Abstract

This paper reviews briefly the literature on performance appraisal over the whole period since its introduction into the UK, and draws attention to some possibly missing elements in determining the success of appraisal, notably the visibility of work, the beliefs and values of appraisers, and the reaction of subordinates to direction. It therefore proposes that these are areas for further investigation.
