What has Performance Management Scholarship Told Us?

The purpose of this study is to analyze the progress of performance management (PM) research published in leading management and psychology journals between 1997-2017. Using a bibliometrics approach crafts a rigorous and focused review of the ensuing PM literature (1997-2017). The findings reveal that PM studies are yielding helpful information and that the extant PM literature has addressed some of the critical questions raised by earlier researchers. However, there remain many areas for improvement with several significant research gaps still existing. We observe a scarcity of empirical studies, in particular, qualitative studies. In addition to offering a comprehensive analysis of the literature on one of the important areas of human resource management, this paper highlights the discord between PM scholars and practitioners in resolving the continuing problems related to PM. While PM scholars are still immersed with the many technical problems associated with PM, they do not appear to be answering the call for a rejection and abandonment of the PM altogether. Clearly, there is a much-needed call for more collaboration between these parties.
