The Impact of a Performance Appraisal and Reward System on Employee Workload Delivery

Abstract

Performance appraisal and reward programmes are critical organisational strategies for improving employee performance. The goal is to ensure that employee productivity is sufficient to meet the company's overall objectives. The performance assessment examines and evaluates an employee's job performance on a regular basis, while the reward system motivates the individual to carry out his or her tasks. The study looks at how successful performance appraisal and incentive systems are at improving employee performance using both primary and secondary data. Enugu State Civil Service Commission, Enugu State Office of the Head of Service, Enugu State Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, and Enugu State Ministry of Labour and Productivity all contributed 100 participants to this study. A structured questionnaire was distributed to employees of the Enugu State Civil Service Commission, the Enugu State Office of the Head of Service, the Enugu State Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, and the Enugu State Ministry of Labour and Productivity. The data were analysed using SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The findings show that employee workload delivery is influenced by performance evaluation and compensation (i.e. in the area of timely execution of the task, creating consciousness among employees that they are been watched, paying attention to details)
