摘要

績效評核在人力資源管理中扮演著重要角色。一方面，對企業組織而言，績效評核是組織內部的控制機制，其評核資料將是決定薪資獎懲、教育訓練、職務調整、與生涯規劃等管理措施的基礎，並藉由這些措施來促使員工調整行為，使其期向組織目標邁進。另一方面，對員工個人而言，依據績效評核結果所做成的各項人事決策，往往都與員工切身的權益有關，故員工本身將會注意評核過程中的每一環節，並對此一評核系統抱持著高度的關切與期望。然而，由於績效評核系統對於組織與個人所具有的意義並不盡相同，所以實務上，全業採行的績效評核系統與員工期望之間，常會有相當程度的差異存在，導致績效評核系統在推行時，會遭到員工的質疑與抗拒，並使系統效益受到影響。有鑑於此，本研究嘗試採取「期望／實際」差距分析模式，探討實際系統與期望系統之間的可能差距，並分析此差距對於績效評核系統效益之影響。
為有效探討此一課題，本研究共蒐集了41家企業總計369份的有效問卷，以便進行實證分析。綜合各項統計資料，本研究歸納出下列四項重要的研究發現：
(1)實際系統與員工期望之間，具有相當顯著的差距存在。無論是在績效評核的評核目的、評核人員、重視指標、評核工具、評核時機、與評核回饋等層面，實際與期望之間都有相當多的項目，達到顯著差異水準。
(2)分析顯示：員工期望績效評核系統能更重視「人員發展」上的目的、增加自我評核與同僚評核等的比例、強調「質化」與「過程」指標、並應「事前告知」績效評核的內容與標準、放寬評分等級的「比例限制」、縮短評核期間的間隔、以及增闢「回饋面談」與「申訴管道」等。
(3)當實際系統與期望系統之間的差距愈大或愈不一致時，績效評核系統效益也將愈低。無論是在績效評核的評核目的、評核人員、重視指標、評核工具、評核時機、與評核回饋等層面，都有許多項目達到顯著水準。
(4)分析顯示：實際與期望之差距，對於公平性、接受度、與滿意度等效益的關聯性較強；對於工作投入、組織承諾、與離職率箏效益的關聯性較低。尤其在離職率方面，有部份項目甚至出現與預期相反的結果，顯示績效評核與離職率之間的關聯性尚值得進一步探討。

Performance appraisal plays an important role in human resource management. On the one hand, performance appraisal is a critical internal control mechanism in an organization. On the another hand, the various personnel decisions made in accordance with performance appraisal are concern to the privileges of the employees. However, there frequently exist some obvious discrepancies between the expectation and the reality on performance appraisal systems. This study attempts to adopt an empirical model that examines the discrepancies and then to analyze the essence and effects of performance appraisal systems. In hopes of effectively examining this subject, a total of 369 questionnaires were collected from 41 large enterprises. This study concludes the four important results:
(1) There are significant discrepancies between the expectation and the reality, including the purposes, raters, criterions, methods, timing, and feedback of the performance appraisal systems.
(2) The employees hope that performance appraisal systems could: pay more attention on the developmental purpose, increase the ratios of self-appraisal and peer-appraisal, emphasize the qualitative and process criterions, inform the content and criterions, release the limitation about the ranking grades, shorten the appraisal intervals, enhance the feedback and the communication channel.
(3) There are significant correlations between the discrepancies and the effectiveness. The more obvious discrepancies is measured, the lower the effectiveness of the performance appraisal.
(4) The effects of discrepancies on the fairness, acceptability, and satisfaction are relative stronger. The effects of discrepancies on the job involvement, organizational commitment, and turnover rates are relative weaker.
