Abstract:

In any organization, human resources stand as vital assets for success; these are to be highly valued in order to achieve the competitive edge. Therefore, human capital policies and practices should be tied to organizational goals. The impact of practices of HRM can be the channel that fuels sustained competitive advantage; therefore, enhancement of organizational performance should be the focus for an organization. Performance management comprises setting expectations, assessing behaviors and results of the employee, giving coaching and feedback, and performance evaluation over time to use in decision making. The aim is to line up individual efforts to achieve organizational goals. To this end, this study attempts to examine result-based management which is synonymous with performance management system, and how it drives employees’ productivity. Utilising the purposive sampling technique, staff within an educational institution were selected in Lagos. It was revealed that setting targets and performance standards would engender the desired productivity in employees. The study therefore recommends a comprehensive performance management system which should also be automated in order to capture key performance indicators of employees.
