  1 Genuine feedback would release resources to be usedelsewhere.

  2 Managers are expected to enable their staff to workeffectively.

  3 Experts are unlikely to facilitate a move to genuinefeedback.

  4 There are benefits when methods of evaluatingperformance have been negotiated.

  5 Appraisals tend to focus on the nature of the face-to-face relationship between employeesand their line managers.

  6 The idea that employees are responsible for what they do seems reasonable.

  7 Despite experts’ assertion, management structures prevent genuine feedback

  8 An increasing amount of effort is being dedicated to the appraisal process.

  A

  Performance appraisal is on the up and up. It used to represent the one time of year whengetting on with the work was put on hold while enormous quantities of management hours werespent in the earnest ritual of rating and ranking performance. Now the practice is even morefrequent. This of course makes it all the more important how appraisal is conducted. Humanresources professionals claim that managers should strive for objectivity and thus for feedbackrather than judgement. But the simple fact of the matter is that the nature of hierarchy distortsthe concept of feedback because performance measure are conceived hierarchically.Unfortunately, all too many workers suffer from the injustices that this generates.

  B

  The notion behind performance appraisal- that workers should be held accountable for theirperformance-is plausible. However, the evidence suggests that the premise is wrong. Contrary toassumptions appraisal is not an effective means of performance improvement- it is judgementimposed rather than feedback, a judgement imposed by the hierarchy. Useful feedback , on theother hand, would be information that told both the manager and worker how well the worksystem functioned, and suggested ways to make it better.

  C

  Within the production system at the car manufacturer Toyota, there is nothing that isrecognizable as performance appraisal. Every operation in the system has an associated measure.The measure has been worked out between the operators and their manager. In every case, themeasure is related to the purpose of the work. That measure is the basis of feedback to themanager and worker alike. Toyota’s basic idea is expressed in the axiom “bad news first” . Bothmanagers and workers are psychologically safe in the knowledge that it is the system- not theworker –that is the primary influence on performance. It is management’s responsibility to ensurethat the workers operate in a system that facilitates their performance.

  D

  In many companies , performance appraisal springs from misguided as assumptions. To judgeachievement, managers use date about each worker’s activity, not an evaluation of the process orsystem’s achievement of purpose. The result is that performance appraisal involves managers’judgement overruling their staff’s, ignoring the true influences on performance. Thus the appraisalexperience becomes a question of pleasing the boss, particularly in meetings, which ispsychologically unsafe and socially driven, determining who is “in” and who is “ out”.

  E

  When judgement is replaced by feedback in the true sense, organizations will have a lot moretime to devote to their customers and their business. No time will be wasted in appraisal . Thisrequires a fundamental shift in the way we think about the organization of performance appraisals,which almost certainly will not be forthcoming from the human resources profession

  參考答案及解析

  關(guān)于員工評(píng)估和反饋的文章。一個(gè)組織內(nèi)部的上下級(jí)溝通真的太重要了。

  第一題,說(shuō)真正的反饋可以釋放用在別處的資源。意思上真正的反饋可以讓人騰出精力。答案是E段的第一句:When judgement is replaced by feedback in the true sense, organizations will have a lot more time to devote to their customers and their business。這題的意思還算比較明顯,feedback in the true sense,就是genuine feedback,devote to their customers and the business,就是把資源釋放在別的地方。

  第二題,說(shuō)經(jīng)理們是被期望著使員工工作得更有效率。答案是C段的最后一句:It is management’s responsibility to ensure that the workers operate in a system that facilitates their performance.經(jīng)理們的責(zé)任,也就是managers are expected to,有利于他們的表現(xiàn),就是enable their staff to work effectively。

  第三題,說(shuō)專家不大可能有利于真正反饋的進(jìn)程。答案是E段的最后一句:which almost certainly will not be forthcoming from the human resources profession。人力資源專家,就是experts。需要理解下這里的forthcoming的含義:willing to divulge information. (人)愿意透露消息的。專家們不愿意透露消息,也就是不能指望專家來(lái)facilitate。

  第四題,說(shuō)商討評(píng)估表現(xiàn)的方法是有利的。答案是在C段,有點(diǎn)分散。前面說(shuō)The measure has been worked out between the operators and their manager。這個(gè)措施是在操作者和經(jīng)理們之間擬定的。between the operators and managers,也就是評(píng)估表現(xiàn)的方法是被商討了的。后面介紹的情況都是這個(gè)measure有多么的好:is the basis of feedback。綜合起來(lái),就是選項(xiàng)說(shuō)的,商討是有好處的。

  第五題,說(shuō)評(píng)估傾向聚焦于員工和他們直屬經(jīng)理們之間面對(duì)面關(guān)系的性質(zhì)。這個(gè)選項(xiàng)可能會(huì)弄的人一頭霧水,首先得弄明白這里的面對(duì)面關(guān)系指的是什么。員工和直屬經(jīng)理的關(guān)系,就是上下級(jí)的關(guān)系,過(guò)分看重這個(gè)關(guān)系,那么在評(píng)估過(guò)程中就會(huì)有顧慮,誰(shuí)還敢揭自己上司的短?所以這個(gè)句子的意思是說(shuō)評(píng)估過(guò)程中有顧忌,無(wú)人敢說(shuō)真話。答案是D段的這么一句:Thus the appraisal experience becomes a question of pleasing the boss。評(píng)估過(guò)程成了討好自己的老板,說(shuō)的就是這個(gè)意思。

  第六題,說(shuō)員工對(duì)他們所作負(fù)責(zé)的想法聽(tīng)起來(lái)很合理。答案是B段的第一句:The notion behind performance appraisal- that workers should be held accountable for their performance-is plausible。這里的accountable就是負(fù)有責(zé)任。Plausible是貌似真實(shí)的,也就是seems reasonable。

  第七題,說(shuō)雖然有專家們的主張,管理層的結(jié)構(gòu)阻止了真正的反饋。答案是A段的這么一句:the simple fact of the matter is that the nature of hierarchy distorts the concept of feedback。管理層的機(jī)構(gòu),就是這句里提到的the nature of hierarchy,等級(jí)制的性質(zhì)。這個(gè)單詞在BEC閱讀里常出現(xiàn)。distort,扭曲,就是選項(xiàng)里的prevent。

  第八題,說(shuō)在評(píng)估過(guò)程中投入了更多的努力。答案是A段的這么一句,有點(diǎn)隱晦:Now the practice is even more frequent. This of course makes it all the more important how appraisal is conducted.這個(gè)句子是緊跟上文的,the practice指的就是appraisal。評(píng)估的更頻繁,評(píng)估是怎么進(jìn)行的顯得更加重要。認(rèn)為更加重要了(makes it all the more important),就會(huì)投入更多努力了。綜合起來(lái),這些的意思就是評(píng)估過(guò)程投入了更多的努力。不太容易看出來(lái)。
