Tools: a) Staff Nurse’s Questionnaire (consisted of PA Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Nurses’ Empowerment Questionnaire b) Head nurses’ Questionnaire. c) Delphi technique to develop staff nurses’ PA tool form. Results: Nurses’ mean total agreement on PAS was low. The majority of the study subjects were dissatisfied with the performance appraisal form currently used. Job satisfaction of staff nurses was low. High percentage of staff nurses were dissatisfied with their hospital PAS. There was a significant relationship between nurses’ satisfaction and the system of PA at the studied hospitals. Staff nurses were moderately empowered.
