Abstract: Abstract Knowing more in depth the process of employees’ performance process is important especially because it enables the identification of those characteristics that should be treated with an increased interest in order to improve organizational performance and finally the employees’ motivation and productivity. The aim of the study is to highlight the key characteristics of the employee performance appraisal process in the Romanian companies using an empirical research based on a sample of 301 employees from micro-enterprises (21.9%), small enterprises (32.9%), medium enterprises (23.6%) and large companies (21.6%). The main research question of the study is: there are some significant differences regarding the employees’ performance evaluation according to the company size? In order to respond to this question, descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis test) were used. The empirical results revealed that in most companies the evaluation of the employees’ performance is done once per year, the main elements of interest being the quality of work and the knowledge level of the job. The majority of employees from all kind of companies declared that as a result of the assessments made in the last 3 years, their salary has increased, but the employees from large companies tend to be more satisfied with the results of the evaluations. Asked if they have been led to increase their professional training, only employees from large companies declared that they have participated in internal courses.
