In a casual sense, perfor­mance appraisal is as old

as mankind itself. In an official sense, performance


appraisal of an individual began in the Wei dynasty
(AD. 261-265) in China, where an Imperial Rater
appraised the performance of the official family’. In
1883, the New York City Civil Service in USA
introduced a official appraisal programme shortly
before World War . However, official appraisal of
employees’ performance is thought to have been
started for the first time during the First World War,
when at the instance of Walter Dill Scott, the US
Army: adopted the “Man-to-man’ rating system for
evaluating personnel. For being fair and unbiased,
in judging the employee it is necessary to
reviewthe performance of the person in the
organization. This is now done in a systematic way
in most countries of the world. The evaluation of
an individual’s performance in the organization is
called Performance Appraisal.
