Performance Analysis Quadrant

To help you to manage the performers, the Performance Analysis Quadrant is a useful tool as it helps with pin-pointing deficiencies. By asking two questions, "Does the employee have adequate job knowledge?" and "Does the employee have the proper attitude (desire) to perform the job?" and then assigning a numerical rating between 1 and 10 for each answer, places the employee in 1 of 4 possible performance quadrants:

A - Motivation: If the employee has sufficient job knowledge but has an improper attitude, this may be classed as motivational problem. The consequences (rewards) of the person's behavior will have to be adjusted. This is not always bad...the employee just might not realize the consequence of his or her actions.
B - Resource / Process / Environment: If the employee has both job knowledge and a favorable attitude, but performance is unsatisfactory, then the problem may be out of control of the employee. i.e. lack of resources or time, task needs process improvement, the work station is not ergonomically designed, etc.
C - Selection: If the employee lacks both job knowledge and a favorable attitude, that person may be improperly placed in the position. This may imply a problem with employee selection or promotion, and suggest that a transfer or discharge be considered.
D - Training: If the employee desires to perform, but lacks the requisite job knowledge or skills, then additional training or development may be the answer.
