Management
writers have written on the outcome of employee performance and its usefulness
to business organization and so performance appraisal as an important personnel
management function.

Performance
appraisal is defined as the process of reviewing individual's performance and

meaningful and worth while the study will highlight the benefits of the use of
appraisal system and it will also attempt to identify the way operational
problem with a view to providing appropriate solutions.
