        abstract = {The formal performance appraisal has been identified as a critical management tool and control process in human resources allocation. Almost every organization, formally or informally, undergoes periodic performance appraisal rituals. This paper identifies and prioritizes the key factors affecting the performance appraisal system of construction industries. Fifty-three factors organized under ten groups were used for this study. Data were collected from three levels of management using a weighted scale of 1 to 4. The Relative Importance Index (RII) was employed to rank the factors. Results indicate that cost of materials and equipment, unavailability of resources, conformance to specification, site conditions, sequence of work as per schedule, leadership skill, employee motivation, accident rates, knowledge from experience, and climatic conditions are the highest-ranked factors in their respective groups. Identification and prioritization of these factors enables project management teams to effectively evaluate and improve performance appraisal systems through continuous monitoring of employee performance against predetermined standards.},
