CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
Appraisal is synonymous with evaluation. An evaluation of managerial supervisory performance appraisal system in Nigeria which is the topic for this study has to do with the assessment of the performance of those entrusted with the supervision or management of the organization. In other words it has to do with the evaluation of how effectively and efficiently they have been able to carry out their function of planning, co – ordination, directing and controlling decision making in the organization to fulfill the objectives for which the organization was set up to achieve. These objectives are to serve as a medium of communication, enriching the life of the Nigeria by influencing his social cultural, political and technological thinking. More so as educate and inform all these at a profit to the organization.
Objectives appraisal is good for any organization because it help one to know where he or she is as contracted to where he or she wants or ought to be Vis Avis the achievement of his / her goals and the difference. This enables him or her to plan effectively and more efficiently too.
In the worker place, the management (I.e. The operational) engages in the appraisal of subordinates from time to time. They evaluate the contribution capabilities and short coming of the subordinate with a view to knowing their performance. The result obtained can lead to promotions, recommendation for promotion, or even dismissal. There is no other way to do this if not through his output, displayed positive and negative attributes. It is no gain saying that performance appraisal is invaluable planning, coordinating, policy formation, decision making and control.
The employees on the other hand engage in some form of informal appraisal of self, co – workers, supervisors and managers. So they are not totally ignorant of rating of these people. Since “formal” performance appraisal is used for most appointment, pay raises, promotion, down grading and dismissal. And employees of human resources being the most important assets of the organization. Managers and supervisors most exercise utmost care in doing this. This is poorly evaluated; it will surely affect his morale and attitude to work. This will result in lower productivity.
Again if a bad worker is rated higher than the good ones, the moral of the good workers would be damped as this would be a clear testimony or indication that their hard worker and contributions were not taken into cognizance in the appraisal process.
Appraisal in public service is full of paradoxes and love hate intrigues. Staff performance appraisal not done with objectivity, honesty and fair play breeds’ resentment, disillusionment and a host of other things that are inimical to the progress of the organization.
Robert stolz a management consultant believes and rightly too that with a right kind of appraisal a real industrial need to fulfilled staff appraisal are carried out in organization for administration, informative and motivational purpose.

Consequently we observe escalating frustration, low debilitating internal policies and low productivity everywhere. This accounts for why many civil servant idle away time at offices if and when they come to work as a place to collect monthly salaries and allowances without working for them conscientiously.
