Answer to Question 1

Staffing influences the effectiveness of a performance management system by providing the raw talent that the system will manage. Even the best performance management system cannot replace important capabilities that employees must have to do their jobs well.

Additionally, performance management systems affect a staffing system's effectiveness. For example, even if highly talented employees are hired, they won't perform at their best if they get no or inaccurate performance feedback. If employees perceive performance feedback to be unfair, talented employees may not be motivated to contribute as much as they could. Without performance goals, employees will not know what aspects of their jobs to focus on and will not know what level of performance is expected of them.
