ABSTRACT

Performance evaluation is focused on measuring efficiency and effectiveness of employees in order to ensure organizational success. Performance based supplementary payment system is a monetary reward system based on the work beyond normal work performance and such a system that correlates relationship between performance and income. A survey on Performance based Supplementary Payment System PBSPS of Kocaeli University Research and Application Hospital was conducted in order to determine whether their attitudes differ with ages, titles, and income groups of the medical doctors. 236 responses from the medical doctors in this hospital were analyzed. The factor analysis revealed that there were 1 professional ethical factors, 2 the individual performance development factors, 3 Institutional Performance development factor, and 4 private practice tendency factors. The medical doctors have such opinions that PBSPS has had negative impact on professional ethics and has not developed individual performance, has had neither positive nor negative contribution to organizational performance and increased the tendencies to open offices for private practice. It was found out that attitudes related to professional ethics and individual performance development factors of PBSPS did not vary with their titles, income levels and age groups. In a similar manner, attitudes related to private practice tendency factors of PBSPS did not vary with their age groups. However, it was determined that attitudes related to institutional performance development factors diverged with their titles and income levels and attitudes related to the private practice tendency factors varied with their titles, ages and income levels
