Data were collected through survey of 127 managers and employees. Overall results reveal that in Pakistani public and private sector organizations, awareness level about outcomes of effective performance appraisal is more than factors that can make harm to the effectiveness of performance appraisal. Managers have different views from employees regarding detriments to PA effectiveness whereas, regarding outcomes of PA effectiveness, male and female managers/operatives have different views.
