ADVANTAGES OF %OR& SAMPLING
7/27/2019 HRM Notes1y626i
27/61
=efore we set out to analyse the distinctions between wor# sampling and time studies, let us understand
that the two are as different as chal# and cheese. $he purpose of each is different and one can not besubstituted by the other in most cases. ;hile wor# sampling is a broad analysis of trend, time study is
microanalysis of the ob and procedure. $ime study is conducted with a view to improve the
processEmethod where as wor# sampling is done to improve "uantitative utilisation of resources.
;or# sampling is relatively cheaper because it uses random samples instead of continuous
observations. Many operators or machines can be studied by a single observer
;or# sampling normally spans over several days or wee#s, thus minimizing the effects of sudden
variations on a particular day.
;or# Sampling tends to minimize operator behaviour modification during observation >operator,
deliberately or otherwise, under or over performing while under observation?.
;or# Sampling, in general, does not re"uire a trained time@study analyst to ta#e the observations.
/lso, stopwatches or other timing devices are not re"uired. Many studies ma#e use of off@shift
technicians or operators to ta#e the observations.
%OR& SAMPLING METHODOLOG!
/n analyst R/F03MAP observes an activity >e"uipment, operating room, production line? and notes theparticular states of the activity at each observation.
$he ratio of the number of observations of a given state of the activity to the total number of observationsta#en will approximate the percentage of time that the activity is in that given state.
Randomness of observations is very critical for a wor# sampling study. $he observations should vary
over the time of the day, days of the wee# and if possible, months to get he correct trend.

TECHNIUES : METHODS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS
Fumerous methods have been devised to measure the "uantity and "uality of performance appraisals.7ach of the methods is effective for a particular class of employees in certain types of organization only.
=roadly all methods of appraisals can be divided into two different categories.
-ast 3riented Methods +uture 3riented Methods
PAST ORIENTED METHODS&. R-,? S86+ $his is simplest and most popular method. Rating scales consist of grading an
employee)s past performance on a scale of say & @&9. 7ach of the selected performance attribute is
numerically mar#ed and then totalled to arrive at the final figure. /dvantages % /daptability, easy to use,low cost, every type of ob can be evaluated, large number of employees covered, no formal training
re"uired. 0isadvantages % Rater)s biases.
'. C86-+ Bnder this method, chec#list of Statements of $raits! of employee in the form of Pes or
Fo based "uestions is prepared. Here, the rater only does the reporting or chec#ing and HR departmentdoes the actual evaluation. /dvantages % economy, ease of administration, limited training re"uired,standardization. 0isadvantages % Rater)s biases, use of improper weights by HR 0eptt, does not allow
rater to give relative ratings.
(. F7 D6-;-7, M-7+ 3ne of the problems faced in large organizations is relativeassessment tendencies of raters. Some are too lenient and others too severe. $his method overcomes that
problem.
7/27/2019 HRM Notes1y626i

2. F8 R= M-7+ $his method is useful only for senior positions in a large organisation
spread over cities and countries. /ppraisal is done by someone outside employees) own departmentusually from corporate or HR department. /dvantages % Bseful for managerial level promotions, when
comparable information is needed, on employees wor#ing at distant locations in different set of
conditions. 0isadvantages % 3utsider is generally not familiar with employees) wor# environment,
3bservation of actual behaviours not possible.
4. P7, T6-6 ' O;6=-7,6+ $his is based on the test of #nowledge or s#ills. $he testsmay be written or an actual presentation of s#ills. $ests must be reliable and validated to be useful.
/dvantage % $ests only measure potential and not attitude. /ctual performance is more a function ofattitude of person than potential. 0isadvantages % Some times costs of test development or administration
are high.
5. C7,,-8 R>7-6+ $hough popular with government departments, its application in industry is
not ruled out. Here the report is given in the form of /nnual :onfidentiality Report >/:R?. $he system is
highly secretive and confidential. +eedbac# to the assessee is given only in case of an adverse entry.
0isadvantage is that it is highly prone to biases and recency effect and ratings can be manipulated becausethe evaluations are lin#ed to future rewards li#e promotions, good postings, etc.
