Employee performance is one of the most critical determinants of organizational success. Organizations continuously seek effective strategies to improve employee productivity, commitment, and job satisfaction. Among the various motivational tools available, rewards and recognition have emerged as powerful mechanisms for enhancing employee performance. The present study investigates the influence of rewards and recognition on employee performance among employees working in different organizations. The study examines how financial rewards, non-financial rewards, appreciation, promotions, incentives, and recognition programs affect employee motivation and productivity. Data were collected from 120 employees through a structured questionnaire. The findings revealed that employees who receive regular rewards and recognition demonstrate higher levels of motivation, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and work performance compared to employees who receive limited recognition. The study concludes that effective reward and recognition systems contribute significantly to organizational productivity and employee retention. Organizations should therefore develop fair, transparent, and performance-based reward systems to maximize employee potential and achieve long-term organizational objectives.
