Performance appraisal usage is expanding in public sector organizations across the U.S. Organizations employ the formal appraisal process with the belief that it provides them with a host of potential human resource benefits. In this study, 254 members of a large public sector organization were surveyed to assess the degree to which the organization's formal performance appraisal system was perceived as being effective in serving functions typically associated with the appraisal process. In addition, differences in manager/subordinate perceptions were analyzed and suggestions for improving the appraisal process were solicited. This research demonstrates that a properly developed appraisal process can serve both managers and subordinates in a number of important areas. At the same time, several critical functions of the appraisal process were found to be less than effective. A discussion of the implications of these findings to both academics and practitioners is included.

The implementation of Performance Appraisal System (PAS) is seen as a strategic move to foster performance-basedwork culture in the Malaysia’s public sector. Embedded in pay-for performance system, the new appraisal systemwhich was first introduced in 1992 establishes linkage between pay system, performance and competenciesdevelopment. However, the chain tying pay to performance appears to be weak. Massive disappointment signalspoor implementation as the appraisal system was overshadowed by inappropriate instrument design, rater error,inaccurate rating, bias assessment, etc. These major setbacks have evoked concern over ethical and fairness in thepractices of PAS. Occurrence of problems in the implementation of PAS signified erosion of justice and ethics in thepractices of PAS, thus lead to growing demand for integrity-based performance assessment system. This preliminaryanalysis therefore seeks to examine the relationship between ethic, justice and the practices of PAS in the Malaysia’spublic sector. Correlation coefficient results disclosed positive association between variables as the instrument used,process employed are moderately associated with ethics and justice dimensions. The appraisal system is likelyperceived to be good if fair assessment and ethical supervision were present and vice versa. This study deliberatelydiscusses the aforementioned issues through integrated framework based on organizational justice and workcharacter ethics theories and proposed framework for integrity enhancement in the implementation of PAS.Significantly, this article makes a theoretical contribution towards developing higher integrity capacity which oftenrequires in HRM practice.
