Small businesses generally have relatively weak data collection and analysis capabilities; therefore, performance evaluations should not be overly detailed. Otherwise, instead of becoming a catalyst for company operations, they may become obstacles. Data collection and analysis work should be linked to the company's actual situation and make full use of currently operable data or data that can be obtained with appropriate effort.
Compared with large enterprises, small businesses have their own characteristics: First, the number of employees is relatively small, and the information transmission chain is shorter, so it is less likely for information to become distorted; second, their ability to resist market risks is relatively weaker, making the business performance more affected by market conditions; third, there is no perfect management information system, resulting in relatively weak information collection and processing capabilities.
Due to short information transmission chains, significant influence from market conditions, and weak information collection and processing capabilities, performance evaluations for small businesses should highlight humanization, flexibility, and operability.
In small businesses, because the information transmission chain is shorter and less prone to distortion, employees tend to have a stronger understanding of the company's overall objectives, making it easier to align personal goals with the company’s target system. Additionally, due to the short transmission chain, employees have more opportunities to understand each other, allowing for more humanized solutions during the performance evaluation process.
These three characteristics determine the features of performance evaluations in small businesses: humanization, flexibility, and operability.
The performance of small businesses is significantly influenced by market conditions. Therefore, performance evaluations should not be too harsh, otherwise, they will fail to serve as good incentives and instead only discourage employee enthusiasm. Performance evaluations in small businesses should reflect flexibility, especially when designing performance indicators related to business aspects.
