Abstract: This study sought to determine the relationship between performance assessment and employee performance in Rwanda, Nyagatare District Local Government. The researcher adopted a cross-sectional design using a sample of 131 respondents. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses. It was established that performance assessment positively significantly predicted employee performance. It was hence concluded that performance assessment from colleagues and the public significantly influences employee performance. It was thus recommended that government agencies including local governments other organisations should promote performance assessment by colleagues and public as priorities in employee assessment.

Key words: performance assessment, employee performance

I. INTRODUCTION

Organisations have apparently prospered based on their existing human resources. Human resources are probably the only resource that must be available for the organization to function, the size or quality of human resource notwithstanding (Obong’o, 2014). It is important that business owners and employers realise the essential role played by this resource and the success that is brought thereby in terms of skills and abilities that they exhibit (Price, 2007).

Theoretical Review

The theory that underpinned this study was the Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory which the hygiene and motivation factors theory. This theory which according to Chandan (2010) unveils certain factors in that cause job satisfaction leading to job performance, and a separate set of factors that cause dissatisfaction will be the basis of this study. Akrani (2010) states that Herzberg’s theory of motivation is also called ‘Two Factor Theory’, ‘Dual Factor Theory’ and ‘Hygiene/ Maintenance Theory of Motivation’.
