description

Using survey data from a large international oil company, this econometric study explores the perceptions ofperformance appraisal and career opportunities on one hand, and how this is dependent on variation in propertiesand characteristics of the local working environment on the other hand. Perceptions indicate that performanceand payoff are better balanced among women than among men. Moreover, the connection between perceivedachievement and appreciation is strengthened by time of service for leaders, but not for employees innon-managerial positions. Finally, perceptions of performance appraisal and career opportunities depend oncharacteristics of the local work environment, with positive influence from key phenomena like changecapability, competency focus, trust and identity.
