Abstract
Every organization’s success is dependent
on Employee performance. Committed
employees enables organization achieve its
objectives whereas, poor performing
employees leads to downfall of an
organization. To develop reliable and
unbiased ways of evaluating employees,
organizations should understand the key
benefits of employee performance.
Evidence of positive association between
performance appraisal and employee
performance have been recorded in literature
and the confirmation have been registered in
both private and public organizations.
Empirical findings from some scholars have
cast doubt on whether performance appraisal
leads to employee performance. It has been
indicated in literature that ineffective
performance appraisal can be alleviated and
developed by human resource functions.
However studies have remained subjective
in examining how performance appraisal
increases employee performance. To find
out the relationship between performance
appraisal and employee performance using
training and development as the parameter,
this study used desk review and based the
study on expectancy theory which underpins
the construct of performance appraisal and
employee performance. From the review of
literature carried out, it was discovered that
gaps existed in literature regarding the
association of performance appraisal and
employee performance. It was found out that
different scholars have different concepts on
performance appraisal in regard to employee
performance. The study found that
inadequacies in performance appraisals are
related to organization structure context
while others are associated with the
processes.
This study recommends the need to examine
the association of performance appraisal and
employee performance by incorporating
both organization structures and processes
with the focus of increasing employees’
commitment and performance. The
supervisors should discuss attainable goals
with the employees and there should be
regular reviews. Timely feedbacks should
be discussed with the individual employees.
Those that achieve their targets should be
recognized and poor performers should be
reproached. The gaps realized should be
sealed through training and development.
