    • Staff resources were actively engaged to diagnose and resolve performance appraisal deficiencies.
    • A participatory approach was used to design a new performance evaluation system.

    Main Results:

    • A novel performance evaluation system, incorporating MBO principles, was successfully developed and implemented.
    • The implementation of MBO at the unit level was achieved, overcoming previous barriers.
    • Enhanced staff engagement and problem-solving were observed through the MBO process.

    Conclusions:

    • Management by Objectives (MBO) can be effectively implemented at the unit level in nursing through collaborative problem-solving.
