Consistency in recognition or rewards is essential to ensure fairness in performance evaluation. When employees perceive that rewards and recognitions are distributed based on uniform criteria and consistent standards, it fosters a sense of equity among the workforce. Employees are more likely to view the evaluation process as just and unbiased when they see that everyone is evaluated and rewarded under the same guidelines. This fairness contributes to maintaining morale and trust within the organization, encouraging employees to perform to the best of their ability.

While minimizing conflicts among employees, increasing clarity, and enhancing employee motivation are also important, the foundation of these outcomes often lies in the perception of fairness. If employees feel that evaluations and rewards are fair, they are more likely to be motivated, less likely to engage in conflicts, and understand their roles and expectations within the organization. Thus, the focus on fairness through consistent practices in recognition and rewards directly supports the integrity of the performance evaluation process.
