Figure 1
A flowchart illustrating the stages of an APM cycle. The cycle starts with “defining performance (goal-setting)” in the top right quadrant. An arrow points to “evaluating performance (feedback)” in the bottom right quadrant. Another arrow leads to “reviewing performance (ratings)” in the bottom left quadrant. Finally, an arrow directs to “providing consequences for performance (rewards etc.)” in the top left quadrant. An arrow then loops back to “defining performance (goal-setting)”, completing the cycle.APM process model. Note: Based on Kinicki's (2013) model of performance management
