A variety of appraisal methods are used by many public and private organisations for measuring the performance of employees in some form or the other. Research indicates that there is a tremendous pressure on employees to perform exceedingly well so as to retain the organisation's position in the market. Every employee in both the private and public sectors is being continuously and systematically assessed for the values that he/she is adding to the organisation by performing their assigned jobs. Despite the fast growing use of employee appraisal methods used to adjudge an individual's performance in terms of needs of the jobs for which they are employed, their true impact remains sadly under-researched. The purpose of this paper is to measure the effectiveness of assessment methods based on a mixed reaction of managers and staff employees. The article is introduced by a brief overview of the literature on assessment methods and followed by the research design, results, conclusions and implications of the study. - Reproduced
