The research population consisted of all employees in departments of cooperatives, work and social welfare at Lorestan and Zanjan provinces, which among them 182 people responded to the questionnaire. Content validity and reliability through using Cronbach's Alpha questionnaire was approved. Based on the findings, there is a significant relationship between all variables. The highest correlation coefficient was among performance appraisal effectiveness and providing proper feedback (0.697), commitment to Islamic values (0.694), and certain objectives (0.683) respectively. Results showed that setting certain objectives has a significant effect on proper appraisal measures and performance appraisal effectiveness. According to analysis, the effect of proper appraisal measures on implementing appraisal properly and performance appraisal effectiveness was positive and significant.
