Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS (version 25.0) descriptively and inferentially, while qualitative data was analyzed thematically. The findings showed the R-value from the model summary of the regression between self-efficacy and performance appraisal was 0.617. The R square value was 0.381, which implied 38.1 % effect on self-efficacy was attributed to teacher appraisal. The findings show significant effect of self-efficacy on performance appraisal. Therefore, performance appraisal for teachers needs to be enhanced since it plays a significant role in boosting their confidence, thus their self-efficacy.
