Employee performance has traditionally been accorded prime focus by human resource managers. As a result, a number of performance appraisal techniques have over time been devised to help establish employee’s performance. In the contemporary times, the use of performance appraisals has been extended beyond rating of the employee’s performance to aspects such as motivation. The study’s main objectives pertained to establishing the moderating role of employees’ attitude towards performance appraisal as a motivation and performance tool. The study was based on Shine Communications London, as the case study organization. Primary data was collected from the organisation’s employees and HR manager. Notably, a survey questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from the employees while an interview was conducted with the HR manager. Data from the sample of 45 randomly selected employees was statistically analysed using the help of SPSS 2.0. Content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative responses from the HR manager. The study finds that a Performance Appraisal System can fail to achieve its motivational effect when it is used to threaten job security, is marked by inaccuracy and conducted by improperly trained reviewers. Among the study’s main recommendations include designing of a Performance Appraisal System that enhances perceptions of fairness and use of a personal approach in linking Performance Appraisal results to rewards.

Introduction: Performance appraisal is a formal process to review and improve the organizational performance of employees regularly. Despite the appropriate organizational frameworks for performance appraisal, they are not apparently addressing the operational realities of health care organizations. This study thus aimed to examine the effectiveness of the current performance appraisal system of employees at Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) from the perspective of employees. Methods: The data were collected from 504 TUMS employees using researcher-developed questionnaire following the validation. It consisted of 46 questions covering such various dimensions as performance expectations, communication of performance objectives to employees, self-assessment, performance metrics, surveyors, and performance appraisal results. ANOVA, t-test, Post hoc and Tukey statistical tests were used during analysis process by SPSS 22. Results: The performance appraisal system was not found as effective as expected from the employees’ perspective and the scores for all its dimensions dropped below the average. The overall performance appraisal score was 2.71 (out of 5). There was also a significant correlation between the employees’ education and organizational job group and the score of performance appraisal (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The current appraisal system according to the results is not well functioning. Therefore, it seems necessary to make urgent changes. The lack of active participation from employees and managers in performance appraisal development process, and the subsequent low motivation to improve their performance seems to be a persistent challenge. A fairly desirable solution might be to decentralize the appraisal processes rendering more authority to managers and supervisors along with empowering managers.
