Executive Summary
Motivation refers to forces within person that affect his or her direction, intensity, and persistence of voluntary behavior Motivated employees are willing to exert a particular level of effort (intensity) for a certain amount of time (persistence) toward a particular goal (direction). Every organization wants to increase motivation of their employees to enhance their productivity. For that purpose some organizations use rewards which includes various benefits which are provided by employer these may be monetary or non monetary and some use other tactics like job design practices to motivate employees. We are conducting this research to enhance the academic knowledge in this topic Organizational Rewards and Employees Motivation.
This study finds out the motivation level of different employees for benefits and rewards received from their employers in Pakistan. Responses from users will be received through Questionnaires, Interviews and Observation.
The scope of this research is that it will help organization’s management to learn the ways of improving their services. It will tell them how they can motivate their employees and what the shortcomings in their operations are. For that purpose we are supposed to explore banking sector. Our study will be of exploratory nature. Exploratory study is necessary when some facts are known, but more information is needed for developing a viable theoretical framework. Exploratory studies are important for obtaining a good grasp of the phenomenon of interest and advancing knowledge through subsequent theory building and hypothesis testing. Qualitative studies where data reveal some pattern regarding the phenomenon of interest, theories are developed and hypothesis formulated for subsequent testing.

Motivation has been a difficult concept to properly define, because there “are many philosophical orientations toward the nature of human beings and about what can be known
The role organizational rewards on employees motivation Page 2
about people” (Pinder, 1998). Although Pinder (1998) provided a definition that nicely accommodates the different theoretical perspectives that have been brought to bear in the explanation of work motivation. Work motivation is a set of energetic forces that originates both within as well as beyond an individual’s being, to initiate work-related motivation, and to determine its direction, intensity, and duration.So Motivation of employees means the forces within a person that affect his or her direction, intensity, and persistence of voluntary hard work to achieve organizational goals . Intrinsic motivation can be defined as an individual’s need to feel competency and pride in something (McCullagh, 2005). Therefore, athletes who are intrinsically motivated participate in sports for no apparent reward other than the satisfaction and pleasure they get from the activity itself. While extrinsic motivation can be defined as performance of an activity in order to attain some separate outcome (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Therefore, athletes that are extrinsically motivated participate in sport for external causes such as rewards, positive feedback, recognition, etc, rather than for the inherent satisfaction of performing the activity itself (intrinsic motivation). Results indicate that individuals who are intrinsically motivated (and or have the two forms of autonomous extrinsic motivation), compared to those who are controlled by others to perform an activity (extrinsically motivated) have more interest, excitement, fun, and confidence, which leads to enhanced performance, creativity, persistence, vigor, general well-being, and self-esteem, among other benefits (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Therefore, ways to enhance intrinsic motivation are of the utmost importance for athletes. In the current scenario the competition in the business markets has been dramatically increased due to which organizations want more competent and motivated employees. In the past organizations have armies of supervisors to closely monitor employees’ motivation and rewards system. Even if commitment and trust were low, employees performed their jobs with the boss watching them closely but most companies thinned their supervisory ranks when they flattered organizational structure to reduce costs. Supervisors now have many more employees, so they can’t possibly keep a watchful eye out for laggards. Therefore now organizations want more motivated employees. Organizational rewards refer to benefits which organization provides to its employees it may be monetary rewards or non monetary rewards. Monetary rewards include salary increases, profit sharing, stock options, project bonuses and additional paid vacation time. Non monetary rewards include employee autonomy, personal recognition, pleasant work environment, flexible work hours training, new and challenging opportunities and also momentous trophies. Monetary rewards fulfills the employee’s basic needs therefore they are important but non monetary rewards are also very important because they are more long lasting and less costly for the organizations.

Research Question:
Introduction shows that now more motivated and satisfied employees are needed, now the important concern is that how we can satisfy the employees? Various previous researches shows that employees can be motivated as well as satisfied by giving those rewards, but only rewards do not result in satisfaction, it may be due to several other factors. Therefore in this study we will evaluate,

Literature Review
MotivationThe term motivation is derived from the Latin word for movement (movere). Building on this concept, Atkinson defines motivation as ‘the contemporary (immediate) influence on direction, vigor and persistence of action’ (1964: 2). Motivation is the “driving force within individuals that drive them physiologically and psychologically to pursue one or more goals to fulfill their needs or expectations (Lam & Tang: 2003).While Campbell and Pritchard (1976), defines motivation as a dependent and independent set of relationships which explains the amplitude, direction, and persistence of a behavior holding constant the effects of skills, aptitude, and understanding of a task and the constraints operating in the work environment.
