Abstract

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996,
instructs the Public Service Commission (PSC) to propose measures to
ensure effective and efficient performance in the public service, which
includes National and Provincial Departments (1996:108).Various view points on this issue have been expressed why even some
hard working staff members of the Western Cape Provincial Treasury
(WCPT) are found to be surprised and disappointed over the performance
management process especially, when their hard work throughout the
year goes unnoticed or are under-rated by their superiors.The bias scoring by certain performance evaluators also causes plenty of
animosity, hostility and resentment among colleagues because "friendly"
staff is prejudiced ahead of other staff.The Public Service Act 103 of 1994 states that an executive authority has
powers and duties regarding the performance management of officers
and employees of that office or department (1994:14). "... a head of
department shall be responsible for the efficient management and
administration of his or her department, including the effective utilisation
and training of staff..." .
