The Design of Effective Reward Systems.

Abstract

Reward systems are one of the most prominent and frequently discussed features of organizations. This chapter will focus on the design choices that are involved in managing a reward system and their relationship to organizational effectiveness rather than on specific pay system technologies. The underlying assumption is that the reward system of an organization can be a key contributor to organizational effectiveness. However, for this to occur careful analysis needs to be made of the role that reward systems can and should play in the strategic plan of the organization.
