Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001]     1. Field of the Invention  
         [0002]     The present invention relates to a network system program, and more particularly to the employee performance reviewing system performed by a network system program.  
         [0003]     2. Description of the Prior Art  
         [0004]     Traditionally, most employee performance reviewing models adopt paperwork, this means that the employee performance data and the director granting are handled with paperwork. It often takes a lot of time and is difficult to track the rate of progress of all the employees reviewed. Meanwhile, problems of losing data and omitting content remain a constant issue. For example, previously all the performance data of the employee to be reviewed would have to be individually collected. At this time, there are some unavoidable problems such as not informing employees, omitting data, not delivering data or delivering data late due to the employees at remote location and so on. Meanwhile, the confidentiality and security of the performance data may be in doubt. Moreover, when the director reviews the employee being reviewed, the reviewing process may be reviewed class by class and pass through many directors in the process. Meanwhile, the data probably needs to be sent to other divisions and even to other companies for review. The process of the performance review is difficult to control. The director may not know whether the reviewed data has arrived or not. Furthermore, a high cost manpower is needed to constantly track the rate of the reviewing progress and problems exist in the loss of paper data. Thus, the reviewed data must be placed into files, and finally all employees or directors being reviewed must be informed in regards to the last reviewing result. The data is stored into files in the paper form, and all the paper data needs to be stored in classification. Then, it is difficult to statistically analyze this data and a lot of manpower and time is needed to accomplish the task. Besides, there is another way to filing data into digital form, and it also needs much manpower and time. At least this way is convenient to statistically analyze reviewing data, but it also probably has the confidential problem.  
         [0005]     In summary of the above mentioned, the traditional reviewing model in the paper form has many drawbacks like in controlling the difficulty of time, the lack of confidentiality and the control of data content, the wasting of manpower, and finally its not easy to statistically analyze. Therefore, a new system or process is needed to solve the above questions.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0006]     The paperwork has questions for having not enough time and confidentiality, thereby its one objective of the present invention to provide a system for controlling procedure automatically and handling data individually.  
         [0007]     It is another objective of the present invention to use a network system directly to proceed with a performance reviewing operating procedure. Time and space will not be limitation, and records can easily be kept, which will be a benefit for analyzing data with a computer and achieving no paper used.  
         [0008]     According to above purposes, the present invention supplies a kind of individual work to ensure data security and confidentiality.  
         [0009]     In order to achieve above purposes, the present invention supplies an employee performance reviewing method. The method comprises beginning a performance review of an employee by using a performance reviewing system for inputting on line. The system receives at least the performance data inputted by a reviewed employee. The performance data is added to a performance checking record of the employee performance reviewing system. The system receives at least a director review inputted by a director corresponding to the reviewed employee. The director inputs the director review in reference to the performance checking record and the director review is added to the performance checking record. The system processes the performance data and the director review to generate a performance reviewing result according to the performance checking record. The system ends the performance review and sends the results to the reviewed employee and the director. The present invention further includes a statistic analysis step to statistically analyze the performance data and the directors review process.  
         [0010]     Meanwhile, the present invention also discloses an employee performance reviewing system. It comprises a performance checking record, an application module configured for generating a message information and a dispatching time of the message information according to the performance checking record, and a message module configured for, within the dispatching time, transmitting the message information to at least a receiver and accepting a up-to-date message from the receiver. The up-to-date message is generated according to the message information and added into the performance checking record through the application module. By using of requesting the following-up checkers assessing the performances, the objective of procedure control can be reviewed. The present invention can further include an interface module and an encryption-decryption module to achieve the objective of confidentiality and security of the data while cooperating with a security mechanism.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
       [0016]     Some embodiments of the present invention have detailed descriptions below. However, except for the detailed descriptions, the present invention can have a broad use in other embodiments, and the scope of the present invention can not be defined by this preferred embodiment, but by the appended claims.  
         [0017]     Furthermore, in order to supply a more clear description and more understanding of the present invention, irrelative detailed portions are not completely drawn. And in the present invention disclosure content, this word “one” is regard as comprising single or plurality, contrary, any mentioned plurality shall also properly comprise single.  
