Different cultural perspectives of a region can impact sever

Different cultural perspectives of a region can impact several aspects of a company’s global business operations. In considering Human Resources Management, culture does not have any impact on performance appraisal.

Solution

Culture has very little influence over performance appraisal parameter of human resource management. But we cannot say that it doesn\'t have influence at all. Culture strongly influences various other aspects of human resource management. For example, consider rewards and recognitions. This is a category similar to performance appraisal. In collectivistic cultures such as Japan, employees prefer to be recognised in groups i.e., as a team. Team awards drive motivation of employees. Individual awards make them feel alienated from the group. Whereas in individualistic cultures such as USA, people give more importance to individual awards. Employee of the month , Superstart award, etc. are the motivators.

Culture definitely has an influence on performance appraisal. The procedures used for performance appraisal depend on the culture. Some prefer monetary benefits where as some prefer other benfits too.
