The current performance management system (PMS) in some Saudi organizations is not satisfactory as it specifically links performance assessment with employees’ performance, which contradicts the literature on strategic human resource management. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between performance assessment and employee performance from the perspective of performance management systems and social exchange theory. The study collected 100 valid responses from employees working in the IT department. Firstly, the study examines the direct impact of performance assessment on employees performance. Additionally, it posits that the relationship between performance assessment and employee performance can be improved with a solid strategic performance management system. Based on the literature review, quantitative, and qualitative analysis, the study indicates that performance planning and performance review play a considerable role in the relationship between performance assessment and employee performance. This is because employee performance, attitude, and behaviors may not change significantly without proper performance planning. Similarly, transparency in the performance assessment process through performance review can positively affect the relationship between performance assessment and employee performance. Thus, it is concluded that employees perceive improved performance through efficient and fair performance assessment reviews and performance planning.

Employee motivation describes an employee‘s intrinsic enthusiasm about and drives to accomplish work. Every employee is motivated about something in his or her life. Motivating employees about work is the combination of fulfilling the employee's needs and expectations from work and workplace factors that enable employee motivation or not. These variables make motivating employees challenging. Information about motivating employees is readily available but it‘s hard to apply the ideas in many workplaces. Too many workplaces still act as if the employee should be grateful to have a job. Managers are on power trips and employee policies and procedures are formulated based on the assumption that you cannot trust employees to do the right thing. Communication is never transparent and there is always a secret message or a hidden agenda. Motivating employees in this work environment is tough, if not impossible. Fortunately, most work environments are not in this extreme. They each have their own set of problems, but managers appreciate that motivating employees will bring positive results for the Organization. This study used a multi-method approach. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected to answer the research questions. Both interviews and questionnaires were used to gather these data and analysis were done using words, graphs, tables and statistics. The one on one interviews and the administration of questionnaires was of an enormous help to the researcher for effective comparison of all responses. After the study it was found that motivation serves as a factor which influenced performance and hence increases productivity. It is therefore important that employees of Phinphonrat Tangtrongjit 12 School are well motivated to ensure continuous good performance in terms of student’s development, competitions and external examination results.
