Part 1: 1. What is performance management? What is the difference between performance management and performance appraisal?

Performance management is the process to ensure that the efforts and activities of employees are on the same path or direction of the organizational goals; to provide constructive feedback to staff; to provide the administrative department with useful information for making decision about staff.

Differences between performance management and performance appraisal are : 
1. Performance appraisal can be considered one step that focuses on the employee's past performance while performance management is an on going process that evaluates day to day performance.

2. Performance appraisal sets a high performance measurement to show employees what is expected and encourage them to meet these expectations whereas the methods used in performance management are more flexible than those used in performance appraisal, since performance management bases itself on daily performance. 

3. Performance management concentrates on immediate and most relevant concerns whereas performance appraisal forces looking into the past, which in many causes would remain irrelevant .
