Employee Motivation & Employee Performance Directly Associated with Performance Appraisal – An Empirical Study

Performance appraisal (PA) is designed to assess employee contributions & provide feedback that supports professional development (PD). When employees remark the appraisal progression as impartial & supportive, their motivation upsurges, which therefore subsequently strengthens performance levels. This empirical research examines how performance appraisal (PA) impacts employee motivation (EM) & employee performance (EP). A sample size of 129 respondents from various manufacturing & service organizations was surveyed. The research uses non-parametric based statistical tests including chi-square test, test for mann–whitney U, kruskal–wallis test & correlation. Results confirm that a transparent, impartial & feedback-driven based appraisal system significantly expands employee motivation (EM), which straight forward enhances performance.
