Nawaal Sohail

Abstract


This investigative study analyzes the Performance Management System (PMS) of Dominican Convent Higher Secondary School (DCS) in Pakistan. In this research, traditional methods of PMS and the theoretical basis of PMS are also explained. This study explores the problems faced by DCS due to deficiencies in PMS and gives solutions to overcome the deficiencies. Qualitative method is used for data collection and analysis. Open-handed questions were asked in the interview conducted by the supervisors, teachers, and principal of the School. There were 20 respondents. The findings show that teachers and supervisors were not satisfied with the goal-setting process and evaluation method. Moreover, the PMS of School is not a continuous process. Teachers' and supervisors' performances are not evaluated continuously. The teachers and supervisors are also not satisfied with the promotion basis.
