Impact of Performance Appraisal on Faculty Satisfaction - A Conceptual Study

Abstract

In educational institutions, performance appraisal is essential for evaluating faculty performance and providing feedback for improvement. This conceptual study examines higher education performance appraisal and faculty satisfaction. The study acknowledges that faculty satisfaction is a key factor in institutional success and that good performance appraisal methods influence it. The primary goal of this study is to examine how performance appraisal impacts faculty satisfaction. The study synthesizes literature on performance appraisal methods, faculty job satisfaction, and their interactions to reach this purpose. The study examines theoretical foundations and empirical evidence to create a conceptual framework for how performance rating techniques affect faculty satisfaction. The study's findings highlight the need for transparent, supportive, and developmental performance appraisal practices that nurture a positive work environment and boost faculty motivation and engagement.
