The success of every system is defined on how effectively every employee's performance is assessed and managed. Performance management is an important part of every organization, and it has developed it in to a useful element for any company who wants to succeed. Organizational culture, often referred as productivity, applies to a company's real results as measured. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) was set up by Act No. 33 of 1977 with the core mandate to carry out exploration and production of hydrocarbon resources, refining, distribution and marketing of petroleum products nation-wide for the benefit of all Nigerians and other stakeholders. Therefore, this study will investigate whether there is performance management in NNPC and offer suitable performance management model for the organization. The study adopted multiple research designs where structured questionnaires were administered to three hundred and sixty-seven (367) staff of the Corporation. Data obtained from the field survey were statistically put to test using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that there is performance management at NNPC; however, it is ineffective to drive its productivity. Also, it is discovered that there exist a positive relationship of 74% between the Performance Management Model and Organizational Productivity. The result is significant as the p-value (of 0.000?5%, the criterion significance level). Besides, it is found that there is a suitable performance management model for NNPC. The study concludes that performance management is a panacea for enhancing/improving the productivity of the NNPC. Consequently, the study recommends, that management of NNPC should set-the-stage accurately by defining employee’s goals and aligning them with the corporate strategy. Also, to get the maximum support from employees, management should, from-time-to-time, conduct appraisal process including listening, observing, constructive feedback, and provision recognition, constructive analysis of employee’s performance.
