A total of 95 participants of secondary school teachers at the northern part of Malaysia respond to the online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using smartPLS3.0. The findings of the study clearly show that the three dimensions of appraisal justice (distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice) have a positive and significant relationship to appraisal satisfaction and that authentic leadership involved as a moderating variable in this study. This study clearly guides policy makers to ensure that elements of appraisal justice and authentic leadership are embedded in the implementation of the performance appraisal process
