Abstract :
One of the trends in performance appraisal is about modeling the work behaviors, and considerable researches show behavior process is an important factor contributing to the employee´s total performance. Based on the contextual and task performance construct, we conduct a field research in Chinese engineering managers. The result shows the performance model consists of 3 dimensions: personal motivation, organizing task and behavior performance, and managers perform better in organizing task than in other two dimensions. At last, we discuss some implications for practice.
