520 _aMost of the literature on the subject focuses on six external factors that determine an employee's level of performance. These determinants are the work environment; management behavior; job design; performance appraisals; feedback; and salary administration. Research has shown that a favorable work environment is essential to encourage the most productive levels of employee performance. Even during the employment interview, a psychological contract is being formed. Certain assumptions and expectations are developed, some of which are realistic and some of which are not. In the day-to-day interaction between superior and subordinate, numerous other assumptions and expectations emerge. As the employer and the employee continue to develop their own, often quite different, sets of assumptions and expectations, these differences eventually have an influence on the level of performance.
