Case Study 3 As the production supervisor for Sweeny Electronics, Nakeisha Joseph was generally well regarded by most of her subordinates. Nakeisha was an easygoing individual who tried to help her e mployees in any way she could. I f a worker needed a small loan until payday, she would dig into her pocket with no questions asked. Should an employee need some time off to attend to a personal problem, Nakeisha would not dock the individual's pay; rather, she would take up the slack her self until the worker returned. Everything had been going smoothly, at least until the last performance appraisal period. One of Nakeisha's workers, Bill Overstreet, had been experiencing a large number of personal problems for the last year. Bill's wife h ad been sick much of the time, and her medical expenses were high. Bill's son had a speech impediment, and the doctors had recommended a special clinic. Bill, who had already borrowed the limit the bank would loan, had become upset over his circumstances. W hen it was time for Bill's annual performance appraisal, Nakeisha decided she was going to do as much as possible to help him. Although Bill could not be considered more than an average worker, Nakeisha rated him outstanding in virtually every category. B ecause the firm's compensation system was heavily tied to performance appraisal, Bill would be eligible for a merit increase of 10 percent in addition to a regular cost -of -living raise. Nakeisha explained to Bill why she was giving him such high ratings, a nd Bill acknowledge that his performance had really been no better than average. Bill was very grateful a nd expressed this to Nakeisha. A s Bill left the office, he was excitedly looking forward to telling his work buddies about what a wonderful boss he had . Seeing Bill smile as he left gave Nakeisha a warm feeling. Questions: 1. From Sweeny Electronics' standpoint, what difficulties might Nakeisha's performance appraisal practices create? 2. What can Nakeisha do now to diminish the negative impact of her ev aluation of Bill/ 3. What would you have done differently?
