دانلود Does Performance Appraisal Contribute to Heightened Levels of Employee Burnout

Abstract

This  study  examines  the relationship  between  employee  perceptions  of  perfor­mance  appraisal  and both  employee  burnout  and experienced  job satisfaction  in a county  government.  More  specifically,  the authors  examine  whether  the following aspects  of performance  appraisal  are related  to  burnout  and job satisfaction: instrument  validity,  distributive  justice,  and procedural  justice.  The results  indi­cate  a  modest  relationship  between  these  three  independent  variables  and job satisfaction,  as well  as a  modest  relationship  between  procedural  and distributive justice and job burnout  for a  sample  (N = 134)  of professional  county  employees.  The  implications  of these  findings  for managers  are also  explored.
