Correct Answer: (ii) Developmental purpose of Appraisal

Explanation (2 Marks):

Cleveland, Murphy & Williams classify Appraisal purposes into 4:

  1. Administrative → salary, promotion, transfer, dismissal decisions
  2. Developmental → feedback, coaching, identifying causes of deficiencies, career path planning, training needs, employee growth - future-oriented to develop potential
  3. Strategic → linking individual goals to organisational strategy
  4. Informational → documentation for HR records/communication

Given items: Performance feedback/coaching + causes of deficiencies + Tailor individual career path → clearly aim at employee development & growth, not administrative decisions.

Hence Developmental purpose.
