The specific problem addressed in this study is whether the existing
employee performance evaluation (EPE) system of a selected state
corporation is effective. Two methods were used to examine· the
effectiveness of the EPE system, the first being the examination of each
element of the EPE system and the second being the examination of the
perception of the evaluatees and evaluators of each element of the EPE
system. To carryout the examination under each of the above methods two
hypotheses were formed. The first hypothesis was that the existing EPE
system adopted by the corporation is ineffective and the second hypothesis
was that the employees perceive the existing EPE system as an ineffective
system. To test the above hypotheses data were collected by using three
questionnaires, personal observations and interviews with randomly
selected personnel. The test of the first hypothesis reveals that almost all
the elements of the existing EPE system are poor except two elements,
namely the purposes and the policies which are moderately effective. The
test of the second hypothesis shows that employees of the corporation do
not agree with the existing EPE system duc to its ineffectiveness. Therefore,
the above results lead to the conclusion that overall existing EPE system in
the selected corporation is ineffective. To remedy ineffectiveness of the
existing EPE system some recommendations are made in this study.
