With the help of a questionnaire, data was collected from 56 mid-sized firms, having a formal human resource (HR) department and employing 50 to 250 personnel. The results show that adoption of performance appraisal system (PAS) and its level of formalization in mid-sized Indian firms is relatively low. Also, the results do not indicate significant differences among firms' approaches towards PA practices, as far as different types of industries are concerned. However, a few differences exist in aspects of 'criteria' used for evaluation of employees and 'purpose' of appraisal results but there are no significant differences in rest of the appraisal system dimensions.

Frequency distribution and "t-test" were applied to examine the perceived fairness and to identify the differences between perception of employees belonging to private and public banks. Employees perceived their appraisal system to be moderately fair and, did not appear to be highly satisfied with the system. Significant differences were found among perceived fairness and satisfaction of two sets of respondents. Overall findings of the study call for substantial improvements in existing appraisal practices.

The study used data from 219 employees belonging to two public sector banks and two private sector banks in India, and factor analysis was applied to confirm the structure of justice and outcome measures.
