The performance appraisal is a useful tool to help employees make self-criticism in order to do a more satisfactory job in the future, and his work of appraising staff’s performance is to be premised on the basis of “getting problems solved and achieving the best possible result.” The manager first of all must set up reasonable criteria for assessment, and “reasonable” does not absolutely mean right, but refers how to get problems solved so as to arrive at a perfect state in management. To fulfill this purpose, several concrete and tangible suggestions raised by Prof. Zeng are made a detailed discussion and analysis in this paper.
