Abstract

This research paper aims to examine the realities of the Employee Performance Evaluation System. It is generally perceived that this Evaluation is sometimes used for political purposes or personal bias rather than on merit and thus it affects Employee’ssatisfaction of job and intention to leave the organization (employee turnover). Therefore, we select the sample of highly qualified professionals working in different organizations and use the regression analysis to discover the exactness. Our result analysis in this study indicates that there is a strong relation linking appraisal of performance and employee job satisfaction and turnover intention, when employees notice that their assessments manipulated for any political purpose or personal bias it reduces their satisfaction of job, and tend to leave the job, hence it increases the organization turnover.
