ABSTRACT:- This study examined the effect of performance appraisal on employee performance in selected National Teachers Colleges in Uganda. The selected collages included: Kabale, Mubende and Kariro National Teachers collages. The objectives of the study were to assess the effects of performance standards, performance measurement and result dissemination on Employees’ Performance in selected National Teachers’ Colleges. The study employed a descriptive research design where data from 139 respondents was collected and analyzed quantitatively corroborated with qualitative analysis and frequency tables were used to present the data. At the bivariate level, a Pearson correlation matrix was conducted to ascertain the relationships between the predictor variables and the dependent variable.  A linear regression model was used to fit the data. Research findings from the regression model show that performance standards (R=862), performance measurement (R=756) and result dissemination (R=829) have a positive significance on the employee’s performance at National Teachers’ Colleges. The main conclusion drawn from this research is that Performance appraisal is a systematic evaluation of employee performance, which is crucial in educational settings, particularly in tertiary institutions like National Teachers’ Colleges. It serves multiple purposes, including enhancing employee performance, providing feedback, and identifying areas for professional development. In the context of NTCs, the effectiveness of performance appraisal systems can significantly influence overall employee performance and institutional success. Therefore, the study suggests that in order for National Teachers’ Colleges to become accustomed to making financial performance, more work needs to be done on performance standards, performance assessment, and result distribution.
