What is a primary purpose of project performance appraisals?

  1. Punishing poor performance

  2. Setting project budgets

  3. Clarification of roles and responsibilities

  4. Choosing project leaders

The correct answer is: Clarification of roles and responsibilities

The primary purpose of project performance appraisals is to clarify roles and responsibilities within the project team. By conducting performance appraisals, project managers can ensure that each team member understands their role, responsibilities, and expectations within the project. This process helps in improving communication, accountability, and overall project efficiency. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because project performance appraisals are not primarily conducted for punishing poor performance, setting project budgets, or choosing project leaders. While these aspects might be influenced by performance appraisals indirectly, the main focus remains on clarifying roles and responsibilities for the project team members.
