A Study On Effectiveness Of Performance Appraisal On Employee Productivity.

This research paper aims to examine the impact of performance appraisal systems on employee productivity in contemporary organizational settings. As companies strive for sustainable growth and competitiveness, the role of performance appraisal in shaping and enhancing employee performance becomes increasingly important. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather comprehensive insights from both employees and management personnel. The quantitative phase involves the distribution of structured questionnaires among a diverse sample of employees across the industry, aiming to gauge their perceptions of the performance appraisal process and its impact on their productivity. Additionally, relevant performance metrics were analysed, with an assessment of observable correlations between the outcomes of appraisals and subsequent employee productivity. In the qualitative phase, in-depth interviews were conducted with a subset of employees and managers to learn more about their experiences with performance appraisal. The qualitative data indicated perspectives on the strengths and weaknesses of existing appraisal systems. Secondary data includes research papers, publications, magazines, books, journals, and websites. The core objectives of this research were to evaluate the performance appraisal system of the company and its effectiveness and to gather feedback from the workforce on the same. Also, to study the association between performance appraisal systems and employee productivity. Research data was analysed with the aid of the SPSS standard tool. The research framework incorporates relevant theoretical perspectives on performance appraisal, employee motivation, and organizational behaviour, aiming to provide practical insights for organizational leaders, HR practitioners, and policymakers. Findings suggest the refinement or implementation of performance appraisal strategies that better align with the dynamic needs of modern workplaces, fostering a culture of continuous improvement with training programs and increased employee engagement through a better pay structure.
