Based on descriptive analysis, it was found that staffs in the firm perceive that the firm’s rewards affect their conduct and efficiency at job. It was found that staffs in the firm perceive that the firm’s rewards have positive impact on the firm’s growth. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the company provides rewards to its employees who are currently not receiving any rewards thus creating job satisfaction and improving both individual and organizational performance.
