CONSEQUENCES OF PERFORMANCE-CONTINGENT REWARD ON PERCEIVED SELF-DETERMINATION AND INTRINSIC MOTIVATION OF EMPLOYEES IN PAKISTAN

Organizations need to identify the factors in order to achieve organizational objectives along with the increase in employees' performance. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the determined factors of performance-contingent reward, perceived self-determination and intrinsic motivation of the employees, and to identify which factor is highly important in the eyes of the employees during their job. The results found that the factors of performance-contingent reward are positively and significantly correlated with the factors of perceived self-determination and intrinsic motivation, but no significance exists between the factors of perceived self-determination and intrinsic motivation. The study suggests that organizations should consider their reward system to motivate their employees and to increase their performance. No prior study has been conducted in Pakistan in this field.
