However, politics in performance appraisal which is a critical process of reward determination in the organizations remains under-researched. Against this backdrop, the study investigates the relationship of employees’ Perceptions of Performance Appraisal Politics (POPAP) with the employees’ organizational outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intention among the full time working (executive) MBA students in Bangladesh. The results of this study on the 67 executive MBA students selected from the four business schools in Bangladesh confirms that the employees’ POPAP for punishment motive significantly reduces their job satisfaction and organizational commitment and encourages them to quit the organization. Contrarily, the employees’ POPAP with a motivational motive, increases job satisfaction and organizational commitment and reduces the turnover intention of the employees. The study also opens up a broad avenue for research in the performance appraisal politics in Bangladesh.

Abstract


Politics is assumed to be woven into every fabric of lives in Bangladesh. Politics is also indicated to occur in the managers’ use of power in ascertaining and distributing rewards for the employees. However, politics in performance appraisal which is a critical process of reward determination in the organizations remains under-researched. Against this backdrop, the study investigates the relationship of employees’ Perceptions of Performance Appraisal Politics (POPAP) with the employees’ organizational outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intention among the full time working (executive) MBA students in Bangladesh. The results of this study on the 67 executive MBA students selected from the four business schools in Bangladesh confirms that the employees’ POPAP for punishment motive significantly reduces their job satisfaction and organizational commitment and encourages them to quit the organization. Contrarily, the employees’ POPAP with a motivational motive, increases job satisfaction and organizational commitment and reduces the turnover intention of the employees. The study also opens up a broad avenue for research in the performance appraisal politics in Bangladesh.
