Abstract: This study examined the appraisal processes and the effective measurement of employees’ performance in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The population for the study is made up of the entire 8,827 civil servants in the ministries, departments and agencies of Ekiti State, Nigeria. Kumaran model (1976) was used to draw a sample size of 383 respondents. Structured questionnaire was administered on the respondents. Out of the 383 copies of questionnaire sent out, 305 were returned. Data collected were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis. Testing for hypothesis 1, the value of correlation coefficient; r was 0.793 indicating a strong, significant and positive relationship between performance appraisal process and measurement of employees’ performance at 0.05 level of significance. The r-Square value for the model showed that 62.8 percent (R2=0.628) of the variance in the measurement of employees’ performances can be predicted from the independent variable (appraisal process). The Durbin-Watson statistics stood at 1.760 which confirmed the absence of serial autocorrelation in the due to large sample. The t and p-values showed that appraisal process had significant effect on the measurement of employees’ performances (t=22.640, p<0.05).The t and p-values showed that the variable (performance appraisal process) significantly predicts the dependent variable-employees’ performance (F=512.568; p<0.05).
