Abstract: - The aim of this study is to determine the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning System of human
resources on the employees’ performance Appraisal in Jordan. It investigates the relationship between System
Quality, Information Quality, Service Quality, User Satisfaction; and Performance Appraisal. The study was
motivated because most of the literature about ERP systems in Jordan has focused on the success and failure
factors of the ERP systems. Jordanian National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) was chosen to conduct the
study because it has implemented a new electronic performance appraisal system based on the ERP system. Data
were collected via questionnaires from 98 managers and department heads working at Jordanian National
Electric Power Company (NEPCO). The results of this study revealed that there is a significant effect of System
Quality, Information Quality and User Satisfaction of Enterprise Resource Planning System on Performance
Appraisal, while Service Quality has no effect on Performance Appraisal. Therefore, the important
recommendation is to improve the service quality of the system and to bring encouragement and confident to the
users towards the success of the system.

Key-Words: - ERP System, System Quality, Service Quality, Information Quality, User Satisfaction,
Performance Appraisal, Jordan, NEPCO.
