Employees are the most valuable resource in any organization. It is the main cause of the success of a business. The evaluation of employee performance is a very important task as it shows how the employees skills are improving. The HR department is responsible for this task. The employee performance evaluation is complex and time consuming. In the last decade, information technology tools have undergone a huge evolution and can help with this complex task. Artificial Intelligence AI is a recent science that consists of building systems that imitate human behavior. It is widely used in many applications like healthcare, banking, and finance. This thesis focuses on studying the impact of artificial intelligence on the employee evaluation process. An analytical descriptive methodology was used. Intelligence is considered an independent variable. However, employee performance evaluation is the dependent variable DV . Four dimensions of the DV were considered objectives and key results, skills gap analysis, tracking training completion, and project or task management tools. A questionnaire of 34 items was built and distributed to the IT employees of the Babylon Education Directorate. 295 answers were collected. SPSS software was used to examine the answers. The MANOVA test was applied to validate the study hypotheses. The result shows that AI has a significant positive impact on the evaluation of employees performance in all dimensions.
