Outline of Final Research Achievements	The studies examined the factors improving an effective utilization of performance appraisal (PA). Results suggested that goal setting and PA interview would be related to the utilization. Supervisor’s participative approach and instrumental support in goal setting had positive effects on goal attainment behavior. In PA interview, supervisor’s behaviors making an opportunity for voice, clarifying the present level and the goal level, and his/her knowledge about subordinates’ job had influences on subordinates’ perceived utility of PA and satisfaction with PA linking to utilization of PA. Supervisor’s behavior to improve subordinates’ learning in PA interview was related to their learning behaviors during the period of evaluation.
