Trong thực tế, nền tảng công nghệ và các tính năng của nó, chức năng, và độ tin cậy thường có thể xác định sự khác biệt giữa thành công và thực hiện một không thành công.

Changes in the amount of time spent in housework appear to have more to do with the labor market than with labor-saving devices. Further technological advances in the form of labor-saving devices can actually increase the time spent in housework. At least in part a reason for the counterintuitive relationship between technological advances and time spent in housework is that appliances bring with them their own set of tasks. They also make possible a higher level of performance and therefore change the standards for performance. For example an automatic dishwasher may involve rinsing or pre-washing dishes. Since the dishwasher makes possible storage and daily washing of dishes dirty dishes left in a sink is no longer acceptable in many households. The level of performance made possible by technological advancement has changed the standard for acceptable performance. Similarly the automobile has made travel easier and more accessible to millions of people. However auto accidents maim and kill drivers passengers and pedestrians on a daily basis. Further auto advancements such as four-wheel drive and traction control hold forth the possibility of horrific accidents when the performance envelope is extended beyond its boundaries. As another example personal computers offer information and communication but we are far from paperless and viruses and spam now seem to be permanent fixtures on the computer landscape. In sum technology offers great positive possibilities but negative outcomes often unintended can be part of the advancement. Further technology now permeates our lives and its role in performance management in the workplace is no exception. Our purpose in this chapter is to consider the role of technology in performance management. We will consider the promise and potential of technology in this important area of management. We will also consider the sometimes .
