Abstract

This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of Open Performance Review and Appraisal System in improving employee’s performance at Busega District Council in Tanzania. Specifically, the study examined the effect of openness, participation, feedback and individual accountability during implementation of OPRAS in improving employee’s performance. The study applied the explanatory research design and random sampling was used to obtain a sample size of 133 employees. The data collected were analysed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that openness and participation during implementation of OPRAS has negative effect on employee’s performance at Busega District. Besides, the findings revealed that provision of performance feedback during implementation of OPRAS significantly increases employees’ performance. Moreover, the findings revealed existence of positive but statistically insignificant effect of individual accountability on employees’ performance. Based on these results, the study concludes that, among the four features of OPRAS studied, only provision of feedback has positive and significant effect on employee’s performance at Busega district council. Thus, this study recommends that, for effective implementation of OPRAS which results into increased employee’s performance, the management of Busega district council should pay more attention on providing feedback to employees. Keywords: OPRAS, openness, participation, feedback and accountability
