After measuring performance against control standards, there are three courses of action. Which action is appropriate under what circumstances?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: If results are adequate, but not outstanding, no action is necessary. If results are very positive, perhaps a celebration is in order. If results are negative, corrective action should be taken. Perhaps the standards were set too high, or the employees were inadequately prepared.
Explanation: Good performance should be reinforced through recognition, bonuses, or raises, commensurate with the achievements. Falling short of standards could be a function of employee behavior or conditions outside the employees' control. Further assessment might be necessary.
