A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 39 professional nurses who were involved in managing the work performance of employees. The data were analysed quantitatively with Statistical Analysis System version 8.2 software.Results: The respondents had limited knowledge about the implementation of the performance management and development system.Conclusion: There is a need for educational initiatives before, during and after the implementation of the PMDS, such as quarterly PMDS workshops and routine catch-uptraining. These would address the lack of knowledge of respondents as seen from the results. | |
