An organisation’s performance management system plays a major role in its ability to attract and retain skilled and/or experienced employees, to motivate high quality performance, and to support organisational strategic objectives. In this unit you will gain a sound understanding of the concepts, models and theories underpinning the relationship between performance management systems, human resource management and organisational performance. You will explore the use of performance management techniques in real world organisational settings and develop performance management capabilities relevant to a range of organisational scenarios.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Unit Coordinator reflection
The current textbook (published in 2020) provides a solid foundation of theories and concepts. However, the real-world examples and discussion of performance and reward practices would benefit from being updated.
To ensure the unit remains current and relevant, it is recommended to replace or supplement the textbook by incorporating updated case studies, practical examples, and contemporary perspectives, thereby providing students with access to the latest theories and real-world applications in managing employee performance and reward.
Feedback from Student evaluation and Unit Coordinator reflection
Usefulness of feedback
Feedback on assessments is provided through detailed marking rubrics in Moodle and Turnitin, with additional written comments where appropriate. Students are encouraged to use this feedback to improve their future work. The Unit Coordinator is available to meet and discuss assessment feedback in further detail.
