Particularities of Professional Performance Assessment in the Public Administration of Romania

Open access
Performance evaluation is an important activity of human resources management with which we determine the degree to which employees of an organization fulfill their duties or responsibilities, by assessing their behavior, level of training and performance. For this reason the employee performance appraisal is the basis of the rewards system of motivation, to improve performance and identify strengths and weaknesses of the employee.
Professional performance evaluation study in Cluj-Napoca City Hall was based on a survey among executive public officials, applying a questionnaire to provide a large amount of information and a great power of generalization. Through the study we proposed three hypotheses of work with reference to some changes from the last performance appraisal, the correlation between the grade obtained and the degree of fulfillment of work tasks, determining the type of interview style as a stage of the assessment process. The results of the study confirm the first two hypotheses and refute the third hypothesis, confirming that the style used mainly in the performance evaluation process is "Share", style through which the manager involves the subordinate in solving problems and, consequently in yielding the best results.
