INTRODUCTION  In

our society & culture most people have the juicy “bad workplace environment & bad boss” tales to tell.

 People

have a strong urge to “spill the beans” about their performance, efficiency and productivity and to highlight the inadequate remuneration & support they get from the firm.

√ Process equity √ √

Personal growth Maximization of shareholder’s profit

LITERATURE REVIEW Selected 13 research articles from different sources, in order to understand the applications of R&R system and to find Gap analysis Variables Concepts & Indicators

HYPOTHESIS

H1: The effective reward and recognition system allows workers to grow well and to maximize share holder’s profit. H2: Process Equity is the most important ingredient or part of effective Rewards & Recognition System.

HYPOTHESIS TESTING H1: Hypothesis passed the three tests out of five on the scale of significance level. Proved through research that effective rewards and recognition system plays an important role in workers growth and in maximization of share holder’s profitability

HYPOTHESIS TESTING H2: Hypothesis passed only one test out of three on the scale of significance level. Proved through research that process equity is not the most important part or ingredient of effective rewards and recognition system. It has the importance but there are certain other factors which are being considered by the employees to compromise otherwise

Performance appraisal system is working well in your organization

In above, phi is 0.002 and it is statistically significant. Note that this a measure of effect size for an associational statistic. According to Cohen (1998) this is a medium to large size effect. So in the light of above calculations, I would say that the two variables are correlated to each other.

Conclusion H1: Hypothesis passed the three tests out of five on the scale of significance level. Proved through research that effective R&R system plays an important role in; workers growth maximization of shareholder’s profitability H2: Hypothesis passed only one test out of three on the scale of significance level. Proved through research that process equity is not the most important part or ingredient of effective R&R system. has importance but certain other factors can be considered by the employees to compromise otherwise.

RECOMMENDATIONS Rewards and recognition has a pivotal role in the productivity and has robust influence to promote image, profit, and credibility of the firm. Therefore, it should be maintained, promoted, implemented and refreshed vigorously. Maintain inspiring and feasible working environment that include; the understanding to give importance to workers view point, the convenient task, conditions, the resources and passion to accomplish goals. Establish team system and promote equal relationship/importance for all team members as every member is touch point for customers and firm

RECOMMENDATIONS Hire those who are motivated and capable to apply themselves in different situations confidently Always set achievable short targets that ultimately leads to the whole because “only dead fish swim the stream” Provide fair rewards with the perceived image of fairness. Recognition should be given equally, on the basis of merit.

EXPERIENCES • In most of the cases people’s response was not candid. • Most of the employees were found reluctant to unleash the real opinion • Employees do not like to offer them personal questions • In certain cases, employees were found confused to distinguish between their responsibilities and rewards. • The concept of rewards & recognition system is misapprehended in local organization • The convenience sampling has its own demerits and derived conclusion can not be generalized.
