[date]Mid-Level Managers take responsibility for leading a part of a company to a successful operation. Their position requires business operation skills, knowledge, and competency to carry out the most successful strategy for the company. However, for the operation to be successful, the managers have to be successful in their work as well. They need to be evaluated to see if their performance is within the company's standard. Evaluating the managers will help them focus on their skills and competencies that need improvement for better work outcomes (Zakay, 1984).
One of the evaluation tools that can be utilized to assess managers is the Behavioral Rating Scale (BARS). BARS evaluate an employee's performance through their work behaviors (Seifert, Yukl & McDonald, 2003). Their behaviors are rated according to how well they have conducted their tasks at hand.
In the evaluation sheet (See Appendix), evaluation criteria are listed with their description. The first of the criteria is Accountability.

The next criterion is the Initiative of the manager. It measures the manager's ability to be instinctive in what has to be done in the operation especially in urgent situations. A high rate would mean they are attentive enough to initiate while a low rate would suggest that they need more training and knowledge in the job. The next criterion is Leadership which measures the manager's competence in decision-making and leading. A high rate would suggest that their decisions lead to good outcomes while a low rate would mean they don't hold the leader competence in them. Management is the next criterion that measures the overall tasks of the manager in the operation. The criterion is influenced by the outcomes from other departments whether they do good or not under the guidance of the manager. The next criterion is Financial Management which measures the manager's responsible handling of financial status. They may rate high if th...
