The study examined organization reward systems and staff motivation in Nigeria. Every organization strives to be among the best in life. Being among the best requires a whole lot of effort from the organizations perspectives one of such effort is regarded as motivational organization reward. Rewards serve as motivational tools aimed at bringing out the best in an employee general performance. The study therefore seeks to uncover the basic relationship between the rewards and organization receives from effectively rewarding the employees as well as negative effect of such action. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher employed simple percentages and chi-square statistical techniques to effectively analyze the questionnaires administered. Based on the analysis, it was found that good reward system enhances better performances, job satisfaction and increased productivity. We therefore recommended that management should give considerable amount of attention to reward as this is one way, if not the best way for improving working conditions and enhancing performance.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The most complex being ever created by God is man and man has always been in need. In order to meet his needs, he sometime put forth some level of effort to meet his needs.

The inherent dislike of work among human beings have made this study of organization reward system and motivation an interesting one. Workers exhibits general laxity where managers use autocratic means to meet their target/goals. But today management has found the need to ascertain and accommodate the needs of human which constitute the entire workforce (Ojema, 2003).

The organization must ensure that its reward system is designed to motivated and maintain effective employees performance throughout the organization. Individual need different rewards and are motivated differently. These rewards lead to performance of job task, in other words people have varying attitude for work, it is therefore important that personnel experts be aware of how to synchromesh reward and motivation of staff in order to achieve best result. In conventional reward system, employee are paid on the basis of job performed and usually the personnel characteristics they bring to their job and their personal contribution to their job. Motivation is no doubt an important component of personnel management process. Essentially motivation occur when management of organization recognizes the need for taking appropriate care of the workers in order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness that could lead to increase profit machine for an enterprise. These rewards or incentives although varies from, one organization to another and they include financial and non financial rewards system.

Financial reward system consist on: wages and salary, lunch subsidy, transportation and housing allowance, pension  schemes, credit facility (soft loans) and profit sharing incentive while, non financial reward system consist of job security, medical  facility (NHIS0, Recognition, authority and responsibility and provision of ovation and holiday among other (Okoh, 2008). This is in view of the fact that an improved effectiveness and efficiency of an employee will automatically improve the organization image in the eye of the public. Hence motivation can go a long way in determining the overall success or failure of an organization.
