Abstract Performance appraisal is one of the most important tools used by organizations for evaluating employee performance, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and improving organizational effectiveness. The present study focused on the effectiveness of the performance appraisal system in a government organization. The research was conducted among 120 middle-level employees of a government organization in Vadodara. The study examined employees’ perceptions regarding the existing appraisal system, including its transparency, fairness, communication process, training needs, motivation, and the relationship between rewards and performance. The findings revealed that employees considered performance appraisal an important tool for performance improvement, promotion, training, and employee development. However, certain limitations such as communication gaps, bias in evaluation, and lack of employee participation were also identified. The study concluded that an effective and transparent performance appraisal system enhanced employee motivation, organizational commitment, and overall efficiency. Furthermore, the findings align with Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by promoting productive employment and fair work practices, and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) by supporting transparency, accountability, and effective institutional systems.
