ABSTRACT
This study examined the relationship between appraisal practices and employee performance within private organizations, specifically at Mount Elgon Millers. The research aimed to assess how performance standards , performance measurement, and result dissemination impacted employee performance among employees. With a population of 40 and a sample size of 36 respondents chosen using the Morgan Table, the study found that performance standards positively correlated with employee performance, with 75% of respondents reporting its significant influence, though only 55% felt that current practices were consistent and meaningful. Performance measurement also affected employee performance, as 60% of respondents indicated that performance measurements influenced their motivation; however, 50% expressed concerns about fairness and transparency. Result dissemination showed varied effects, with 65% of employees feeling empowered by delegated tasks, while 40% reported added stress. The study concluded that performance standards , performance measurement, and result dissemination were crucial for employee performance but needed to be integrated with other factors. It recommended improving performance standards practices for consistency, ensuring fairness in performance measurements, and tailoring result dissemination strategies to individual needs to enhance overall employee satisfaction.
