Reward systems and employee performance: examining the impact in organizational settings

Abstract

The increasing demands for productivity in the food industry require
companies to optimally manage their human resources. One key factor
believed to drive employee performance is the reward system. This
study aims to analyse the impact of the reward system on employee
performance in companies operating within the food sector. The
methodology employed is a quantitative survey involving 85
employees, selected through total sampling techniques. Data were
collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analysed
using descriptive and inferential statistics through simple linear
regression with the assistance of SPSS version 24 at a significance
level of 0.05. The results indicate that the reward system has a positive
and significant effect on employee performance. The better the reward
system implemented, the higher the level of performance exhibited by
employees. These findings underscore the importance of a fair and
structured reward system as a managerial strategy to enhance work
productivity within the food industry.
