Performance appraisal (now onwards PA) is an ongoing process of identifying, measuring and developing human performance in organizations. It is hoped that data are gathered by systematic observations, not only to measure current performance accurately but also to provide the necessary feedback information for changes that will improve future performance. The purpose is to measure progress, differentiate between levels of performance, pinpoint training needs, validate rewards and identify employees for promotion. The present paper reviews process of performance appraisal in Indian perspective.
