This paper assesses the role of different organizational performance appraisal techniques in reference to employee engagement in contemporary firms. The research intends to analyze the motivational impacts of directed performance evaluations, like 360-degree feedback and continuous monitoring on commitment from the employees. The study employs qualitative methods through literature and theoretical analysis, drawing on the JD-R model alongside Self-Determination Theory and Organizational Justice Theory. Results indicate that active participation and provision of feedback within performance systems markedly increase engagement, whereas punitive evaluations without constructive feedback led to disengagement and attrition. The paper revolves around the developmental evaluation approach and the culture of engagement within the organization.
