Abstract
Although researchers have indicated the potential importance of rater motivation for understanding and improving performance appraisal processes, little empirical research or conceptual writing has addressed this topic. The purpose of this paper is to offer a model of the antecedents and outcomes of appraiser motivation, and suggest hypotheses for research. Researchers are encouraged to conduct further research on this important issue.Keywords
