Effective performance appraisal (EPA) is indispensable to organizations in establishing their accomplishments as well as improving employees’ performance. Previous literature has indicated the impacts of organizational fairness, organizational politics, transactional leadership and employee’s participation on performance appraisal (PA). The objective of this study is to confirm the validity and reliability of the research instruments in examining the relationships between organizational fairness, Politics, transactional leadership, and employees’ participation on EPA among academics in Nigeria. A survey method was employed, and a total of 40 questionnaires set was distributed to respondents via convenience sampling. Results confirmed the validity and reliability of the instruments adapted.
