Background of the Study
Performance appraisal systems are vital tools used by organizations to evaluate employees’ performance, provide feedback, and identify areas for improvement. A well-designed performance appraisal system can motivate employees, increase productivity, and support career development (Ogundele, 2023). In the context of Dangote Cement Plc, one of Africa’s largest cement manufacturers, performance appraisals are essential for ensuring that employees meet organizational goals and contribute to the company’s success. With a large workforce in Kebbi State, Dangote Cement faces challenges in assessing performance consistently across different departments and ensuring that appraisals are fair and motivating.
The performance appraisal system at Dangote Cement is intended to be a strategic tool for improving employee productivity and aligning individual performance with corporate objectives. However, there have been concerns about the effectiveness of the system, including issues with bias, lack of proper feedback, and insufficient linkage between appraisals and reward systems. As the company continues to grow, it is important to evaluate the performance appraisal system's effectiveness in driving employee performance and organizational success in Kebbi State. This study seeks to examine the performance appraisal practices at Dangote Cement Plc in Kebbi State and assess their impact on employee motivation and productivity.
