Abstract:
The study analyzed the perception of performance appraisal and employee
performance. The main objective of the study was to examine the relationship
between performance appraisal and employee performance of employee from
Blue Skies Product Limited at Nsawam in the Eastern Region. Data for this
present study was collected through a biographical questionnaire, performance
appraisal questionnaire and employee performance questionnaire. The census
method was employed which was made up of the entire population made up of
three hundred and fifty employees. The data was then analyzed using a
statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS). The analysis of the multiple
regression confirms the hypothesis that performance appraisal has a significant
and positive relationship with employee performance. This implies that
performance appraisal initiatives have the capability of enhancing employee
performance positively. The study also came out with the recommendations
that, to ascertain an employee performance in relation to performance
appraisal, it is important to know how the preceding performance appraisal
processes show their influence when the management has an insight into the
motives of their employees, hence it will be necessary to use this information
by making decisions with regard to best practices with respect to performance
appraisal packages
