EFFECT OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL ON SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF PERFORMANCE OF TERTIARY INSTITUTION IN NIGERIA

Abstract

All institutions must adequately address performance appraisal, an essential component of performance management. The aim of this study is to investigate how administrative staff at a private Nigerian university are affected by performance reviews/appraisal. The most important question is how administrative staff at a private Nigerian University are affected by performance appraisal. This study was inspired by the fact that when people work together, they produce results-oriented work. However, when management denies employees access to decision-making participation, prompt evaluation, and a reward package for a good job, performance suffers. The questionnaire was distributed to selected respondents at Bell's University in Ota, Nigeria, using the quantitative research survey. Multivariate statistics was applied as data analysis strategy and the outcome found that self-evaluation, feedback and reward system altogether affect performance of administrative staff. The study implies that performance appraisal are a real way to get the most out of employees' work, or a real way to get the best out of them.
