Defining Performance and Selecting a Measurement Approach

    Instructions It is essential that performance initiatives are measured in order to determine their success or failure. Outline two performance metrics that an HR manager might use to measure or monitor a performance management initiative. Managers must carefully balance how to (1) correct negative performance behaviors and (2) reinforce positive performance behaviors. In your experience, what are the most effective approaches and how important is the situation/context? Consider, also, how a leader might provide positive reinforcement to a staff member who received a critically low-performance measurement score. Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines. Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion.
