Abstract:
To develop and do a quality test on a performance appraisal form of head nurses at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. The study was divided into two phases. The 1st phase : The development of an appraisal form, which can be further divided into the following three steps: (1) to comprise a component and capacity list for head nurses by means of a literature review and expert group discussion, (2) to develop and test the validity of the measurement by five experts, and (3) to gather a sample consisting of 350 individuals from the groups of 74 head nurses and 20 nurse inspectors who have been in their positions for at least one year, as well as 256 experienced nurses who have been working at least five years for the structural precision test. The 2nd phase - The quality test for an appraisal form, which was randomly selected from 56 head nurses and 18 nurse inspectors, who have been in their position for at least one year as well as 176 experienced nurses, who have been woring for at least 5 years. After that, the researchers carried out a precision test as well as calculating the mean and standard deviation and the consistency of the appraisal form, supervisors, and subordinates by applying the intra-class correlation coefficient. The results are follows; 1. The variation of a performance appraisal form can be explained by 69.91% from the change in four elements consecutively; (1) the management perspective (20 points) (2) leadership (8 points) (3) individual attributes (6 points) and (4) information technology (5 points). 2. The CVI = .85. α = .98 , mean = 3.78 and SD = .59. The model can represent a 0.97 correlation between the appraisal by oneself, supervisors and subordinates.
