Tiivistelmä
This study presents the critical problem of the development of Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises, where unstructured management hinders the healthy growth of the enterprise. Changchun Chengshi Ltd. Co China is a small enterprise troubled by an inefficient work force. In order to increase productivity the owner of Chengshi requested a solution to extricate the company from this difficult position. This thesis was conducted to fulfill the owner’s request.
The initial objective of the thesis is to use Management by Objectives (MBO) to solve the performance management problem. This thesis is concerned with two problems, which are establishing the reason for the inefficient work force and designing a new performance management system to encourage employees.
Quantitative and qualitative methods were applied in the research, and data was collected in the form of a questionnaire and interview. The statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was the tool used to analyze the data.
The results obtained suggest that the inefficient productivity was caused by the unstructured performance management system that matched the author’s hypothesis and that a new performance management system according to MBO principles could solve the problem.
The study presents the problems of the case company and provides an appropriate solution of performance management that could be a reference for the case company’s further development in the aspect of performance management.
