Résumé
This study examines whether performance appraisal works as a genuine criterion for promotion in an Algerian public health institution. We surveyed 90 employees of the Public Proximity Health Establishment (EPSP) of Hassasna, Saïda, using a questionnaire analysed in SPSS 24 (Cronbach's α = 0.657). Results show that 56.7% of respondents believe promotion rests on performance, a belief significantly associated with viewing promotion as a performance booster (χ² = 13.765, p = .001; r = .239, p = .023). The hypothesis that the establishment neglects appraisal as a promotion criterion was not supported (r = −.039, p = .712). Limited knowledge of the criteria, restricted access to scores, and the persistence of seniority nonetheless temper this picture. Concrete measures to improve transparency and appraisal regularity are proposed.
