Using the repertory grid in performance appraisal
Performance appraisal is a procedure used to assess an employee’s performance strengths and weaknesses, motivate  and encourage, agree personal working objectives, identify individual training  needs, and often, determine eligibility for enhanced remuneration. Clearly, none of these outcomes is likely to be successfully achieved if the employee’s job description  and associated performance criteria are so vague and woolly as to preclude accurate assessment. Here, accuracy is dependent on
(a) assessment of the performance characteristics that are known to be related to effectiveness
(b) precision in behavioural description of those characteristics, and on
(c) the availability of clear rating scale guidelines so that the full width of the rating scale can be utilized.

Rating instruments developed from repertory grid-based job analyses are particularly helpful in this respect.
