Abstract
The evolution of performance appraisal can be traced back to the dawn of human civilization. The relegation of Adam and Eve from the heaven to the earth on account of their forgetful departure from the commandment of Allah by falling prey to the whisperings of Satan was the beginning of performance appraisal system. The psycho moral and metaphysical foundations of performance appraisal system are based on the two fundamental tenets of reward and punishment expounded in the Islamic teachings. However, the people at the helm of the affairs (leaders/managers) have turned blind eye to the basic tenets of performance appraisal enunciated by Qur’an and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet and his pious Caliphs. Resultantly, performance evaluation results are swayed by personal whims and favoritism/nepotism of the leaders/managers, which in turn, is the manifestation of their incapability and inefficiency to fulfill their responsibilities in the desired manner. As a consequence, the most viable and effective instrument of management i.e. performance appraisal, fails to fetch the desired results leading toward stagnation and deterioration in our national institutions.
