Overview

In this unit you will gain a sound understanding of the concepts, models and theories underpinning the relationship between performance management systems, human resource management and organisational performance. You will explore the use of performance management techniques in real world organisational settings and develop performance management capabilities relevant to a range of organisational scenarios.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student Unit Evaluation and Unit Coordinator reflection
Students who responded to the unit evaluation reported very strong satisfaction with HRMT19012, with 100% positive responses across all seven evaluation measures, including learning materials, learning from assessments, usefulness of feedback, knowledge and skills, relevance to degree and overall satisfaction. To maintain the currency and relevance of the unit, learning materials will continue to be reviewed and updated to reflect contemporary developments in performance management and reward.
Continue the effective teaching, assessment guidance and feedback practices implemented in T1 2026, including the use of interactive learning tools such as Padlet to support student engagement and collaborative learning. For future offerings, update the unit learning materials by incorporating the new Managing Employee Performance and Reward, 4th Edition (2026). Relevant textbook chapters, PowerPoint slides, videos, contemporary workplace examples, case studies and supplementary learning resources will be reviewed and updated accordingly.
