Research On Optimization Of Performance Appraisal System For R&D Personnel Of Q Software Company

From 2011 to 2022,the market size of China’s software industry has grown day by day.By2022,the number of enterprises in the software and information technology service industry had exceeded 35000,and the number of employees in the software industry had reached 6.73 million.But at the same time,the competition among software companies is becoming increasingly fierce,and the sustainable development of software companies relies heavily on knowledge-based R&D personnel.How to improve the performance of R&D personnel through effective performance evaluation and talent incentive systems has become a practical challenge and difficulties for various software companies.An effective performance evaluation system is an important foundation for employee motivation.However,software companies generally face many problems in performance management,such as a lack of performance plans,lack of performance monitoring,unscientific performance evaluation indicators,and a lack of performance evaluation and feedback channels,which seriously limits the work efficiency of R&D personnel.The frequent turnover of employees in the software industry has become a norm,posing serious challenges to software companies.This paper takes the R&D personnel of small-scale software company Q Software Company as the research object.Through questionnaire surveys and employee interviews,I extracted the problems and causes of performance evaluation of R&D personnel in the company in my paper,according to the analysis of the current management and performance evaluation status of R&D personnel.The functional characteristics and needs of each position in the R&D department are also analyzed.The key performance indicator method was used to optimize and design the performance evaluation system for the company’s R&D personnel.Finally,a guarantee system for the implementation of the KPI performance evaluation system for R&D personnel of Q Software Company was proposed.The paper consists of seven parts: The first part reviews the literature research on performance appraisal theory at home and abroad,including research background,main content,research objectives and its significance;The second part summarizes the basic theories and methods of performance evaluation,such as goal management,balanced scorecard,key performance indicators,etc.It reviews the KPI performance evaluation methods tailored to R&D personnel in small and medium-sized IT enterprises;The third part analyzes and summarizes the characteristics of R&D personnel in Q Software Company,and summarizes the performance evaluation system of existing R&D personnel;The fourth part conducts an in-depth analysis of the main problems in the performance evaluation of R&D personnel in Q Software Company;The fifth part determines the scoring standards of key performance indicators,evaluation cycle,evaluation implementation management,and application of evaluation results in the performance evaluation system for R&D personnel of Q Software Company;The sixth part proposes the implementation of the key points for the performance evaluation of R&D personnel in Q Software Company and the relevant guarantee measures proposed;The seventh part summarizes and discusses the research conclusions,and proposes future research directions.The research conclusion of the paper has good reference and guidance value for the performance evaluation management of R&D personnel in small and medium-sized software enterprises.