         [0018]     Referring to  FIG. 1 , the preferred embodiment of the present invention supplies an employee performance reviewing system to proceed the employee performance reviewing method, and the steps of the employee performance reviewing method starting from a performance review (step  110 ). A reviewed employee inputs any performance data on line (step  120 ), while a director inputs a director review on line (step  130 ). The performance data and the director review are processed to generate a performance reviewing result (step  140 ). The performance review is completed (step  150 ) and then an answering performance-reviewing result is delivered to the reviewed employee and the reviewed employee&#39;s director (step  160 ).  
         [0019]     In the present invention, the performance data at least includes a work plan for first half of a year, an employee&#39;s self-review of performance, and a work plan for second half of the year. The performance data is stored as a performance checking record. The reviewed employee&#39;s director makes out one director review in accordance with the performance checking record, and the director review is also added into the corresponding performance checking record. The reviewed employee&#39;s director can be more than one, example for many directors in the same class or directly director in different class and a higher-class director. When making out one director&#39;s review, each director can read and refer to other director reviews existed in the corresponding performance checking record. At the same time, the performance data and the corresponding director review are processed so as to provide current contents under the requirement. Meanwhile, it achieves the objective of the procedure control, and summarizes all director reviews of all directors of the reviewed employee to produce a performance reviewing result.  
         [0020]     When one reviewed employee or related one or more directors fail to complete the corresponding performance data or directors review, a manager can be authorized to input these data. The manager is only responsible to key in the data based on the manuscript contents generated or submitted by the performance contents and director review. The manager can be authorized to modify the up-to-date message. Furthermore, the performance data and director review are done within the time from the beginning to the ending of the employee performance review, and after the completion of the employee performance review, one the result is delivered to the corresponding reviewed employee and the reviewed employee&#39;s director, individually. Besides, all of the performance data, director reviews, and performance reviewing results can be processed with statistical analysis to acquire reference data about all employees of the company.  
         [0021]     In order to directly execute the employee performance reviewing on the network, a system is used to provide the reviewed employees and directors for a user interface to input the performance data and director reviews for the performance checking record. The performance checking record also includes a director&#39;s reviewing result that can be sent to the corresponding reviewed employee and director after the completion of the employee performance review. Furthermore, through an application module, the contents of the performance reviewing system can be modified or added into the performance checking records at the request of the user interface. Meanwhile, the user interface can request the reviewed employee and director to input or submit data and review requests. The requested review can be transmitted through a message module, and meanwhile, the message module can transmit up-to-date messages of review requesting back to the application module. Furthermore, cooperating with a security mechanism and an encryption-decryption module, the present invention can make all procedures individually and ensure the confidentiality of the data, as well as the control of the time and progress.  
         [0022]     Accordingly, another preferred embodiment of the present invention is a performance reviewing system, as shown in  FIG. 2 . The performance reviewing system includes an application module  22  and a message module  24 . The application module  22  manages a performance checking record  222 . The application module  22  respectively produces a message information  224  and the dispatching time of the message information  224  according to the performance checking record  222 . The message information  224  is transmitted to at least a receiver  26  at the dispatching time through the message module  24 . The receiver  26  may input an up-to-date message  262  according to the message information  224 . Then through the message module  24 , the up-to-date message  262  is transmitted to add to the performance checking record  222  though the application module  22 .  
         [0023]     The contents of the message information  224  comprises a portion or all of the performance checking record  222  and data extended from the performance checking record  222 . The extended data includes the receiver  26  and interface contents provided by the receiver  26  and so on. Alternatively, according to the contents existed on the user interface, a user can input an up-to-date message  262 . Depicted in  FIG. 3 , a preferred embodiment of the present invention further has an interface module  32 . The interface module  32  provides different users  26  with multitudes of different interfaces according interface contents, displays the related contents to the corresponding receiver  26  to input up-to-date message  262 , and sends the up-to-date message  262  back to a message module  24  to add to the performance checking record  222  through the application module  22 . Furthermore, through some interface content settings, the interface module  32  can restrict the contents that the receiver  26  can view. Therefore, there is a security mechanism to ensure the message information  224  to be read and the up-to-date message  262  to be generated by an authorized receiver  26 . For example, such an authorized receiver  26  can view the message information  224  and input the up-to-date message  262  on the condition that an account and a password inputted through the user interface are matched and confirmed by the user interface. The account and password can previously be stored in the interface content or performance checking record  222 .  
