Rewards and Motivation

From the organisation's point of view, rewards are intended to motivate certain behaviours. The following conditions are necessary for employee motivation.

1. Employees must believe effective performance (or certain specified behaviour) will lead to certain rewards. For example, attaining certain results will lead to a bonus or approval from others.

2. Employees must feel that the rewards offered are attractive. Some employees may desire promotions because they seek power, but others may want a fringe benefit, such as a pension, because they are older and want retirement security.

3. Employees must believe a certain level of individual effort will lead to achieving the corporation’s standards of performance.

As indicated, motivation to exert effort is triggered by the prospect of desired rewards: money, recognition, promotion, and so forth. If effort leads to performance and performance leads to desired rewards, the employee is satisfied and motivated to perform again.

Rewards fall into two categories: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic rewards come from the organisation as money, perquisites, or promotions or from supervisors and co-workers as recognition. Intrinsic rewards accrue from performing the task itself and may include the satisfaction of accomplishment or a sense of influence. The process of work and the individual's response to it provide the intrinsic rewards. But the organisation seeking to increase intrinsic rewards must provide a work environment that allows these satisfactions to occur, therefore, more organisations are redesigning work and delegating responsibility to enhance employee involvement.

NEGOTIATING

In simplest terms, negotiation is a discussion between two or more disputants who are trying to work out a solution to their problem. This interpersonal or inter-group process can occur at a personal level, as well as at a corporate or international (diplomatic) level. Negotiations typically take place because the parties wish to create something new that neither could do on his or her own, or to resolve a problem or dispute between them.
