This study aims to identify employee perceptions of perceived fairness in performance appraisal system and work performance as the performance appraisal system is crucial to evaluate employees’ performance in every organization; public or private. A private Oil & Gas company in Miri, Sarawak was chosen for this study. Quantitative research method was employed in this study, and closed-ended questionnaires were used to collect data from respondents. Statistical analysis using One Way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and Independent sample t-test were used to test the hypotheses. The findings showed that there were no significance differences between the selected demographic factors (age, gender, duration of service, highest educational level, and rank) in performance appraisal system and the work performance. Also, there was a significant relationship between the rating accuracy in the performance appraisal system and work performance. Besides that, there was a significant relationship between employee perceptions of leadership styles in decision making in the performance appraisal system and work performance. The findings also showed that employees are concerned with the evaluation and rating given by their supervisor because the outcomes of the performance appraisal will influence their career development in the organization. Thus, performance appraisal system is crucial in increasing the work performance of employees and organization. Organizations should emphasize the role of the performance appraisal system practiced in their organizations and recognize that it is important in improving employees’ performance. Future researchers are encouraged to explore further on the performance appraisal elements that have not been investigated in this study, and conduct the research with a bigger population and sample size.Keywords: Performance Appraisal System; rating accuracy; leadership styles; work performance

The performance appraisal system in a company has an important role in achieving the target of achieving a job. Employee job satisfaction with the performance appraisal system depends on the level of employee perceptions of the performance appraisal system that applies to their workplace. This research was conducted in a company PT.X which is engaged in the BOPP film industry. The performance appraisal system in the company, based on employee perceptions, is still not effective. Here, the researcher attempted to design a performance appraisal system using the BARS and MBO methods. This research was conducted by means of field surveys, literature studies, and FGDs. The BARS and MBO methods are able to assess employee performance. Where in this method it creates unclear and measurable performance standards, there is no maximum feedback on the performance of employees, often the assessment is subjective, besides the assessment is carried out once a year so that it causes management to experience difficulties in monitoring. In addition, the company only dominantly assesses work activities and behavior, without assessing the work performance of each employee. Whereas here, the company should have carried out an objective performance appraisal, by having clear and measurable assessment standards and being able to provide feedback on employee performance achievements. Thus, researchers recommend using the BARS and MBO methods in the performance appraisal process. This aims to meet the company's needs for employee performance appraisals.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate and articulate the performance appraisal process as a tool, used for the development of voice behavior through the fostering of trustworthiness and empowering culture in the organization.Design/methodology/approachData has been collected through survey instruments, filled by employees and their coworkers. The study proposes and tests a new model based on the relationship between performance appraisal and voice behavior through the moderation-mediation mechanism. Data analysis has been performed using SEM through SMART PLS 3.FindingsResults show that a strong and positive relationship exists between performance appraisal and voice behavior through the mediating variable of psychological empowerment. The moderators, empowering leadership and perceived fairness have played vital role in boosting psychological empowerment and strengthening the relationship with performance appraisal.Research limitations/implicationsThe study presents the performance appraisal system as one of the antecedents of employees' voice behavior generated through psychological empowerment (mediator) and perceived fairness and empowering leadership (moderators) since the appraisal system is to be implemented through the leader.Originality/valueThe study presents a unique and innovative idea while it tries to explore and measure the different effects/impacts of the relationship between performance appraisal and voice behavior.

This research attempts to determine the influence of performance appraisal as antecedents of job satisfaction among employees in a selected public institution of higher learning in Sarawak, East Malaysia. Quantitative methodology using an adapted questionnaire with statistical tests like Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Linear Regression (Stepwise) were utilised to analyse the data. The findings indicated that the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of PA have a positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction.

The study examined performance appraisal (PA) and employee development in the University of Education, Winneba. The concurrent triangulation strategy or design from the pragmatic perspective was adopted for the study. A multi-stage sampling technique such as simple random, stratified and purposive sampling techniques were used to sample of 159 from a population of 271 (comprising 61 senior members and 210 senior staff) administrative staff of the University of Education, Winneba. Data collection instruments were questionnaire and unstructured interview guide. Quantitative data was analysed with frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations, and Pearson correlation matrix. Pattern matching was used to present the qualitative data after coding and thematic analysis. The study found that administrative staff of the University were not satisfied with the present ranking PA method or system in vogue. Respondents strongly endorsed the need for 360-degree feedback PA system because it provides feedback from multiple sources and had a statistically positive significant relationship with employee development and performance. It was recommended that the management of the division of the human resource of the university should gradually phase out the existing performance appraisal system and introduce the 360-degree feedback performance appraisal system.

Performance Appraisal System (PAS) is the tool the education department of Pakistan uses to evaluate the performance of teachers. Survey research was conducted to determine the satisfaction level of public-school teachers with conduction and outcomes of PAS. The correlational research design was planned to determine the perceptions of the teachers about their competencies in areas evaluated by PAS and its outcomes. A multistage random sampling technique was used to access the target sample of 900 higher secondary school teachers from 12 out of 36 districts of Punjab. Since it was a pioneer study, a self-constructed questionnaire was used for the survey piloted on two out of 12 selected districts. The questionnaire was distributed among 1200 teachers; 960 were retrieved, and 900 were tabulated and recorded on SPSS 21 for the final analysis. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. After ensuring reliability, the items were factorized using the exploratory factor analysis technique yielding six factors. Pearson Correlation was conducted to determine the strength of the relationship among the variables, while multiple linear regressions using the stepwise method were conducted to get informed with the critical risk factors associated with the satisfaction of teachers with the conduction of PAS. The results reveal a highly complex situation faced by school teachers; though teachers have displayed complete knowledge about the conduction of the PAS process and its consequences, yet, not only the teachers seem deficient in the needed skills; they also lack motivation for self-development.
