Abstract

As a leader and manager in higher education, an important aspect of my role is to lead a team of six nursing academics who plan, prepare, and deliver an online postgraduate degree at a regional Australian university. The academic team are a remote team, residing in geographically dispersed locations of Australia, many who are early career educators in higher education. To inform my practice as a leader and manager of this unique team, and specifically with the aim of increasing understanding performance management (PA) and performance appraisal (PA), a critical analysis of the current literature was undertaken. This critical analysis transpired after being intrigued by the paper titled ‘Performance evaluation will not die, but it should’ by Murphy (2020). After an analysis of the current literature and PA practices implemented in a university setting, findings suggest that not all performance evaluation should die.
