This study deals with the employee fairness perceptions of their performance management system
in a South African organisation. The concept of justice, with particular reference to procedural,
distributive and interactional justice, is used as a guide in assessing employee perceptions of
fairness of the organisations’ performance management system. A qualitative approach was used
to gain an in-depth understanding of employee perceptions of fairness based on their personal
experiences of the organisation’s performance management system.
Data was obtained through extensive semi structured interviews with 20 employees who had been
with the organisation and participated in the performance management system for 5 or more
years. All interviews were transcribed and assessed using a thematic analysis. The overall
findings show that there are negative fairness perceptions of the performance management
system as assessed according to the three organisational justice factors of procedural, distributive
and interactional justice. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology) / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
