Human resources are essential to the attainment of any organizational goals. It serves as a lubricant for the success of the organization by galvanising other factors of production for maximum productivity. A lot of organisations are winding-up because of their inability to hire the best brains for the running of the organisation. Therefore, this paper assessed the impact of performance management on organizational sustainability in Green-Energy International Limited, Otakaikpo, Ikuru Town, Andoni, Rivers State. The population of the study was drawn from 9 departments of the company, comprising 22 line managers, 130 senior staff, and 1422 junior staff (1574 staff), and a sample size of 319 staff was used for the investigation. The mean (X) and standard deviation (SD) statistical tools were adopted in the analysis of the research questions, while the chi-square (X2) statistical tool was used to analyse the research hypotheses. A decision was taken based on remarks on the views of the respondents. The mean of 2.50 and above were accepted, while the mean of 2.49 and below were taken as rejected. The findings show that the PM process increases the productivity of the employees of the company. It was recommended that managers should always be aware of unexpected benefits and take advantage of them if they arise from implementing the performance management system.
