Abstract
Performance is thus about the way the task is accomplished and the results achieved
(outputs). The way inputs (resources) are utilized and the extent to which outputs (results) are
achieved at institutional level designates organizational performance, which therefore, is best
explained in what and how an employee in the structure is expected to get tasks geared and
accomplished towards the organizational goals. The pattern a task is accomplished and the
results achieved thereby flows through and within different interacting and interrelated sets
of activities that constitute a system i.e. performance system. The contemporary period of
increasing global competition has put more focus on effectiveness that the systems and
processes in the organization be applied in the right way to the right thing:
Performance management is of performance improvement process linked to performance
appraisal.
In effective organizations, goals are agreed and work is planned routinely,
progress is measured and feedback is communicated. And this study draws on effectiveness
in appraising the performance of employees for a continuous improvement of organizational
performance in the Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency (ERTA). It focuses on how
effective is performance appraisal in improving the performance of employees in ERTA and
in achieving strategic and operational goals.
The methods of participant observation and Likert-type questionnaires are the preferred
methods to collect data from primary sources, and the required data regarding factors that
contribute to effectiveness of the performance appraisal system are obtained. Accordingly,
