Abstract
In
the Italian public entities the assessment of employees involves the use of two
parameters: the performance objectives and the individual performance factors. The last ones concern the personal
behaviors required in the workplace by employees under evaluation, and their
measurement affects the construction of the reciprocal roles of the evaluator
and the evaluated. Difficulties
invest both: the evaluator considers that he/she does not possess technical
tools and relational skills to manage this process; the evaluated tends to
focus mainly on the economic and career consequences. The aim of this work is to help the manager to recognize the
meaning dimensions underlying his evaluator activity and to become more effective and
consistent as evaluator through the use of some constructivist tools. In this
way it will be possible to encourage the evaluator to become more aware about
the dimensions involved and the impact of his activity on the assigned
personnel and on the whole organization.
Keywords: Evaluation (assessment), manager, employee, performance, measurement

Mauro Martinelli is a member of several Independent
Assessment Bodies and Evaluation Units of local public entities in the north
east of Italy. After graduating in law in Florence he was a staff manager in
local administrations; but when he realized that resistance to change in his
workplaces was too high he decided to enroll in psychology in Padua. His second
professional life led him to dare, as much as the first pushed him to play
defense. He is attending the third year of ICP (Institute of Constructivist
Psychology) in Padua and hopes to get his diploma before age prevents him from
having clients. As a manager, consultant, evaluator and student, Mauro has
lived many lives – in a rather questionable temporal order. He lives in a small
village in the Alps with his family and a growing number of professional
projects to keep him busy during his third age.
