives as a response to nay problem of the organizations. Goal setting, participation in decision making, and objective feedback has each been shown to increase productivity. As a combination of these 3 processes, management by objectives (MBO) also should increase productivity (Rodgers, Hunter, 2008, pp. 336). Employee workload and future performance and development plans of many companies and employees do not include high employee turnover and difficulty in maintaining the quality, experienced staff is suffering. Decisions in the company must quickly be made accessible to a company's profitability and to ensure efficiency. Responsiveness and the right information base are the key success factors. A decision is often only as good as the underlying information. The challenge now lies in a wealth of information to identify the key figures, will allow the business processes for efficiency and sustainability (Rodgers, Hunter, 2008, pp. 336).

A related research is provided in the article “Effects of task characteristics on group products”, written by Hackman, which focuses primarily on the study of group development and model complexity of tasks takes place in organizations. The groups in organizational contexts have become relevant since the mid-twentieth century, some authors studied the nature, organization and management, others have been interested in the techniques used while others have worried about his training, what are the processes and how they work and others (Hackman, 1968, pp. 162-187). Based on the approaches to develop a theoretical model of group development level, and the model complexity task, the purpose of this article focused on the analysis of various models in the face group three dimensions: the first has its focus on group development level, the second in the complexity of the task, and the third group effectiveness advocated Hackman (2009).
