Abstract

A performance appraisal is a systemic approach and a routine procedure of measuring the performance of work and engagement of an individual as an employee with the known requirements of the work he/she is matched to. It is a subjective assessment of the strengths, challenges and weaknesses in an engagement of a worker, comparative value to his or her organization, and future growth opportunities. The present paper will be focused on the identification of the impact of performance appraisal on employee motivation, turnover and work-life-balance. The result indicates that good appraisal systems can help in the enhancement of motivation of the employees, balanced work-life experience and even help counteract the turnover rate at the workplace. The sample size of 100 teachers of public secondary schools in District Vehari was used to obtain data. The information was gathered using the questionnaire. The data was analysed using computer program SPSS (statistic package of social science). Gathering of data was conducted through the use of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results of the research revealed that the performance appraisal has a high effect on employee motivation, turnover and work-life-balance based on Gender and Teaching Experience.
