Abstract

The impact of performance appraisal system can only be realised if the methods and procedure employed within an institution is consistent and competent to produce results. The impact of performance appraisal system is, yet again, the most significant issue, whereby human resources management in an organisation can use it to determine the employee’s training and development strategy, because it would enable an organisation to determine the competences and skills of all employees in the organisation to increase productivity. The purpose of this study is evaluating the impact of performance appraisal system on the employee’s training, development, and productivity: A Case of Capricorn TVET college, Limpopo Province, and making recommendation on what measures can be used to make an impact on the performance appraisal system’s training, development and productivity. Based on the findings of the study, the performance appraisal system employed by Capricorn TVET College does not make an impact because it doesn’t encourage training and development hence employee’s productivity and performance remain the same. It does not produce positive outcome.
