Abstract:
This paper seeks to demonstrate the central role of performance leadership and procedural justice in
forming member attitudes to performance management practice in Africa basing on the themes presented
in performance management literature and an empirical examination of quantitative data from a sample
of 1010 employees from four organisations in South Africa and Uganda. The authors examine
hypothesised links between leadership and procedural justice, leadership and member perceptions of the
character of the existing performance management systems and the effect of these member perceptions of
the existent system on performance management practice. The findings point to the need to move from
performance management to performance leadership ecologies with emphasis on organisational justice.
