ABSTRACT

This review paper examines the nexus between performance appraisal, motivation, and teachers’ job performance, synthesizing insights from eleven relevant articles. Effective performance management processes are pivotal in facilitating transparent communication of expectations and outcomes between employers and employees. The significance of teachers’ motivation in driving productivity underscores the importance of establishing objective assessment criteria for evaluating their job performance. The complexity of work performance judgments necessitates a multifaceted approach to assessment aimed at enhancing the credibility of the evaluation process. Furthermore, feedback from both immediate supervisors and colleagues emerges as a valuable tool in fostering the professional development of teachers. This paper sheds light on the interplay between performance appraisal, motivation, and teachers’ job performance, offering valuable insights for educators, administrators, and policymakers.
