Abstract
The performance appraisal process has been the focus of much researcher and practitioner attention. In spite of this attention, methods used in performance appraisal are generally ineffective in increasing the quality of performance appraisal processes. Thus, while performance appraisal processes have evolved, progress has been less forthcoming. There are many areas related to the performance appraisal process which are ripe for development and research creativity.
