Abstract:
This paper examined performance appraisal and employee productivity in an organization. It also reviewed literature on performance appraisal. The findings from reviewed literature showed that majority of the research carried out on appraisal interviews were mostly internationally based. Most research on effective appraisal interviews needs to be carried out locally. The concept, characteristics, methods and advantages of performance appraisal interviews amongst others were discussed. Given the increased emphasis on performance appraisal, the study recommended that, performance appraisal should be used when communicating with employees because it provides an opportunity for clarification of any discrepancies. Those elements will help to ensure that performance appraisal conducted in any organization will yield the desired benefits and be more readily accepted by all concerned. Management of organizations should at all times appraise the performance of individuals, groups functioning in the work place and it should be a common practice of all societies.
