...Introduction The independent evaluation unit of United Nations Development Program (UNDP) conducts county evaluations called Assessment of Development Results (ADRs). This evaluation aims to demonstrate UNDP’s contribution to development results at country level, as well as the effectiveness of UNDP’s strategy in coordinating national effort for achieving development results. Assessment of development results is carried out within general provisions of UNDP Evaluation Policy and conducted jointly with the national government due to principle of national ownership. The main goals of ADR’s are to provide support to UNDP accountability and transparency to the all level of stakeholders and partners in the program country; to assure the quality of UNDP interventions at the country level; and contribute to learning at corporate, regional and country level. In geographical terms, the assessment covers programs and interventions that had impact on the entire national territory or in parts of the territory, such as states or groups of states, and municipalities. The ADR’s is not a sum of project evaluations, but macro-analysis of the relationship between the inputs, the products, and especially the outcomes. The projects and programs targeted at a particular outcome are analyzed in an integrated manner. This study compares four different assessments of development results at country level, which evaluate the UNDP’s strategy, performance and its contribution to development results...

...EMPLOYEE EVALUATION The company given in the example uses an annual rating scale evaluation method that appears to be primarily based on interpersonal relationships with co-workers as well as overall personality and attitude. There are 3 knows evaluation categories on the company’s current evaluation form: friendliness, neatness, and attitude. Friendliness This evaluation criteria focuses on the interpersonal relationships of the employee as he relates to his fellow co-workers including peers and supervisor(s). However, because of the employee’s personality differences, the employee receives a lower rating. The ability to have an accord with fellow co-workers is an important part of an employee review, especially if his ability to work with others negatively affects his or their output. However, interpersonal relationships in general should not be the primary focus of the review. The ability or desire of the employee to interact with other employees is not a valid representation of his work ethic or work product and is not indicative of the employee’s ability to help the company accomplish its ultimate mission and goals. Neatness The second item on the manager’s evaluation form is “Neatness.” The manager concludes that the employee’s neatness with relationship to his office space is only slightly better than a disaster area so, again, he gives the employee a low score. However, no mention is made of the employee’s work product. The manager needs...

...HRD 313: Program and Organizational Evaluation Program Evaluation Plan Paper RTF Employee Morale March 8, 2011 Written By: Michelle Mogg Esther Kim Biyu Zhu Mohammed Benjebreen Ariel Van Der Bogart II. Design and Sampling We will be using the responsive evaluation model as this approach hones in on the stakeholders’ key reactions and responses to the program that is being evaluated. A responsive evaluation is ideal for this evaluation because since it allows us to utilize both quantitative and qualitative collection methods. Through this evaluation method, we can take into consideration the stakeholders’ suggestions and determine if there are any changes that can, should and will be implemented. In conducting a responsive evaluation, the evaluator must talk with the participants involved, identify the program’s issues, and then collect the data while conceptualizing the participants concerns. The main question we should ask when using this approach is, “What does the program look like to different people?” The answers we will receive will vary, but this is expected because it will give sufficient feedback when evaluating the data. This approach fits well with our design because we are asking the employees to provide us with their issues and concerns as to why they lack morale and job satisfaction. Their feedback can then help us determine if there are any common correlations and themes. In addition, asking employees to provide their insights and letting them...

...Unit 3 Assignment: Training Evaluation Marchel Jackson GM542-02N Training and Development 7/09/2014 Professor Prof. Kevin Nash INTRODUCTION In today’s society, the majority of successful organizations utilize some sort of training for new hires. Human resources and all administrative team members ensure new hires have all tools necessary to get the job done along with ensuring they know exactly how to complete the tasks being asked. Most training programs consists of one trainer teaching new hires how to successfully complete their duties and responsibilities. Although training programs are mandatory and necessary, it is also important to ensure the training being given is well beneficial, covers all bases for the duties being asked of the corporation, and entails relevant information tied to the job while excluded all unnecessary information for the new hires. Training programs are at an all time high in this day and age due to the constant changes of technology and increase in logical ways to make all aspects of organizations much more straight lined. Organizations make it known to new hires the importance of being actively engaged in the information being given so they will know exactly what to do once they are released to perform their duties and responsibilities. Training programs are a very important piece that organizations consider when hiring new employees, however, most organizations do not consider giving evaluations to their new hires at the end of the program...

