To achieve strategic goals in an organization, many organizations attempt to align human capital with strategic goal attainment in order to give the organization many different advantages. This is often done through performance management, a system that ensures goals can be effectively and efficiently met using different instruments, policies, programmes and processes to manage, improve and control employee performance. Organisations are often considerate of enhancing motivation through performance management (PM), using appraisals, coaching, training, addressing deficient performance behaviours, and providing rewards for achieving specific, identified targets and goals. There is a theoretical link between effective performance management and increased motivation that is consistently iterated in a variety of literature and empirical studies, making it an important consideration for contemporary organizational managers.The study, through qualitative interviewing of a recruited industry sample of managers and employees at Microsoft, and comparison of theory of PM and motivation finds that motivation is of significant importance when considering PM strategies that will be effective and enhance performance. The study finds that this significance manifests itself in terms of reward structure development, ensuring equity, attempts to enhance social belonging through PM strategies, and in the performance appraisal process.
