Abstract
This research was conducted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of Masters of Business Administration. The research was about Factors that inhibit the effective utilization of performance appraisal: The Case Study of Selected NGOs Based in Dar es Salaam. This was an attempt to find out the performance appraisal practice in LNGOs, and challenges that they are facing in administering formal performance appraisal to their employees and recommend best approaches to overcome such challenges. The researcher employed descriptive design with clear and specific narration of facts with an overview of the LNGOs working context in Tanzania. The research discovered that, LNGOs use traditional secretive approach to Performance Appraisal (PA) and that; there is no formal PA programme in most of LNGOs. These practices and approaches are out dated and highly discouraged by most human resources professionals, LNGOs staff and other stakeholders. The researcher noted that formal and open PA practices are the most appropriate and mostly desired by LNGOs staff. The researcher recommended that NGOs, the donor community and the government have an important role to play to collectively promote effective utilization of performance appraisal in NGOs. This is possible by making PA programme a mandatory undertaking to be reported on a yearly basis the same as financial and development programme activities report
