Two data analysis approaches were used for the study that is the qualitative and quantitative method. In all, despite these lapses with performance appraisal observed, all the lecturers 331(100%) agreed that the basic purpose of performance appraisal is to facilitate orderly determination of an employee’s worth to the organization of which he is a part and the first step in the process of performance appraisal is the setting up of the standards which will be used as the base to compare the actual performance of the employees. It was then recommended that future research on performance appraisal in the Anglo-Saxon Higher Institutions in Cameroon studies should focus on leadership and the management of staff performance in institutions of higher learning. The research would focus on the style of leadership in an institution and how it influences the implementation of performance appraisal.
