    (2023-11-06) Dorothy Chelangat
    This study sought to assess the effect of appraisal practices and employee performance in Elgon Millers. The study objectives were to: establish effect of target setting practices on employee performance, determine effect of evaluation practices on employee performance; examine effect of communication practices on employee performance and to determine the effect of corrective action practices and employee performance. The study population was 170 employees from Elgon Millers Mbale. The study employed simple random sampling techniques in coming up with a sample size of 118 respondents. The primary data collection method used was a questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS version 20. Linear correlation coefficient analysis and multiple regression analysis were also used to determine the effect of the independent variables on dependent variables. The study found that target setting practices were significant in predicting the relationship with employee performance with r = 0. 903**, p value = .000 and β = -0.261 with p-value = 0.000<0.05. The regression coefficient of target setting practices was negative and significant in predicting the employee performance. Further the study found that evaluation practices had a positive and significant relationship with employee performance with r = 0. 976**, p value = .000 and β = 0.941 with a p-value = 0.000<0.05. The regression coefficient of evaluation practices was positive and significant in predicting employee performance. The study further found that communication practices had significant effect in predicting employee performance with p-values less than 0.05 with a p-value of 0.000, r = 0. 934**, and β = -0.309. The regression coefficient of communication practices was negative and significant in predicting employee performance. The study also found that corrective action practices were significant in predicting the relationship with employee performance with r = 0. 913**, p value = .000 and β = 0.640 with p-value = 0.000<0.05. The regression coefficient of corrective action practices was positive and significant in predicting the employee performance. The study recommends that that Elgon Millers should put more emphasis on target setting practices by trying as much as possible to involve the employees in the target setting process, Elgon Millers should find a way to actually incorporate their views in the final target document. The management of Elgon Millers should continue to promote Evaluation practices inform of peer evaluation reviews in order to ensure objectivity throughout the appraisal process. The study additionally recommends that the Management of Elgon Millers should also put much more emphasis on communication practices by providing an acceptable means by which the employees can raise their grievances as concerns. Also the study recommends that Elgon Millers should implement a main corrective action towards non-performance