The role organizational rewards on employees motivation Page 4
Motivation is the desire to achieve beyond expectations, being driven by internal rather than external factors, and to be involved in a continuous striving for improvement(Torrington, Hall, Taylor & Atkinson, 2009, p. 276).Motivation, in the context of work, is a psychological process that results from the interaction between an employee and the work environment and it is characterized by a certain level of willingness. The employees are willing to increase their work effort in order to obtain a specific need or desire that they hold (Beardwell & Claydon, 2007, p. 491).Managers can motivate employees through methods such as pay, promotion and praise. Employees can also motivate themselves by seeking work where individual goals, needs and wants will be achieved. These two types of motivation are called intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and are more closely described as follows: (Armstrong 1988, p. 109).
Intrinsic motivationRefers to the motivation that comes from inside an individual. The motivation is generated trough satisfaction or pleasure that one gets in completing or even working on a task. Factors that influence on intrinsic motivation include responsibility, freedom to act, scope to use and develop skills and abilities, interesting work and opportunities for advancement. These motivators, which are concerned with the quality of work life, tend to have a long-term effect since they are inherent in individuals and not imposed from outside. (Armstrong 1988, p. 109-110).
Extrinsic motivationIt is something that is done to or for people to motivate them. It arises from factors outside an individual, such as money, grades, criticism or punishments. These rewards provide satisfaction and pleasure that the task itself might not provide. An extrinsically motivated person might work on a task even when they have little interest in it. This type of motivation usually has an immediate and powerful effect, however it does not tend to last for long. (Armstrong 1988, p. 109-110)
Theories of Motivation:
Content Theories of Motivation are based on the needs of individuals. These theories try to explain why the needs of individuals keep changing overtime and therefore focus on the specific factors that motivate them. In general, these theories explain motivation as the product of internal drives that encourage an individual to move towards the satisfaction of individual needs. Major content theories of motivation are Maslow's hierarchy of needs, McClelland's learned needs theory, Alderfer's ERG theory and Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory from which the firstly mentioned will be closer discussed. (Beardwell & Claydon, 2007, p. 492).
Maslow's hierarchy of Needs:
The role organizational rewards on employees motivation Page 5
It is a theory of personality that identifies five basic need categories:
Physiological needs: These are basic human needs that are vital for survival. Examples of these needs are food, water, air and comfort. The organization provides a financial reward by paying a salary and this way helps to satisfy employees' physiological needs.
Safety needs:
These reflect a desire for security and stability. Examples of these needs include desire for steady employment, health insurance and safe neighborhoods.
Social needs:
These are the desire for affiliation. They reflect the person' s desire for love, affection and belonging.These needs can be fulfilled by the organization through sport teams, parties and celebrations. The managers can help to satisfy employees' social needs by showing direct care and concern for employees.
Esteem needs:
These include the need for things that reflect on personal worth, self-respect and social
recognition. Individuals need to attain a good reputation in a group or strive to increase their
status in the eyes of others are driven by these needs. The organization can help to satisfy
employees' esteem needs by showing workers that their work is appreciated and recognized.
Self-actualization needs:
These are the individuals desire for self-fulfillment and the realization of doing what he or she has the potential of doing. Assigning tasks that challenge employees' minds and encouraging their aptitude and training are examples on how the organization can help fulfill self-actualization needs. (Beardwell & Claydon, 2007, p. 493).
The basic needs are arranged in a hierarchy where the most basic need emerges first and the most sophisticated need last. In other words, the higher-order needs including belonging, esteem, and self-actualization are not seen important until the lower-order needs which are safety and physiological are satisfied. Managers should find out what motivates the employees at each of the levels and develop a reward strategy accordingly. (Tosi, Rizzo & Carroll, 1994, p. 217 and Beardwell & Claydon, 2007, p. 493).
The goal setting theory of Locke and Latham assumes that human behavior is governed by goals and ambitions, which lead to the assumption that an employee with higher goals will do better than an employee with lower goals. This theory states that there is a positive relationship between goal precision, difficulty and performance. Hence, if an employee
The role organizational rewards on employees motivation Page 6
knows precisely what he or she is expected to do, that individual will do better than someone whose goals are vague. Adequate and timely feedback plays an essential role in the goal setting theory sine it has a the following effect on the employees:(Beardwell & Claydon, 2007, p. 498).
