Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance appraisals for government employees has been a contentious topic for scholars for several decades. Contradictory information regarding performance appraisal effectiveness has added to the skepticism felt by participants. Performance appraisals were first introduced to the public sector by President Carter through the Civil Reform Act. The goal of appraisals was initially dependent upon the type of work being performed. Executive-level employee appraisals to be based on both the performance of the individual and the organization's performance. Non-executive employees were to connect individual performance with the agency's objectives. The ultimate goal was to create a system to assess employee performance and advance the operational functions of the organization. The proposed study aims to analyze factors associated with employee perceptions of performance appraisals in the public sector and to help identify key factors that aid or impede appraisal effectiveness. Using surveys and interviews, quantitative and qualitative data can be gathered from current federal, state, and local government employees who were participate in the appraisal process. This study can provide insight on the perceptions of appraisals and identify if they provide any value to public organizations.
