Summary/Abstract: In psychosociological literature, Performance Management is defined as a permanent process of identifying, measuring and development of both individual performance and of the group in organizations. The necessary conditions for an assessment to have results are: consistency with the organization’s strategy, completeness, practical nature, relevance, specificity, differentiation, reliability and validity, inclusion, correctness and acceptability. There are some significant differences that separate practical thinking by traditional intelligence tests, among which the fact that intelligence tests suggest implicitly and sometimes explicitly the idea of competition, while practical thinking has the ability to be guided by the social context, favoring cooperation at the expense of fierce competition in certain given situations.
