INFLUENCE OF EMPLOYEES’ PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL ON EMPLOYEES’ JOB SATISFACTION IN DANGOTE FLOUR MILLS PLC

Abstract

The periodic examination of employees’ contribution to an organisation vis-à-vis the reward paid to them has remained a daunting task for Human Resource Managers (HRMs) over the years. Yet, the HRMs must also ensure that employees are satisfied with their job while doing the former. It is from these puzzling duties of HRM that this paper derived it inspiration of investigating the influence of employees’ performance appraisal on employees’ job satisfaction in Dangote Flour Mills, Plc, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. This was done Using a structured questionnaire format to collect information from the company with two hundred and thirty-two (232) (comprising both managerial and non-managerial) staff. Similarly, a simple random sampling technique was adopted while the sample size was calculated using the Raosoft Online Sample Size calculator. Data gathered was analysed with a Pearson correlation analysis. The paper found that a positive and significant relationship exists between the duo. Sequel to this, the thus recommended that a good appraisal policy be maintained to increase employee job satisfaction. In addition, the appraisal should either end with a training programme or a related policy geared at facilitating employees' career improvement.
