The findings revealed ineffectiveness in PMS and suggested that moving towards effectiveness requires setting goals and objectives, providing ongoing feedback, conducting accurate performance appraisal, fairness of performance appraisal, pay for performance, meeting training and development needs, promotion decisions, management commitment to the PM process, the involvement of teachers in developing the PMS and their understanding of the purpose of the PMS. Therefore, this study has proposed recommendations to overcome the shortcomings of the existing system and to enhance teachers’ satisfaction with their PM.</abstract><type>E-Thesis</type><journal/><volume/><journalNumber/><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher/><placeOfPublication>Swansea</placeOfPublication><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic/><keywords>Human resources, Performance Management, Performance appraisal</keywords><publishedDay>8</publishedDay><publishedMonth>6</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2021</publishedYear><publishedDate>2021-06-08</publishedDate><doi>10.23889/SUthesis.57469</doi><url/><notes>A selection of third party content is redacted or is partially redacted from this thesis due to copyright restrictions.</notes><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><supervisor>Debrah, Yaw A. ; Finniear, Jocelyn</supervisor><degreelevel>Doctoral</degreelevel><degreename>Ph.D</degreename><degreesponsorsfunders>Saudi Ministry of Education</degreesponsorsfunders><apcterm/><lastEdited>2021-07-28T17:07:17.0836920</lastEdited><Created>2021-07-28T14:12:19.5276276</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Management - Business Management</level></path><authors><author><firstname>NADA</firstname><surname>ALSHAIKHI</surname><order>1</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>Under embargo</filename><originalFilename>Under embargo</originalFilename><uploaded>2021-07-28T15:24:59.3905295</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>4204825</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Redacted version - open access</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><embargoDate>2026-07-06T00:00:00.0000000</embargoDate><documentNotes>Copyright: The author, Nada Alshaikhi, 2021.</documentNotes><copyrightCorrect>true</copyrightCorrect><language>eng</language></document></documents><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
