Define performance and explain how the systems effect affects performance.

What will be an ideal response?


Performance is the extent to which expectations or objectives have been met. Performance is a relative term. Performance levels are more meaningful when compared to past performance or the performance of others within and/or outside the organization. Since relationships are the lifeblood of organizations, poor relations impede individual, group, and organizational performance.

Under the systems effect, all people in the organization are affected by at least one other person, and each person affects the whole group or organization. The organization's performance is based on the combined performance of each individual and group. To have high levels of performance, the organization must have high-performing individuals and groups. Groups are the building blocks of the organization. As a result of the systems effect, the destructive behavior of one individual hurts that group and other departments as well. In addition, the destructive behavior of one department affects other departments and the organization's performance.
