Reward Systems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Reward systems are central to the Human Resource Management function. Their purpose is to attract talented individuals, motivate them, and retain those that have a better fit with the organization. Reward systems have a direct impact (and in most firms the most important one) on the cost side of the organization's financial statement. They are strategic as they influence people's attitudes, behavior, and performance. In this chapter we provide an overview of reward systems and their main components.
