Performance Management: Literature Review on Employee Satisfaction

This literature review summarizes two articles related to performance management. The first article by Decramer, Smolders, and Vanderstraeten (2013) investigates employee satisfaction with performance management systems in higher education, using quantitative analysis of survey data to highlight the importance of internal consistency in management practices. The second article by O'Connell and O'Sullivan (2014) explores the influence of lead indicators on the use of non-financial measures in strategic performance management, particularly concerning CEO compensation schemes, drawing on agency theory and advocating for comprehensive employee engagement approaches. Both articles contribute to understanding factors influencing employee performance and suggest avenues for future research in workforce management.
