One essential component of asuccessful appraisal system is the existence of clear and well communicatedgoals. Without an understood standard, the evaluation has little meaning. Thereis a great deal of evidence stating that particiation is an important part ofimplementing an appraisal system.

Reality is, in most cases, too complex to expect an organisationto proceed directly from the accomplishment of one goal to another.