         [0024]     Furthermore, there is further an encryption-decryption module  34  configured for ensuring the message information  224  and up-to-date message  262  viewed by an authorized receiver  26 . For example, the message information  224  and up-to-date message  262  can be encrypted before dispatching or transmission, and decrypted after receiving. Furthermore, the message information  224  and up-to-date message  262  can be encrypted or decrypted on the confirmation condition of the receiver  26 . Besides, there is further a manager module  36  configured for adding a manager replacing the receiver  26  to input up-to-date message  262  and modifying performance checking record (not shown in figure) with the application module. Accordingly, a modifying data is generated by the manager through the manager module, received by the message module, and added into the contents of the performance checking record through the application module. Furthermore, the application module further has a control function with which a notice can be sent to the receiver and director on the condition that the up-to-date message is not received before an approaching deadline. A finishing deadline is acquired when an application module generates message information.  
         [0025]     In addition, when the receiver is a reviewed employee and the up-to-date message is an employee performance reviewing data, the up-to-date message is generated through inputting a work plan for first half of a year, a self-reviewed performance, and a work plan for second half of the year. The reviewed employee follows the steps for performance after the completion of the work plan for first half of a year. The work plan for second half of the year begins after the completion of the work plan for first half of a year.  
         [0026]     In addition, the receiver can be more than one director. These directors review of the reviewed employee and produce director reviews, and all produced director reviews are added into performance checking records. Therefore, one director receives message information that has employee performance reviewing data and other directors&#39; director reviews from the employee performance reviewing data and inputs another one director review according to the existing message information. However, such message information may include all of the performance checking record, but what one receiver can view, may be subjected to the interface contents. Therefore, after the generation of one up-to-date message, the application module can send one or many of the reviewed employee&#39;s director&#39;s message information to one or many corresponding directors and request director review. The above-mentioned procedures may be executed over and over again until one director is one of the most superior directors. Accordingly, once the most superior director completes the director review, employee performance reviewing data may be sent to the reviewed receiver and the corresponding directors.  
         [0027]     Moreover, the preferred embodiment can be implemented through a client-server module. The above-mentioned performance checking records can be accessed from a database. Furthermore, the performance checking record also can include multitudes of sub-records stored in the database. Besides, the message information and up-to-date messages also can be accessed from the database. And the application module, message module and interface module may be integrated in a server.  
         [0028]     Furthermore, the preferred embodiment can be implemented through a multi-layer module. The interface module can be implemented by an interface of web page for displaying the contents of the message information. Accordingly, the message module that can be implemented by a web page server and the application module that can be implemented by an application server may cooperate with a rear database to access the performance checking records.  
         [0029]     Moreover, the preferred embodiment can be implemented by a message system. The message module can be implemented by an e-mail server. Moreover, the interface module can also be implemented by an e-mail client in whom the interface contents can display in a script language, such as HTML or XML. Accordingly, the performance checking record can be an electronic mail sent to the reviewed employee and the related directors. A sequential electronic mail, which may include a previously existed content, may be sent to the receivers and display a portion or all of the contents. Furthermore, the receivers can transmit up-to-date message with an electronic mail. The message module, application module and interface module also can be implemented by a web mail server that includes the web server and mail server.  
         [0030]     Accordingly, the present invention can be implemented by database, web server, e-mail server, application server, or the composition of servers, so as to possess multitudes of functions, such as the management of the performance checking record, transmission of the up-to-date message, message information, and the control of the procedure, and so on. In the present invention, the procedure of employee performance review can be directly executed on the network without limitation on time or space.  
         [0031]     Above said preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the preferred embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention only is limited by the claims.
