Abstract

The reward system of many organizations depends on
performance appraisals, made by the managers. Certainly, appraising an
employee’s performance is often more difficult than people think. The manager
gives a performance appraisal with a subjective view, which affects the
self-awareness of the employee and the perception of the manager’s ability to
evaluate performance.
It is a tool to appraise the employee’s strength and weaknesses and provide
helpful measures to overcome weaknesses. Motivated employee will improve his
workings to be more effective in terms of quality and quantity, so he can
participate efficient to achieve the objectives of the organization. This study is analysing the relationship between performance appraisal
and employee motivation. The research is based on literature and also
interviews, which are conducted with managers of leading positions, who have
the ability and permission to evaluate employees. The interviews deliver
primary data that represents the opinion and thoughts of the managers.
