Elements of satisfaction are strongly related to all aspects of organizational justice. The PA criteria are related to procedural justice.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitation is that the research provides information based only on one source, that of the appraisee. However, it highlights the role of employee satisfaction to organizational justice, linking different sources of satisfaction to different elements of justice.Practical implicationsThis paper has practical implications for HRD, as it provides HR practitioners with suggestions on how to increase the perceived justice of the PA system.Originality/valueThe value of this paper is to HR practitioners who design PA systems, and also managers acting as appraisers of their subordinates.
