Objective and key results (OKRs) within an Omani performance appraisal System: Can they provide hybridity, collaboration, motivation and empowerment for academicians?
Purpose
This paper highlights the importance of effective performance appraisal and advocates a particular model for both universities and the workplace beyond. This study aims to determine whether academicians in Omani higher education associate collaboration, hybridity, empowerment and motivation with Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) systems. It also aims to explore how this association is or is not enacted.
Methods
Quantitative data were elicited from an e-questionnaire administered to 103 academicians in three campuses at a university to ascertain if they positively correlate with the four variables. Five of these respondents participated in follow-up semi-structured interviews, providing qualitative data to further illuminate these findings.
Findings
It was found that collaboration and hybridity significantly correlate with OKRs according to academicians. Motivation moderately correlates, while empowerment does not significantly correlate with OKRs.
Research limitations/implications
It is important to delve further into the theme of motivation and empowerment with OKRs. More quantitative studies are needed to determine whether the same results occur in other HEIs. More qualitative studies are required to understand why participants answered in this way.
Practical implications
This study can be informative to managers, leaders and professionals when using OKRs or evaluating its potential use.
Originality/value
Few studies have been carried out in HEIs in Oman or indeed globally. The study is useful to draw attention to the four variables highlighted extensively in the literature, especially ‘empowerment’ which did not significantly correlate.
