Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine a model to integrate managerial and non-managerial expectations, regarding performance appraisals, in an organisation-specific performance appraisal system’s design. The sample consisted of 178 respondents that completed a newly developed questionnaire, aimed at obtaining the respondents input in the performance appraisal system’s design. The results of the managerial group were compared to the non-managerial group. Some significant differences were obtained regarding the design of the performance appraisal system. The results and implications are discussed.
