Abstract: Advisor :Temesgen Desta (Asst professor) This study investigates how Nekemte City Municipality employees' job satisfaction is affected by performance appraisal systems. Evaluating the impact of the performance appraisal system on job satisfaction is its main objective. Furthermore, the study seeks to determine how staff members see the system as a whole and its essential elements, such as standard setting, assessment forms, feedback methods, appeal procedures, and general attitudes about the system. This study employed a mixed research design, combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches to gain a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between performance appraisal and employee job satisfaction in Nekemte City Administration. A questionnaire was used to gather information from 186 municipal workers, and secondary data about the performance appraisal system was taken from the sector administration handbook. The findings indicate that clarity of appraisal criteria, fairness in evaluation, feedback quality, and the use of results for employee development significantly affect job satisfaction levels. Conversely, lack of transparency and perceived bias in appraisals were found to demotivate employees and lower satisfaction. The study concludes that an effective and fair performance appraisal system is essential for enhancing employee morale, retention, and productivity. Recommendations are provided for policy makers and human resource managers to improve the appraisal processes in the city administration to better align with employee expectations and organizational goals.
