instruments developed in this study were structured questionnaire that contained 34
items. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentage, mean and standard
deviation) and inferential statistics (t-test, anova-test, correlation and multiple regression
analysis). The findings of the descriptive analysis revealed that there is a wide gap in the
application of all the components of performance appraisal process such as, establishing
performance targets/standards, communicating established standards, appraisal
process/measuring actual performance/, discussing the appraisal results with the
employee and giving feedback and initiating corrective action. It implies that
performance appraisal programs should relate to the theoretical issues of managing
appraisals in order to utilize and improve employee’s performance improvement. Thus,
