The Performance Evaluation System and the Impact on Employee Motivation: Do Performance Appraisal Rewards Play a Role in Motivating and Engaging Employees?

Abstract

Motivation is the process that initiates goal-oriented behaviors, guides them, keeps employees focused, engaged and with a positive attitude. Therefore, understanding the relationship between staff motivation and performance is crucial to the company's organizational culture and employee engagement. This study aims to explore the impact of motivation on the overall performance of a company and even if it complements the existing literature, it leaves room for future research opportunities on the topic discussed. We will also investigate the relationship between motivation and human resource management, analyzing whether it is important to treat each employee individually and consider that each person is different and has different needs or whether employees should be treated collectively, as a group. The results were collected by analyzing various qualitative and quantitative data and by conducting a comprehensive research in the most relevant research platforms, numerous books and official electronic resources related to employee motivation, performance management and evaluation.
