| dc.description.abstract | This research report aimed to identify the perceived barriers to the effective implementation of performance management systems in South African organisations. A themed content analysis was conducted on the responses and information (interview transcripts) gathered from 15 semi-structured interviews involving 15 respondents that hold the position of human resources (HR) manager or line manager of their respective organisations. The themes and common factors identified across all respondents led to a richer understanding of the issues, resulting in a prioritised list of principle barriers that HR managers and line managers believe are responsible for the effective implementation of performance management systems in South African organisations. The research findings indicate that “lack of leadership / executive support” is the most important barrier that affects the effective implementation of performance management systems in South African organisations. “Inaccurate measures” and “lack of integration” are the second and third most important barriers respectively. The other five barriers are discussed in the study. The key message from this research study is that HR managers and line managers need to increase their efforts in minimising the barriers that affect the effective implementation of performance management systems, in order to increase and enhance the efforts of South African organisations to meet their strategic objectives. | en_ZA |
