The results indicate a significant relationship between the respondent’s perception of the performance appraisal process and practices with respect to their job satisfaction. The results show that total mean score of trainers perceptions of the performance appraisal system and practices is (3.53). Furthermore, the results of the correlational analysis between trainers perception of the performance appraisal process and practices scores and the overall job satisfaction (r = .461). This indicates that the more efficient the performance appraisal process and practices, the higher the degree of self-reported job satisfaction.

The greater degree of total job satisfaction was reported when trainers percepiion of the performance appraisal process and practices fell within the awareness of performance measures, and outcomes (r = 0.446).
