Developing successful performance appraisals through choosing appropriate words to effectively describe work.
For the health care manager, correct words are essential to describe work and can determine if performance appraisals are high quality, efficient, effective, objective, and fair. Work descriptors were assessed from performance appraisal forms, textbooks, and current literature with word lists presented, assessed, and reviewed. It was found that work descriptors are not always carefully selected and that health care managers should wisely select appropriate words to describe work in performance appraisals.
