for promotion by the senior reporting officer and then the officer under goes in a procedure for the promotion.

Critical Analysis:

• The performance evaluation system of Pakistan army is well designed as has fewer errors in the system

• Pakistan Army should introduce incentive pays or bonuses to encourage good performance of the officer and motivate other officers to work with passion for the Pakistan army

• . The reporting officer should avoid personal interests while evaluating the officer so he may get the evaluation what he deserves

• The senior and next reporting officer should more critically analyze the evaluation reported by the first reporting officer so if any biasness exist is monitored and no injustice is done to the evaluating officer
