For your initial post, apply the integrated performance management process $($Kinicki et al$.,2013)$ cycle, as well as Malos$(1998)$ guidance, to answer the following questions:

Describe your performance appraisal experience $($e$.$g$.,$ accumulating production records, rating performance$)$ in terms of your specific behaviors, cognitions, emotions, and attitudes during each of the four phases depicted in the integrated performance management process.

How was the process you participated as a rater or ratee similar and different than the cyclical work processes illustrated via the four$-$phase model?

To what extent were Malos$$ appraisal criteria met, and recommended procedures executed, during your performance appraisal experience?

Given the best practice guidance provided, as well as the guidance advanced via the other learning resources, what would you plan and perform differently during your next performance appraisal initiative?
