Research Title:
Delay in rewards delays the forth-coming performance in organization
Introduction:
The following research has been conducted in order to study the association between the
employee rewards and the overall performance of the organizations as well as to determine the link
between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. The work investigates the elements of intrinsic and extrinsic
rewards that influence employee conduct; therefore it will lead commercial banks to focus on a

performance, efficiency, achievement, turnover and organizational citizenship Behaviors
(Simon,1976; Martin & Hunt, 1980; Jahangir,2006). The surety of being recognized by the
organization will lead to workers devoting their full potential. Employee performance can be
influenced by the factors such as working conditions, relationship between workers and employers,
training and development events, job security and organization’s design and practices of employee
rewards, etc. Rewards are the most significant means of employee motivation. Motivation comprises
of various mechanisms that affect and regulate our behaviors to attain certain objectives (Baron,
