According to Mutenyo (2004) lack of consistent, reliable, automatic and well defined policy on SMEs approval leading to promotion and recognition of achievements has led to a very low morale of workers. This effects of performance has led to dissatisfaction with work and has increased subsequent turnover. The study adopted a descriptive research design.

A total number of 59 workers completed the questionnaire and out of the 150 workers in the four selected SMEs. According to the study performance appraisal offered in SMEs had been a positive effects to those who had been transferred, promoted or demoted. The appraisal is also adequate despite the failure to effectively effect it on workers.
