%X Employee¡¯s performance is a major issue in an organization. It is important to acknowledge the potential negative impact it may have on the appraisees¡¯ emotions and psychology, which can lead to negative workplace behaviors. Based on the frustration-aggression theory and social exchange theory, the article constructs a relationship model between assessment-based performance appraisal and coworker rejection, and analyzes the mediating role of interpersonal trust. Using multi-temporal valid data from 351 employees from three enterprises, the regression modeling method and Bootstrap method were used for empirical testing. The results of the study show that assessment-based performance appraisal significantly and positively predicts employees¡¯ perceived coworker rejection, and interpersonal trust mediates the relationship between assessment-based performance appraisal and coworker rejection. Organizations can leverage these findings to support managers in identifying negative functions of organizational HRM practices and enhance employee well-being for a more productive and supportive work environment. The findings from the analysis emphasize the importance of management potential in shaping better employee experiences and organizational success.
