  • Title: Staff pharmacists' opinions about performance appraisals.
    Author: Rao V, Rascati KL.
    Journal: Am J Hosp Pharm; 1993 Jun; 50(6):1181-5. PubMed ID: 8517458.
    Abstract:
    Staff pharmacists' knowledge of the performance appraisal (PA) process at their hospitals and their satisfaction with the process were studied. A two-page questionnaire was mailed to staff pharmacists at 11 hospitals located around the country, and a pharmacy administrator at each hospital was interviewed. A total of 142 staff pharmacist surveys were returned. Staff pharmacists' responses about the PA process were then compared with the responses given by their pharmacy administrator. Comparison of responses showed a low percentage of agreement for many items. When process measures were compared with satisfaction scores, the results indicated that staff pharmacists are more satisfied with the PA process when a written performance plan is used and when they receive feedback about their performance throughout the year. Managers should orient staff pharmacists to the PA process that will be used to evaluate them. Written plans for improving performance and frequent feedback about performance may increase staff pharmacists' satisfaction with the PA process.
