Impact of Performance Management Practices on Employee’s Performance: A Study of GMVN Uttarakhand

This study aimed to explore the impact of performance management strategies on the employees' performance within the governmental entity "Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam" in Uttarakhand. Utilizing a structured questionnaire adapted from Lusthaus' (2002) influential organizational assessment study, the research involved a sample of 180 participants. Data analysis was conducted using Smart-PLS, offering a comprehensive examination of the correlation between performance management strategies and employee performance in the organization. The findings of this study indicated a significant positive correlation between organizational performance and the implementation of performance management practices. Notably, it was observed that government organizations lag behind in effectively implementing performance management practices, resulting in the absence of a robust performance management system. It's essential to note that the study's scope was limited to the Garhwal region and its unit GMVN. Future research endeavors could extend their focus to the Kumaon region, with KMVN as a potential research area. The study strongly recommends that government organizations establish and consistently practice an effective management system. Such a system serves as a motivational strategy, fostering improved employee performance in the present and future. The societal significance of this work lies in its emphasis on crucial factors influencing organizational performance, such as motivation, organizational capacity, and socio-technical and cultural aspects.
