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.

Study level/applicability This case is suitable for undergraduates, MBA students and students from business administration departments in the teaching of human resources management and performance management. Case overview Luodian Electric Power Construction Corporation Group (LEPCC Group) is a state owned enterprise transformed from a construction unit of Luopu Power Supply Bureau (LPSB), a governmental organization in charge of all the electricity supply in Luopu City. The general manager of LEPCC, Gu Ming tried to set up a modern market-oriented management system for LEPCC. Unfortunately the problems that had accumulated in the past two decades during which LEPCC was a governmental organization made his reforms very difficult. The first headache for Gu Ming was the performance appraisal reform in LEPCC. The existing performance appraisal system seemed to have at least three problems in practice: unclear appraisal objectives, an improper assessment system, a different appraisal standard for similar positions. What should Gu Ming do to build a proper performance appraisal system to help the fast-growing LEPCC Group to make LEPCC a competitive market-oriented player? Expected learning outcomes The first objective of this case is to enable students to understand that the issues of working performance are issues of people first, rather than issues of the management system. If the management focuses on the system instead of on the staff of the company to design the performance management system, the system will be fruitless and inefficient. The second objective is to cultivate students' capability to apply the basic theories of human resource management and the knowledge of performance appraisal in case analysis and practical management. This case, seemingly about performance appraisal, is in fact about the organizational structure and processes of the organization. Reform should start with organizational analysis, job analysis and job descriptions. Only when all these have been done correctly, can the performance management system be designed more reasonably, scientifically and efficiently.

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.
