Unit 2 - London and Mone performance management cycle

London and Mone offer a simplified figure of the performance management cycle which essentially reflects the cycle shown in the unit. Their summary table of seminal theories is a very useful summary of the research evidence which underpins parts of the cycle, e.g. Locke and Latham’s goal-setting theory. They then turn to five selected issues for practitioners:

1.       securing active involvement of senior managers

2.       linking PMS to organisational strategy

3.       keeping it current

4.       capturing learning from the system

5.       evaluating the performance of the system.
