Longitudinal evaluation shows performance management system alters employee attitudes, with implications for motivation.

This research examines how introducing a performance management system affects employee attitudes and self-reported work effort.
Longitudinal evaluation conducted in a small government organization
Focused on employees' attitudes and self-reported effort before and after PMS implementation
Explored attributions for rating discrepancies among employees
Organizational commitment significantly increased during performance planning, then slightly decreased but remained above baseline
Low performers reported higher satisfaction and cooperation with supervisors post-PMS; high performers showed a decline after appraisals
Most employees who received lower ratings externalized the blame, yet this did not significantly impact their attitudes or effort

Taylor et al. (1999) studied this question.
