Abstract

Performance appraisals are important for effective evaluation and management of personnel. This research investigates the Electricity Authority of Cyprus’ employees’ perceptions of performance appraisal. Data were collected from 161 employees of the Organization, using an online semi-structured questionnaire, and analyzed using SPSS; the qualitative data were analyzed manually. The results of the study highlighted respondents’ perceptions with regard to the Organization’s performance management practices, which have a created a culture of mistrust towards the performance management system in use. The Organization’s present performance appraisal system seems to posit more shortcomings than strengths and it doesn’t seem to be integrated or linked with the organizational goals and missions of the Authority’s. The research has delivered some information on what needs to be changed in order to improve the current system. The findings have serious managerial implications for redesigning the performance appraisal system so as to be more effective, more credible and more transparent. These implications include actions towards introducing new methods, training the appraisers, increasing motivation and provision of resources for effective performance appraisal.

Abstract

In Cyprus, disabled people face many difficulties in accessing employment, as more than 10,000 people with appropriate qualifications remain unemployed. According to worldwide estimates, disabled people receive lower wages compared to individuals without disabilities due to being either unemployed or underemployed more frequently. Using other countries with similar cultural and legal environments, this study examined the correlation between disabled people's wage levels and their disability types and educational levels. In order to gather primary data used for this correlational and regression study, 117 online questionnaire responses were collected from 6,000 registered members with physical disabilities in related organizations in Cyprus. The study examined the effect of education and disability type, on wages for disabled individuals in Cyprus using a cross-sectional survey utilizing judgment sampling (purposive sampling), in order to identify possible relationships between them, and hence see if education and disability cause a lower wage. According to the results, the two variables are not significantly associated with disability wages in Cyprus. These coefficients differ, however, between the variables 'education' and 'type of disability,' showing that in Cyprus education predicts the wage levels for disabled workers, as it is for other groups.
