😆 no its not another relationship😉 related topic. Regarding insecurity of loosing a job.

One's Job can be insecured coz various reasons

1. Cost cutting.

2. Hire and Fire rule for incompetancy.

3. Someone is ready to do the job in lesser cost.

4. Highly competative work culture where employer is focused just on profits.

5. Work ethics, race, etc etc...

Under Performance:

- Due to constant pressure, Low Moral etc

Over Performance:

- To retain the job.

1. With constant insecurities at JOB, whether employees under or over perform?

2. Do you feel the performance or initiative of permanent employees or say goverment employees lack as compared to non permanenet insecured employee?

ok..

If your answer is to 1 is Under Perform

A. Do Govt employees (in general - no offense) in India justify thier competency and work?

If your answer is to 1 is Over Perform

A. Should Govt of India implement Hire and Fire rule and stop permanent jobs, atleast for next five years to see the impact?

excellent topic..
I have always believed in over-performing. That does not guarantee success many a times, but makes me feel like a better performer 😆 😆 .
About implementing certain tactics to improve performance nationally, being clueless, I will keep quiet and listen.

They perform to their capability

the fear of losing a job is there when you know you are not doing the job you are supposed to do,

if you perform the job as prescribed and have valid explainations for mistakes, you dont get laid off for that

2. Do you feel the performance or initiative of permanent employees or say goverment employees lack as compared to non permanenet insecured employee?

yes

ok..

yes, if you see the entrance exams for govt jobs, these people are intelligent folks, they have worked hard to attain a job

it is just that there is no incentive left for these people to work, retaining their livelihood will be a good incentive

if the mantra is "perform and you get rewarded and if you dont perform you are out of the door, the performance will certainly improve"

Note: your if/then else loop goes looping if you put a middle of the road answer, so dont hold me responsible for the if/then/else logic mishap here, you should have put better exception handlers😆😆😆

Is there anything like over performance?🤔If you can just perform to the task that's more like an over performance...You can almost NEVER over perform at a job..

2. Do you feel the performance or initiative of permanent employees or say goverment employees lack as compared to non permanenet insecured employee?

Gov'ment employees are more laid back because they think their jobs are secured😳

Depends on which departments you are talking about...Our defense is very good, except a few odd cases here and there, which speaks volumes about the competence of the employees..However, overall the Gov employees are more famous for their lacklusture performances😃

Not gaurantee... but more possibility. If you are good performers then catch the eye of decision makers...

I think the root cause of all performance related issues is over-committing while setting up performance goals or during interviews and then not able to deliver the expected results. Over-committment is a sure shot recipe for failure.

I personally believe in setting up or committing to practical and reasonable goals and then surpassing all expectations via my deliverables. It always impresses my bosses big time 😳 But the trick is not to set way too easy goals. The goals should be challenging to begin with but not wayyyyyy too challenging (I hope I am making sense here).

As far as all questions related to government employees' slack are concerned, let me assure you, most government employees every where in the world are slackers mainly due to the prevalent red tapism that is inherent in any government system. Trust me, this is my personal opinion. I have done way too many governmental audits when I was with KPMG. The only difference is that in western world, they slack but do not take bribes due to serious repurcussions and in-built system of honesty at their job level. Most of the Indian government employees slack as well as take bribes 🤢 which makes them worst when compared to western world's govt. employees .
