This study aims to examine two types of performance appraisal systems used to assess food operators to maintain high employee job satisfaction.  About 250 questionnaires were distributed around Kampung Bharu area in Kuala Lumpur.   The number of questionnaires returned were 210 but only 205 questionnaires were usable for the present study. SPSS was used to analyse the data to test the hypotheses. There were four variables researched in this study, namely Behaviour-Based Performance Appraisal System, Competency-Based Performance Appraisal System, appraiser, and job satisfaction. There was a direct and significant relationship between both appraisal systems with the appraiser (H1 and H2) and employee job satisfaction (H4 and H5) respectively. There was also a direct and significant relationship between the appraiser and restaurant employees’ job satisfaction (H3). The role ofthe appraiser was identified as a mediator in the relationship between Competency-Based Performance Appraisal System and employee job satisfaction (H7). However, the role of the appraiser partially mediated the relationship between Behaviour-Based Performance Appraisal System and employee job satisfaction (H6). The appraiser was regarded as critical in ensuring that the appraisal system adopted be carried out fairly, professionally, and rationally with adequate knowledge to boost job satisfaction among food operator employees in Kuala Lumpur.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate and articulate the performance appraisal process as a tool, used for the development of voice behavior through the fostering of trustworthiness and empowering culture in the organization.Design/methodology/approachData has been collected through survey instruments, filled by employees and their coworkers. The study proposes and tests a new model based on the relationship between performance appraisal and voice behavior through the moderation-mediation mechanism.

In this paper, we examined the employee Performance Appraisal System (PAS) of hospitals and gave a description of the role and significance of employees in the PAS covering 27% of the population of Hungarian state-run hospitals. In the research, we also examined the relationship between performance appraisal and employee engagement, as well as the practice of measuring employee satisfaction. We created a scale called Employee participation in the employee performance appraisal scale. Based on our findings, we can state that the employee is an active participant in the Hungarian performance appraisal systems of hospitals, as they are involved in the appraisal and their views are taken into account. It has been found that where employee satisfaction is measured, there is an opportunity for the employees to formulate reflections on their evaluations. Although not outstanding, the employee is considered a partner in the evaluation of his work.

Satuan Perangkat Kerja Daerah (SKPD) is a compulsory subject to the Laporan Akuntabilitas Kinerja Instansi Pemerintahan (LAKIP) in Indonesia. Of the many SPKDs incorporated in the city or district governments throughout Indonesia, it was reported that none of them had achieved an A rating of the LAKIP they had compiled. This phenomenon forms the basis for our research to disclose other factors that might influence the assessment of LAKIP on performance appraisal systems for SKPD in Indonesia. Based on research conducted by Spekle and Verbeeten (2013) explained that there is a factor of contractibility that can affect the relationship between the performance appraisal system with the performance used as the dependent variable. Therefore, this study attempts to replicate previous research to test whether it will produce a similar conclusion or not. The type of this research is causal explanatory, where the sample comes from population 3 SKPD located in Bandung while Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) is used as a data analysis techniquewhether interaction test is a special application of linear regression (multiplication of two or more independent variables).Keywords: Performance Assessment System, Performance, Contractibility, Satuan Perangkat Kerja Daerah (SKPD) Bandung, Public Sector’s Performance.

This article presents the results of a national survey of municipal government performance appraisal system practices based upon the responses of 240 personnel professionals. The survey focuses on appraisal system structure, the link between performance and personnel decision making, perceived user acceptance, and observations on the effectiveness of the appraisal system. The results indicate that most performance appraisal systems are designed in accordance with the literature. However, the administration of these systems is more problematic. Most systems are perceived to be somewhat effective in terms of the process of appraisal and the affects on motivation and productivity.
