Structural Equation Modeling for Research Model 70 92 The organization evaluated interview request evaluators to be smart and patient The evaluator must know that the staff need a chance to be evaluated and presented their views They must know how to compliment and criticism appropriately The staff compliment will match when a good reason to give but probably will not make sense if the employee does not deserve to be rewarded It is difficult to criticize the staff, even good reason to criticize When criticizing employees, managers should emphasize the positive aspects of the completion of the work, critique the actions / jobs that rather than the employee, and the employee will ask how to change these problems in order to improve the situation Interviews must end with the introduction of specific plans and agreement between the two parties on the development of employees and on the implementation of improved form work efficiency The manager must ensure employees have the training needs and support given by the company One thing to note is that during the interview process assessment, the evaluator must proactively record and listen to archive Project Program and adequate prices Tracking after evaluation helps managers understand the implementation of plans to improve work efficiency, the progress of employees, or provide support when necessary Managers have to consider records to ensure there was work to improve the efficiency of the staff In addition, company should: - be fair in job evaluation - choose suitable method in job evaluation - set up suitable and clear standard and criteria in job evaluation - choose effective procedure in job evaluation Performance evaluation is understood as a systematic and formal assessment of the performance of an employee's job in relation to established standards and discussion of that assessment with worker To evaluate the performance of work, it becomes a motivation tool for employees in the company The company needs to develop a formal and public performance evaluation system; The evaluation system must be scientific and clear; The assessor must have sufficient professional knowledge and professional ethics Performance evaluation systems should have clear, specific standards and be disseminated to each worker From there, employees can know the results of their work, 93 the company based on what criteria to evaluate the performance of their work so that they can take measures to adjust the work process to achieve the highest performance The performance evaluation system must be scientific and clear To apply any performance evaluation system to your business, the business must also clearly study the nature of the work to be 5.3 Limitations Although this research was carefully prepared, I am still aware of its limitations and shortcomings First of all, the population of the experimental group is small, the research was conducted in 400 respondents The number of respondents is not enough for the researcher to observe all of the employees' idea about policies of company It would be better if it was done in a longer time and with more respondents Second, the research based on effectiveness assessment according to the criteria of HRM practices, financial performance by perception of managers Therefore, the evaluation of financial criteria is subjective However, the purpose of the study was the influence of the human resource management activities in the enterprises so this does not affect the study results 94 REFERENCES Armstrong Michael (2014), and Stephen
