Factors associated with performance appraisal outcomes

Abstract

A correlational research was carried out among 132 respondents in 14 INGOs working in Nepal to study how centrality of a unit, in-group membership and problem solving behavior influenced performance appraisal outcomes like reward satisfaction and the perception of distributive justice, and whether impression management moderated the above relationships. In-group membership had positive impact on both reward satisfaction and the perception of distributive justice. The implication of this finding and the understanding that can be drawn from the existence of insignificant relationships of the other study variables are discussed. Key words: Performance appraisal, performance appraisal outcome, centrality, in-group membership, problem solving behavior, reward satisfaction, distributive justice, INGOs, Nepal
