Electronic Performance Appraisal (EPA) is a web-based appraisal system that can be defined as the system which uses the web (intranet and internet) to effectively evaluate the skills, knowledge and the performance of the employees which reduces the money. There are many past researches described on the comparison of traditional performance appraisal and online performance appraisal. Most of the researchers conducted studies and claimed that EPA brings more benefits to organizations compared to traditional performance appraisal. However, EPA has its own limitations for certain situations or aspects. In addition, it is no doubt that employees are important human capital of an organization. Hence, due to the uncertainty of effectiveness of EPA, importance of implementing EPA and importance of employee development, the researcher would like to conduct a research regarding on examining impact of EPA on employee productivity in organizations. To conduct this research, the researcher use descriptive research design and quantitative research method to collect data from employees who work at organizations that are currently practising EPA, in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur, Selangor. The findings of this research showed that performance tracking function and cost effectiveness by using EPA affects rate of employee productivity in organizations. This indicates that EPA enables organizations to increase employee productivity by allowing employees to obtain immediate feedback from top management regarding on room of improvement of working performance. As a result, employees are more engaged to work and improve their productivity. Hence, this research emphasized that EPA brings benefits to organizations in evaluating performance of employees and increasing employee productivity. In conclusion, it is recommended for this research about EPA to be further studied at different locations in order to obtain more precise information about Electronic Performance Appraisal.
