Abstract
Performance appraisal is a crucial process in any organization as it affects employees' job satisfaction, motivation, and career development. The perception of fairness in performance appraisals is an essential factor that influences employees' attitudes toward their work and their relationship with their managers. The review examined the perception and the fairness of performance appraisal and its effect on organizational commitment. The study made use of secondary data in the form of published information by other writers. The fairness in performance appraisals is subjective and varies among employees. Differences in perceptions can be attributed to factors such as personal experiences, organizational culture, and individual personality traits. Additionally, research has shown that the perceived fairness of performance appraisals can significantly affect organizational commitment. To ensure a fair and effective performance appraisal process, the review recommends that organizations should consider implementing strategies that promote transparency, open communication, and equal treatment for all employees. To be relevant, the appraisal must include all the pertinent criteria for evaluating performance and exclude criteria that are irrelevant to job performance.
