A total of 100 respondents were asked to fill the questionnaires and responded positively. Data collected were processed using the SPSS software package to obtain percentages and frequencies regarding various parameters also Chi-square tests were used to test significance level. The results from the study revealed that there is a significant difference among employees’ perception on OPRAS operationalization based on number of years worked, level of education and involvement in the performance appraisal practices.
