Purpose

Performance appraisal (PA) is one of the most indispensable human resource management practices as many critical decisions regarding employees’ performance are heavily based on the PA results as they are responsible for various attitude-related outcomes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between PA justice and affective commitment (AC) of employees in the Indian banking sector, and to examine the moderating effects of age and gender on this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

A total of 298 employees from the banking sector were randomly selected to examine the relationship between PA justice and AC along with the moderating role of age and gender on this relationship through structural equation modelling using AMOS 21.

Findings

The findings of the study supported hypothesized relationships as PA justice significantly predicted the AC of bank employees in India. The moderating effects of age and gender on the relationship of PA justice and AC are found to be high for older employees and female employees, respectively.

Research limitations/implications

As the present study was cross-sectional, so any inferences regarding causality are limited. Theoretical and managerial implications have been discussed in the context of banking sector.

Originality/value

The paper contributes new insights to the existing literature by examining the moderating effects of age and gender on the relationship of PA justice and AC in the context of Indian banking sector.

绩效评价公正与情感承诺：考察年龄和性别的调节作用

目的

绩效评估 (PA) 是最不可或缺的人力资源管理实践之一，因为许多关于员工绩效的关键决策很大程度上取决于 PA 结果，因为它们负责各种与态度相关的结果。本研究旨在调查 PA 正义与印度银行业员工的情感承诺 (AC) 之间的关系，并检验年龄和性别对这种关系的调节作用。

设计/方法/方法

通过使用 AMOS 21 的结构方程建模，随机选择了来自银行业的 298 名员工，以检查 PA 正义与 AC 之间的关系以及年龄和性别对这种关系的调节作用。

发现

该研究的结果支持假设的关系，因为 PA 正义显着预测了印度银行员工的 AC。年龄和性别对 PA 正义和 AC 关系的调节作用分别在老年员工和女性员工中较高。

研究限制/影响

由于本研究是横断面的，因此有关因果关系的任何推论都是有限的。已经在银行业的背景下讨论了理论和管理方面的影响。

原创性/价值

本文通过研究印度银行业背景下年龄和性别对 PA 司法和 AC 关系的调节作用，为现有文献提供了新的见解。
