INTRODUCTION
1.1    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The objective of every organization apart from providing goods and services and making profit within the environment that they operate is to also have an efficient and effective manpower or human resources. It is a well developed, efficient and effective manpower that will help in achieving its objectives. The survival of most organization depends on its ability to take stock of its manpower with regards to its present performance, likes, dislikes, strength, failure, expectations of every individual or employee and also his her potential for growth.
According to Obisi (1996), in today's ever competitive economy characterized by risk-taking, organizations, must survive, and the key to such survival is a revitalized human resources. Neither billions of Naira nor the state of the art technology and machines can do the miracle if human resource is neglected and forgotten. Employees who have what it takes, he continued: skills, talents, capabilities, experience, qualification, and genuine work culture, who are problem solvers, are not readily available. It is necessary, that organizations nurture, nourish, and develop its human resources through performance appraisal, performance counseling, potential appraisal and performance review.
According to Koontz et al (1982), knowing how well an employee performs is really the only way to ensure that those occupying the managerial positions are actually managing effectively. For, if an organization is to reach its goals effectively and efficiently, ways of management performance must be found and implanted. Thus, they opined that organizations need to adopt the best method of preference decisions about employees so as to get the maximum benefit from their use that will eventually lead to their achieving their objectives.
Furthermore, Pigors and Myers (1982) advised that systematic performance appraisal should be adopted as a means of helping supervisors to, evaluate the work of each employee. The appraisals, they opined, should be most frequently used as a basis for selecting candidates for promotion to jobs and for making "merit" increases in salaries. They also believe that appraisals are useful as a check on the success of recruitment, selection, placement, and training procedures and generally for employee productivity.
Thus, it is this influence of performance appraisal on the overall employee productivity with emphasis on MTN Nigeria Communications PIc that the present researcher wishes to undertake.
 1.2    STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The performance appraisal system has long been practiced in the company, and has been used as an integral part of managing. It is of course, important to management development because if an employee's strengths and weaknesses are not known, it is only accidental if development efforts were aimed in the right direction.
Thus, the major problems which this research study will seek to resolve are in the following forms.
Firstly, in the recent past most of the employees highly rated have been found to practically perform even disillusionment with respect to employee appraisal, and this has raised doubt on the bases of measuring and evaluation.
Secondly, arising from the above are reported incidences of halo-effect appraisals as supervisors tend to appraise employees on the basis of love or hate. This has not augured well for the company as it discovers to its chagrin the negative impact of this on employee productivity.
Lastly, employees' performances have been found to be evaluated inaccurately or against standards that are inapplicable, inadequate or subjective.
