Abstract


Performance appraisal acts as a fulcrum in relationship between employees and the organization by creating an avenue for continuous communication and feedback. The satisfaction of employees towards performance appraisal affects them in tangible and intangible ways; leading to diverse reactions and behavioral outcomes. This study assesses the strength and direction of the relationship between Performance Appraisal Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment of 112 employees working in 18 private sector organizations in Delhi-NCR. The results established a significant relationship between performance appraisal satisfaction and organizational commitment. Affective and normative commitment and overall commitment were found to have significant correlation with Performance Appraisal Satisfaction. Continuance commitment, however, was not found to have a significant relationship.
