Performance Appraisal: a Policy Implementation Analysis

Abstract

This article describes five conditions which are conducive to effective implementation of public policies. These conditions are used as a policy analysis model to examine the new performance appraisal program under the Civil Service Reform Act. The analysis concludes that successful im plementation is guardedly possible if certain actions are taken by policy administrators, and favorable rulings emerge from third-party institutions such as the Federal Labor Relations Authority, Merit Systems Protection Board, General Accounting Office, and the courts. Among the recommended actions are increased use of nonmonetary incentives, development of legislative support and organized program constituents, melding of performance appraisal into the regular management processes, and a vigorous program of research and evaluation.
