    A productive performance management system in a highly competitive working environment can be a vital success factor. The study examines the impact of performance management system on employees‟ productivity in the public sector in Ghana. A case study of Asokore Mampong municipal assembly in the Ashanti region. The study used deductive approach. The research population comprised employees of Asokore Mampong Municipal Assembly out of which a sample size of 133 was sampled for the analysis. The sources of data were mainly primary source. The researcher adopted purposive sampling techniques in soliciting information for the study. Statistical package for Social Science (SPSS) and Microsoft excel was used in analyzing the data. The study established that, employee performance appraisals impact positively on employee productivity given that, the regression coefficient was positive which was significant. Again, employee reward systems have a positive impact on employee productivity given that the regression coefficient was positive. Thus, individual reward systems have strong effect on employee productivity. Thus, if the individual reward is improved by onepercent employee productivity will improved. Furthermore, the study concluded that, training and development had a positive impact on employee productivity given that the coefficients were all positive. Thus, if the training and development strategies are improved the Impact on employee productivity will be improved. The result is in consistence with Joy Emery (850), Black and Lynch (1996), Evans and Lindsay (1999) and De Cenzo and Robbins (1996). The study recommended that, training and development should be seen not only as the thread that ties together all human resource practices, but also as the instrument for establishing and signaling when and how work practices should change.