...In the given situation, the engineer is evaluated on three standards: friendliness, neatness and attitude. All these values have been taken into consideration because the engineer who is under observation will eventually be rated either medium or low. This is because he is distant with other co-workers and hence considered less friendly. Also, his desk is mostly stacked with different office stationary thus proving to be less neat. Moreover, he would be rated low on his attitude as well, as he doesn’t give utter consideration to how he should behave with his peers. There are several commonly-used sets of criteria used while evaluating employees. Addressing three of them, we have: • Productivity of the employee: it relates to how much input the employee gives in the form of time and effort to bring about positive results for the welfare of the company. • Teamwork: it relates to how the employee works in teams and his level of compatibility with other team members in working toward one goal of the organization. • Employee loyalty: it relates to how committed the employee is to the success of the company and whether he plans to remain with the company and keep working with utmost dedication. All three sets of criteria are very important while evaluating an employee. However, comparing the relative value of the three, the most important one is the loyalty of the employee because if the employee is not dedicated towards the company, then his productivity will decrease and he...

...Self-Evaluation: Employees are sometimes asked to evaluate themselves. It seems logical that individuals would be the best judges of their own performance, particularly if supervisors cannot observe them on a regular basis. If employees are asked to evaluate themselves, they may respond by becoming more motivated and involved in the evaluation process. Self-ratings tend to show more leniency error than supervisor ratings, although halo errors are lower.32 Self-evaluation have become popular as a part of the management by objective process, when the superior and the subordinate jointly evaluate goal attainment. Self-evaluation seems most appropriate when it is used as an employee development tool rather than to make administrative decisions.32 It may also serve as an important input into a supervisory appraisal. An employee’s self-appraisal may provide important of which the superior was not aware. The supervisor can then factor this information into his performance ratings of the employee Peer Evaluation: Peer or co-worker evaluations are more stable over time, are better able to distinguish effort from performance, and focus more on task-relevant abilities. One study has concluded that peer ratings may be the most accurate evaluations of employee performance.32 Peer evaluations can be particularly useful when supervisors do not have the opportunity to observe an individual’s performance, but fellow employees do. Peers sometimes resist evaluating one another. An individual...

...Scenario Evaluation Plan Christina Bowers HSM/270 April 23, 2015 Kristen Peak The Madison Children’s Hospital mission is to the worldwide leader in improving children’s health by providing the highest quality of health care. To do this they need to be the leading source of research and discovery, educate the next generation of leaders in child health, and enhance the health and well-being of children and families in our local community (Appendix B). With this goal I have chosen the Project-Wide Evaluation Plan. The Project-Wide Evaluation Plan has what the Madison Children’s Hospital needs. A evaluation question, source of information, timeline, method and responsible person (Yuen/Terao, 2003, p.53).The Madison Children’s Hospital goal is to make the children better and do research to figure out how to control the chronic illness. Researchers suspect the unmanaged status of the children’s chronic illnesses is strongly related to this concern. The hospital and schools are very interested in addressing this concern (Appendix B). Biobehavioral studies of the children in the context of family and family-community dynamics are encouraged. The FOA is for ages 8-21, they are put into groups of developmental stages and cognitive disabilities (Appendix B). The children is what matters the most, and finding a cure for their chronic illnesses. Performance measurement is the ongoing monitoring and reporting of program accomplishments and progress toward pre-established goals...

...continuing education have use the terms assessment and evaluation interchangeably”; however, assessment and evaluation are two separate concepts. According to Angelo, Cross-, and Moran assessment within the classroom, refers specifically to the collection of information to measure learning gains, which indicate learners’ individual levels of achievement; whereas; Queeney referred to assessment from a programmatic perspective as more comprehensive measurement of achievement of the program itself. Assessment refers to the collection of information, and it measures levels of achievement without comparisons to a set of standards, however, I feel assessment is a process used to improve a result. Some of the functions of assessment used in the assessment process is screening, phase like, and continually measure student levels of skill or knowledge. The screening process helps determine what area the learner is suited for and will help determine the learner’s weakness (if they need other assistance to help improve where they are). Baselines in the function process of the assessment are for evaluating and designing learning interventions, teaching method, program standards and policies, furthermore, assessment have various methodologies to select the method that would be most appropriate for their need. Although there are several definitions of evaluation, Stufflebeam and Shinkfield gives an extended definition of evaluation, it is the systematic assessment of an object’s merit,...
