Performance Appraisal, Performance Management and Improving Individual Performance: A Motivational Framework

Abstract

Performance appraisal has been the focus of considerable research for almost a century. Yet, this research has resulted in very few specific recommendations about designing and implementing appraisal and performance management systems whose goal is performance improvement.
