Today, organizations need to have a clear understanding of where their organization is and where it needs to be in the future to secure longevity and financial success (Moore, Ellsworth, & Kaufman, 2011).

A performance management system should consist of planning, monitoring, reviewing and evaluating (Hrcouncil.ca, 2015). During the planning phase management should identify, clarify and agree upon expectations of the employee. Also, in this phase management needs to determine how results will be measured, agree on the monitoring process and document the plan for performance management.

The six components of the performance management process are prerequisites, performance planning, performance execution, performance assessment, performance review, and performance renewal and recontracting (Aguinis, 2013, p. 38).

As Hutchinson(2013) summed up, combined with Den Harton’s theory(2004), it is a continuous process which links individual and team objectives with organizational goals by measure and improve employee’s skill and performance. According to Armstrong (2012), human resource management aims at making sure the organization has the most talented, skilled and engaged people in order to attain its goals.
