From the Paper:

"The database at University of California San Diego, Human Resources Department, "Overview of Performance Management", states that the evolution of the concept of performance management as a new Human Resource Management model reflects a change of emphasis in organizations away from command-and-control toward a facilitation model of leadership. This change has been accompanied by a recognition of the importance to the employee and the institution of relating work performance to the strategic or long-term and overarching mission of the organization as a whole. Employees' goals and objectives are derived from their department's, which in turn support the mission and goals of the University."
