Abstract

The Performance Management System (PMS) serves as a comprehensive and systematic approach aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of individuals, teams, and organizations as a whole. It functions as a mechanism for evaluating and gauging employee performance. This research aims to evaluate how the performance management system impacts the performance of academic professionals in higher education institutions located in the Delhi/NCR region. Drawing from previous literature, several significant factors of PMS have been identified, including transparent and equitable approaches, training and development opportunities, rewards, succession planning, continuous evaluation processes, satisfaction levels, and motivation factors. To investigate these relationships empirically, a questionnaire-based research design was employed. A total of 520 responses were collected and subsequently analysed using SEM AMOS and SPSS software. The findings revealed that PMS exhibits a significant association with the performance of academicians. Specifically, factors such as transparent and equitable approaches, training and development initiatives, rewards systems, succession planning strategies, continuous evaluation mechanisms, and motivation elements displayed a significant positive correlation with academicians’ performance. Conversely, satisfaction levels demonstrated a significant negative correlation with faculty performance in higher education institutions (HEIs). This research holds potential benefits for both research scholars and human resource managers interested in exploring the impact of performance assessment on employee productivity. This study provides valuable insights into improving organizational effectiveness and employee performance in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) by elucidating the complex interactions between PMS factors and faculty performance.