Increase feelings of achievement
Increase the sense of personal responsibility for the work
Reduce uncertainty
Refine performance
Rewards
The Word rewards state the benefits that workers receive from their jobs (Kalleberg 1977,Mottaz1988), and significant elements of employee job attitudes such as organizational commitment and motivation(Steers and Porter 1991). In any organization, rewards play an important role in building and sustaining the commitment among employees that ensures a high standard of performance and workforce constancy (Wang 2004). According to the individual–organization exchange theme, individuals enter organizations with specific set of skills, desires and goals, and expect in return a decent working environment where they can use their skills, satisfy desires, and attain their goals (Mottaz 1988). Mostly organizations have increased the substantial improvement by entirely complying with the organizational strategy by a well-balanced reward and recognition programs for employee.Reward refers to all categories of financial benefits, tangible services and benefits that an employee receives as part of employment relationship with the organization (Bratton and Gold 1994). Lawler (2003) described that there are two aspects that decide how much a reward is attractive, the quantity of reward which is provided and the weight age an employee gives to a specific reward. Employees are certainly closer to their organizations and perform better job, while they receive healthier reward and recognition in their organizations. Rewards increase the level of efficiency and performance of the employees on their jobs and in the result thereof increase the success of the organization. Generally employees’ job description and job specification determines rewards to maintain fairness among employees within an organization and competitive in the marketplace (Zaini et al. 2009).
Organizational rewards means all the benefits i.e. financial and non-financial that an employee receives through their employment relationship with an organization (Bratton and Gold 1994,Malhotra et al. 2007).
The role organizational rewards on employees motivation Page 7
According to the literature the rewards distinguishes into three main types that individuals seek from their organization i.e. extrinsic, intrinsic and social rewards (Williamson et al. 2009).
Extrinsic rewardsThese are the physical benefits provided by the organization such as pay, bonus, fringe benefits and career development opportunities.
Intrinsic rewards These refer to the rewards that come from the content of the job itself, and encompass motivational characteristics of the job such as autonomy, role clarity and training (Hackman and Oldham 1976).
Social rewardsThese arise from the interaction with other people on the job and may include having supportive relationships with supervisor and co-workers.Ali and Ahmed (2009) established that there is a substantial affiliation between reward and recognition, and similarly in employee motivation and job satisfaction. Study exposed that if rewards and recognition offered to employees then there would be a substantial modification in work motivation and satisfaction.Explores past and present attitudes of employees concerning work-related motivational factors. Understanding the factors that employees consider Motivating lends insight to the rewards to which they more positively respond. Compares the results of four motivation surveys conducted in 1946, 1980, 1986 and 1992. The comparisons reveal that employees’ motivational preferences vary over time. In addition, the results of the 1992 survey indicate that the factors that motivate today’s workers are more extrinsic than they used to be. Although employees differ on how they rank these factors, they overwhelmingly selected “good wages” as the top motivator. A good wage is an extrinsic reward with intrinsic potency. On the surface “good wages” seem to be purely extrinsic. Yet, at a deeper level, monetary rewards communicate what the company values and affect employees’ emotional and familial wellbeing(Carolyn Wiley, (University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA)A well designed and functional reward system is an efficient way to increase employee work motivation. The appropriate type of reward is developed in accordance to the company's reward philosophy, strategies and policy. However, it might be challenging to find the right way to combine the company’s integrated policies and practices together with the employee’s contribution, skill and competence. (Armstrong, 1999, p. 569-570).

Explanation of the relationship between dependent and independent variable
The variance in the dependent variable, motivation of employees can be explained by the five independent variables; Bonus and incentives, handsome salary package, promotion opportunities, Flexible timings, Working Environment.If the employees are given the proper training in this way their motivation level towards organizations can be increased. With highly motivated employees organizations can increase their productivity. Different factors affect the motivation level of employees that includes
The role organizational rewards on employees motivation Page 9
bonuses and incentives, handsome salary package, promotion opportunities, flexible timing, and working environment.Bonuses and incentives is a very important factor for motivating the employees within the organization to get high productivity from them. In this way organizations can increase motivation level of the employees. Handsome salary packages also affect the motivation level of the individual. If someone perceives the beneficial and fruitful salary package for himself then his motivation level be such higher than others.Promotion opportunities also have great impact on employees, so that promotion opportunities should be exist in every organization. Because every employee wants to be grow up in his working field and also status conscious. If the employees know that promotion opportunities exist within the organization then they work with their best efforts which are beneficial for the organization.Working environment is also very important factor for the employees as well as good repute of the organizations. If organizations provide friendly working environment to their employees then employees will perform their duties with high moral and also will pay their full concentration to their work.
