      abstract = {This study examines the relationship between the frequency of performance appraisals and employee productivity in the Busia County Government, Kenya. Using a descriptive research design, the study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods, collecting data from 425 employees through questionnaires, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between appraisal frequency and employee productivity (? = 0.392, p < 0.001). However, in a multiple regression model controlling for other performance appraisal practices, frequency showed the smallest unique contribution (? = 0.112, p = 0.003), suggesting that while regular appraisals are important, other aspects of the appraisal process may have a more substantial impact on productivity. The study provides empirical evidence for policymakers and human resource practitioners in county governments regarding the optimal frequency of performance appraisals and their role in enhancing employee productivity.},
