Findings revealed that there is a moderately strong and statistically significant positive correlation (r=0.411) between Performance standards and Employees Performance, that there is also a moderate and statistically significant positive correlation (r= 0.472) between Performance measurement and Employees’ Performance and a moderate and statistically significant positive correlation (r= 0.460) between Result dissemination and employee performance.
