Abstract
Nursing performance appraisal is among the most critical human resource functions that bring global success for one organization. It is a powerful tool to calibrate, refine and reward the performance of the nurses. It helps to analyze their achievements and evaluate their contribution towards the achievements of the organizational goals.

A good perception will create a positive working environment in the organization, while a negative perception will affect the organization performance.
