The use of performance appraisal schemes continues to grow.

Surveys conducted in the mid 70s revealed that at least 41 per cent of the organizations were using appraisal methods. ₂ As the application of performance appraisal becomes increasingly widespread, the search for greater objectivity in performance appraisal has been intensified., However, no conceptual framework has been developed to enable a more systematic analysis of the existing methods as well as for design ing new ones.
