Abstract

Performance appraisal remains a critical human resource practice for assessing employee contributions, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and enhancing organizational efficiency. However, in many Nigerian organizations, performance appraisal is often viewed as a mere administrative routine rather than a strategic tool to improve employee satisfaction and productivity.

This paper examines the relationship between performance appraisal and employee job satisfaction in Hartland Nig. Ltd, Edo State. Using both conceptual and empirical insights, the study reveals that fair, transparent, and participatory appraisal systems positively influence job satisfaction. The paper concludes that appraisal systems tailored to organizational realities and employee expectations significantly enhance motivation, morale, and retention.
