Abstract: The modernization of the management of public institutions faces difficulties on different leves, first one being that most of the strategic management studies are done on private firms. The private and public sector differ vastly. The first one is motivated by profit, competitiveness, growth and does not face the same challenges as the later, such as heightened public scrutiny, demands of transparency and a sense of entitlement from the public. As such, it is demanding to apply the same strategies used in the private sector to the public sector. The present article proposes the exploration of an appraisal system as a key strategy for improving the management of public institutions. In it’s self, an appraisal relies on first acknowledging one’s contribution, second, underlining the value of said contribution. By appreciating employees’ work we can encourage engagement, improve motivation, uplift performance, mediate a better relationship between the appraiser and the appraisee. Understanding the benefits of the appraisal on a basic level highlights it’s importance in obtaining an improved organizational dynamic in public institutions. Applying such a strategy into the management of public organizations can be quite challenging, with it being more so in regard to military institutions that rely heavily on hierarchy and discipline, in which employees are required to follow orders, thus diminishing their sense of a worthy input.