HYPOTHESiS:
Based on the assumed casual relationship given in the conceptual model the following hypothesis were developed for testing.
H1:- Higher the employee rewards lead to higher the Employee Motivation
H2:- Lower the employee rewards lead to lower the Employee Motivation
A reward can be defined as an external agent administered when a desired act or task is performed, that has controlling and informational properties. While rewards are typically delivered to increase the probability of a response, they can increase or decrease the probability of an event occurring, depending on the saliency and direction of the controlling and informational aspects of the reward. Saliency would refer to the intensity of either the controlling or informational aspect of the reward. It is what stands out to you the most. While direction would refer to whether the reward is perceived as increasing or decreasing the athlete’s control; and whether the information is perceived as positive (increasing the athlete’s competency) or negative (decreasing the athlete’s competency). Rewards can come in the form of verbal rewards (i.e. telling someone “good job!”), physical rewards (i.e. a pat on the back), or tangible rewards (i.e. giving someone money, food, or a medallion), among others. There are 5 basic types of rewards discussed in the literature as follows (Deci, Koestner, & Ryan, 1999)

Target population for this study is the employees of different organizations in different cities of
Punjab.
Characteristics of sample
Our sample includes males and females employees of different ages from different organizations.
They are working on different job status.
Sample Size
100 questionnaires were distributed to employees of different organizations.
Type of sample
Type of sampling we use is convenient sampling. We visited different organizations to get fulfill
our questionnaires.
Research Design
This research will be taken on the following approaches.
Purpose of Study
Our study will be of exploratory nature. Exploratory study is necessary when some facts are known, but more information is needed for developing a viable theoretical framework. Exploratory studies are important for obtaining a good grasp of the phenomenon of interest and advancing knowledge through subsequent theory building and hypothesis testing. Qualitative studies where data reveal some pattern regarding the phenomenon of interest, theories are developed and hypothesis formulated for subsequent testing.
Type of investigation
The role organizational rewards on employees motivation Page 11
The type of our investigation is causal. When the researcher wants to check the cause and
effect relationship among variables then causal study is called for.
Study Settings
The study setting for our research is non-contrived. Because it has conducted in the natural environment of organization where work proceeds normally. Units of analysis
Because we’ve to study the behavior of the individuals on the workplace, so our unit of analysis is individuals.Time Horizon
The time horizon of the research is the cross – sectional because the data is gathered just once.
This kind of time horizon is also called one – shot studies.
Data Collection and Procedures
Our purpose of study is exploratory. So our first concern is with the primary data. Efforts are
made to find out the necessary supportive secondary data but the major point of emphasis is
on primary data.
QuestionnaireQuestionnaire was considered as a sophisticated tool for the purpose of primary data collection. Questionnaire was so designed that it can generate the required information. Questionnaire was consisting of option choices as well as the simple question of which the answers were given in hand writing by the respondents. Personally Administered Questionnaire technique was used.
Data Analysis
The role organizational rewards on employees motivation Page 12
For data analysis we met personally to employees of different organizations for purpose of questionnaires filling. We spent suffiecient amount of time on it.To find the role of rewards on employees motivation we used the regression analysis and applied Pearson correlation to examine the connection between variables. In descriptive statistics, we calculated mean and standard deviation to check the inclination of our respondents.

Findings of Study
Limitations We have less time to investigate
Sample size was small
Some employees don’t cooperate with us
Employees were not easily accessible
Some Employees don’t provide accurate and satisfactory information
Some employees excuse to give their time
Our research result is based on limited area
Conclusion and suggestions
We have made a very extensive research and have come to this point after analyzing all the data
gathered through questionnaire that most of the employees of different organizations, which we
have surveyed, are de-motivated and dissatisfied with their job. The main reason behind their
motivation, which we have concluded is that employees perceive that their job is interesting but
the monetary and non-monetary rewards which they are receiving are not much sufficient
according to their needs. So therefore all the employees have answered that “Yes” they feel their
job is interesting and challenging but our rewards should be increased.
Therefore they have said that they are not thinking of ways to get out of work. Moreover they
also perceive that their job is matched with their personality therefore only a few employees have
given answer against it.
Motivation of employees can leads the organization towards success and achievement of vision,
so organizations should introduced such a reward system that can motivate their employees.
Salary packages should be increased according to the nature of job. Other factors such as
working conditions, and promotion opportunities also affects the motivation level of employees,
so banks should also consider these factors as well.
