Critical Elements of the Constructive Performance Feedback: An Integrated Model

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of writing this paper is to give an integrated framework in the form of a model for better understanding of the elements of performance feedback which are reinforcing.

Design/Methodology: A synthesis of existing literature on performance feedback in the form of research papers, consultations and training reports etc. is used to identify critical elements of reinforcing feedback and then integration of all these elements is done after categorizing these elements/variables.

Findings: Findings are presented in the form of model i.e. theoretical framework is developed.

Research Implications: The result of this article can be used to guide an ongoing research in the area of effective performance appraisals in general and performance feedback in specific.

Originality/Value: The research paper tries to increase the conceptual understanding regarding what an effective performance feedback mechanism of organization should consist of.
