Abstract

This review paper examines the nexus between performance appraisal, motivation, and teachers' job
performance, synthesizing insights from eleven relevant articles. Effective performance management processes
are pivotal in facilitating transparent communication of expectations and outcomes between employers and
employees. The significance of teachers' motivation in driving productivity underscores the importance of
establishing objective assessment criteria for evaluating their job performance. The complexity of work
performance judgments necessitates a multifaceted approach to assessment aimed at enhancing the credibility
of the evaluation process. Furthermore, feedback from both immediate supervisors and colleagues emerges as a
valuable tool in fostering the professional development of teachers. This paper sheds light on the interplay
between performance appraisal, motivation, and teachers' job performance, offering valuable insights for
educators, administrators, and policymakers.
