The Individual performance plan (IPP) is an instrument used to establish performance expectations and to support the performance evaluation of each employee. Employees how don’t know what is expected from them or how “performance” looks like, are more likely to be disengaged and less productive.

An important issue in performance management is determining the right price to pay for a service provided by another party. The principle – agent problem arises when one party (agent) agrees to work in favor of another party (principle) in return for some incentives. In other words, the principal–agent problem or agency dilemma concerns the difficulties in motivating one party (the “agent”), to act in the best interests of another (the “principal”) rather than for his own interests.
