Abstract

Purpose- This study aims that the performance evaluation systems practiced by associating the leadership concept and the performance evaluation system will make significant contributions to the academic literature. Additionally, the study is expected to help leaders with understanding the importance of performance evaluation systems in the business world and its contributions to the development of a successful business leadership, and to propose leaders some useful suggestions on how performance evaluation systems can be executed successfully.
Methodology- In this study, first of all, the concept of performance evaluation and why performance evaluation systems should be applied in companies are discussed. Then, the importance of performance evaluation systems in the company for leaders and their contribution to management systems are explained. It has been mentioned how performance evaluation systems and in which departments of an organization should be used mostly to reach organizational success. Then, the performance evaluation process and methods are explained. In the final part, the features of an accomplished performance evaluation system necessary for accomplished leaders to establish an effective leadership system in the organization are explained and the implications of problems encountered in the performance evaluation systems that prevent the accomplishment in business leadership are discussed.
Findings- The factors that many businesses have control over are simply the conditions within their own business organization. In fact, it is still not possible to say that many business leaders have 100% control over these factors. This is where the importance of the concept of leadership is felt in a business organization. If a leader could maintain performance evaluation system and manage the employee’s performance system in an effective manner, it will not be difficult or a coincidence for him to achieve success in organization.
Conclusion- The most important point of the performance evaluation is that it is not the person who is evaluated, but the value of his performance. Leaders should distinguish the performances of employees by establishing an effective and objective performance evaluation system and act according to the results. This will both motivate the employee to work and enable the establishment of a healthy organizational structure.
