Karen Joy A. Catacutan

 

Abstract:

Performance Evaluation System (PES) is a very important tool in human resource management. One of the purposes of PES is to motivate employees in order to perform better in their respective jobs. However, perception on PES varies from one employee to another and the results draw a significant factor in the motivation of some employees while some are not even moved by it. The main objective of this study is to discern the perception of the University of St. Louis College faculty on the PES used by the University in measuring performance and how PES results affect their motivation. Descriptive survey method was employed using a researcher-designed and validated questionnaire to gather needed information. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency count, percent and mean, as well as T-test, ANOVA and Pearson coefficient correlation. It was found that there is a high acceptance on the current PES used in the University and PES affects the motivation of the college faculty to a high extent. Profile variables do not impose significant difference on the perception of PES except when grouped according to the Department they belong. Finally, there is a significant relationship between the perception of college faculty on the PES and their motivation.
