| Abstract: | The primary objective of the study was to examine the effect of performance appraisal
practice and its constituent elements (Ongoing feedback, Rewarding performance,
trained appraiser, continuous open communication, fairness of PAS, and
participation in PAS) on employee’s motivation. To achieve this purpose, descriptive
and explanatory study designs have been employed through cross- sectional survey
questionnaire from a sample of 130 permanent managerial and professional
employees. The study used Stratified random sampling technique to draw sample
branches from the target population. The 30 bank branches are divided into 30 subgroups
or strata to draw representative sample branches. Random samples are then
selected from each stratum. The data collected through questionnaire is analyzed
using statistical measures such as descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple
regression analysis by using SPSS version 20. The study found that the indicators of
effective PAS such as, ongoing feedback, rewarding performance, trained appraiser,
continuous open communication, and perception about fairness of PAS have a
significant and positive impact on employee’s motivation while employee’s
participation is statistically insignificant. |
