Abstract
The employee assessment process (EAP) is a formal evaluation system used by an employer to evaluate employee’s performance and behavior within a company. The objective of this paper is to determine the current state of the most common used practices for EAP in the construction industry; specifically in Southeast United States. Existing literature was reviewed to understand the historical context and the current documentation of existing EAP processes in other industries and within the construction industry. Literature revealed that there is no formal standardized process documented for EAP practice within the United States construction industry. Based on the literature findings from other industries and EAP process from construction companies outside the United States, the researchers developed a survey instrument that was distributed to a group of fifty-six participants within various general contracting companies in Southeast United States. In order to develop the standard practice, the five elements, specifically, documentation of assessment, metrics used during assessments, key components of assessment, frequency of employee assessment and level of assessment detail based on different positions within a company were analyzed.
