Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect performance appraisal system on employees’ performance. Performance appraisal system provides the right feedback about the performance of an employee. Most studies have reported that performance appraisals are not motivating the employees, but there are controversies among authors. A social survey method was used. One thousand one hundred seventy-one (1171) staff was considered according to Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) official report. A proportional sampling and simple random sampling techniques were used to select 298. Questionnaire was used as research instrument. The Cronbach’s alpha SPSS of the questionnaire was 0.868. Multiple Regression analysis was used with aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 26.0). The model considered for this study were Motivation employees, demotivation to employees, Elements of performance appraisal system, and Criteria of performance appraisal system. The result shows that there is significant relationship between the elements of performance appraisal system and employee performance. Also, it revealed that the criterial of performance appraisal of the organization boost the performance of the employee. It is recommended that NLNG should ensure that they meet the need of their employees after the performance appraisal. If employee works hard then organizational goal, the employee should be compensated effectively. Also, NLNG management should consider the use of positive reinforcement strategy to provide positive rewards to their staff when they perform well. This is conforming to the reinforcement theory; staff should be rewarded according to their contribution through effective teams. A positive reinforcement should be considered as a technique to elicit and strengthen staff by adding rewards and incentives instead of eliminating their benefits.
