Abstract

The study examined the Effect of Performance Management System on Employees’ Performance, using selected Federal Colleges of Education in north East, Nigeria. Relevant theoretical and empirical literatures were reviewed. The study was anchored on feedback theory. The population of the study was 3,296 and the sample size was 346 using Krejcie & Morgan table. Cluster and Simple random sampling techniques were used to select the respondents. Primary source of data collection was adopted. The study used structured questionnaire as instrument for data collection. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) V. 23.0 was used to analyse the data. The study used both Descriptive and inferential statistics in analysing data. Specifically, Ordinal logistic regression was used in answering research questions 1,2 and 3. Findings of the study revealed that Performance Management System has a positive and significant effect on Employees’ Performance. Therefore, the study recommended that Public Organizations should improve on the current Annual Performance Evaluation Report(APER). and should pay adequate attention, monitor and lay emphases on 360⁰ Feedback Appraisal technique to improve employees’ performance, since it was found to have high positive and significant effect on Employees’ Performance. Also Public Organizations should place little or less emphases on Management by Objective Appraisal since this technique was found to have weak but significant effect on Employee Performance.
