Sensemaking perspective is one of the strongest conceptual frameworks for explaining human and social phenomena in organizations. The aim of this study is to apply sensemaking perspective to better understand the performance appraisal system in organization. Employees’ perceptions and interpretations and their actions play a pivotal role in performance appraisal effectiveness. Human beings are meaning making creatures and for understanding their actions, one has to enter into their worlds of meaning. The research method of this study is Charmaz’s constructivist Grounded Theory. The sampling method is theoretical sampling and the data gathering method is interviewing. Seventeen emlpyees from two companies with performance appraisal system were interviewed. In line with Charmaz’s constructivist approach to grounded theory, initial and focused coding formed the basis of our data analysis. Findings show that employees’ create four meanings out of performance appraisal: performance appraisal as the managers’ tool of oppression, performance appraisal as all encompassing behavioural record, performance appraisal as a torn paper, and performance appraisal as an unknown phenomenon.In the contexts of performance appraisal employees adopt four action strategies:exhibitive performance, authentic performance, indifference and senseseeking. Analyses demonstrate that the employees’ perceived agency in influencing their performance scores is the main determining factor in relating employees interpretations of performance appraisal to their actions.Given the importance of employees’ interpretations and actions in the effectiveness of HRM practices, this research can help organizations manage employees’ meaning and consequently improve the effectiveness of performance appraisal. Additionally findings of this research enhances the extant understanding of the HRM-performance relationship.

In order to achieve this goal, in the first stage, while reviewing the subject literature, using the views of 16 experts with targeted non-random sampling, with the help of Fuzzy Delphi technique, in two steps, through online surveys, 14 criteria effective for organizational ideology, was identified. In the next step, using Fuzzy TISM approach, in new dimensions of classification, levels and relationship of criteria were determined. Finally, it was concluded that the structure and configuration criteria have the highest dependency power and all the criteria affect it.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the promotion determinants of organizational virtuousness in Tabriz state hospitals.The statistical population of this research consists of the staff of Tabriz state hospitals and the size of statistical sample is 362 individuals based on Cochran formula. The stratified random sampling method was used to collect the samples and the data collection tool was a questionnaire which was provided to statistical sample. The multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the statistical data. The results from the mean equation test showed that the average obtained for organizational virtuousness is higher than the average level and it is in a desired level. According the results from the estimation of linear regression model, about 65% change is explained in the organizational virtuousness with independent variables in the model. Moreover, the variables of organizational structure, human resources, private environment and public environment affect organizational virtue with explanatory coefficient of 0.278, 0.136, 0.487 and 0.154, respectively.Unlike the ideas of many experts in environmental issues and their negative impact on the virtue-based ethics of the public sector, the researchers of this study believe that the most important reason behind the loss of morality and negligence of virtuosity in organizations should be sought within the organizations and their daily activities.
