Performance appraisal for evaluation using the traditional approach has served the following purposes:
 Promotion, separation, and transfer decisions
 Feedback to the employee regarding how the organization viewed the employee's performance
 Evaluations of relative contributions made by individuals and entire departments in achieving higher level organization goals
 Criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of selection and placement decisions, including the relevance of the information used in the decisions within the organization
 Reward decisions, including merit increases, promotions, and other rewards
