Relationship between Performance Evaluation and Job Satisfaction

Abstract

A performance evaluation is a systematic, general and periodic process that assesses an individual employee's job performance and productivity in relation to certain pre-established criteria and organizational objectives. Other aspects of individual employees are considered as well, such as organizational citizenship behavior, accomplishments, potential for future improvement, strengths and weaknesses, etc. Performance management systems are employed "to manage and align" all of an organization's resources in order to achieve highest possible performance. "How performance is managed in an organization determines to a large extent the success or failure of the organization. Therefore, improving PA for everyone should be among the highest priorities of contemporary organizations". Job satisfaction or employee satisfaction has been defined in different ways. It may be as simple as the feeling of satisfaction with a job. If a person likes their job, they feel job satisfaction.[1] When an employee performs their work well, they feel a sense of job satisfaction.[1] If a worker has good relationships with their boss and their coworkers, they feel job satisfaction.[1] Psychologists who study the behavior of industries and organizations also look at job satisfaction in different ways.
