Modeling the Performance in Chinese Engineering Managers

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.
