    [abstract] => Having an effective performance appraisal approach in place trigger improved performance for employees as well as overall university performance. The effectiveness of performance appraisal approaches among employees in public universities in Kenya is not clear hence the need to examine the effectiveness of 360-degree feedback among employees of public universities in Kenya. The objective of the study was to establish the effectiveness of 360 Degree performance appraisal approach among employees of public universities in Kenya. Correlational research design with cross-sectional approach was adopted and stratified random sampling was used in the study. Target population was 991 employees from selected public universities in Kenya. A sample size of 302 was determined by proportional allocation method. Structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Reliability of the questionnaire was ascertained using Cronbach alpha coefficient where the alpha coefficient was (α = 0.863). Data analysis involved use of chi square analysis and SPSS analysis software for inferential statistics and descriptive statistics. Data was presented using tables, charts, graphs, mean, standard deviation. The study established that Pearson Chi-Square results for 360-degree appraisal approach and its effectiveness among employees was (χ2= 320.338, p < 0.05). The study recommends that 360-degree feedback appraisal be adopted by universities since it enables employees realize their potential and creates job confidence as well as improve on communications between supervisor and employees. The study may benefit the management of public universities, especially the human resource department by getting information on the effectiveness of performance appraisal approaches in the universities. Policy makers like Commission for University Education (CUE) may also benefit resulting in improved service delivery and productivity
