Q2: A Typical Example of a research question is: “What is effect of reward system on
Productivity?” What is the Problem Here, according to the researcher? And what is a
possible solution to the problem, according to the same researcher?
A2:
Generally there is direct relationship between reward and productivity. There are both
positive and negative effects on productivity that are as under:
Positive Effect on productivity
It may effect positively for both employee and employer if reward system on productivity
will apply. Productive Employees get the confidence back after getting reward in the
company and will get strong financially, morally, and ethically and upgraded to the next
level. Consequently, organization maintain the level of services and able to excel the market
beyond the level.
Non Productive employees highlighted by their own performance and get lessons from
productive employees. They were creating examples to not follow the actions they had
chosen otherwise get the results same as they faced.
Negative Effect (Problem) of Reward System on Productivity
One Organization don’t give reward in compensation to the staff members who performed
well to maintain productivity of the organization, in a result they feel lack of motivation, lack
of attention, dissatisfied with the organization and for that reason turnover rate of
organization getting high and high. It may cause instability of the organization.
It may effect business benefits to such low level that affects new businesses and old
businesses on the basis of client relationship.
It may affect overall structure of the organization as nonproductive employees embaraced
the productive employees’ in spite of all the efforts productive employees had accounted
for the betterment of the organization and lifts off their motivation, confidence and
dedication. Productive employees may get influenced from others that will effect overall
hierarchy of the organization.
After evaluating the above cited scenario of the organization, it has shown that the
employees were productive and they were doing best efforts but rewards were not given
properly to the employees according to their productivity. Their appraisals were not up to
the mark and not compensated as per their performance.
Solution of Reward System on Productivity:
1) Organization should revise their HR Policy and if organization have already HR policy
then have to implement it by any means.
2) Organization should develop concept of “pay for performance” by keeping the
productivity of the employee especially where turnover rate prevails.
3) Organization must develop incentive program to motivate the productive
employees.
4) Organization must give all the facilities that has mandatory for the employee like
laptops, conveyance, medical etc.
5) Organization must increase employee ethical & moral values, and must do the
needful for the improvement of their productivity by keeping in view of their
performance as done before.
6) Organization must take initiative like employee of the month award, sports
competition, concerts, get-together, tours etc.

It may help but not limited to the staff but also helps to the organization to catch the
business benefits to the maximum value.
