What Rewards Do You Value?

According to expectancy theory, one thing companies can do to motivate employees is to give rewards that have position valence to them. What work-related rewards have the greatest value to you? Completing this questionnaire will help you answer this question.

Directions

Following are 10 work-related rewards. For each, circle the number that best describes the value that particular reward has for you personally. Use the following scale to express your feelings: 1 – no value at all, 2 – slight value, 3 – moderate value, 4 – great value, 5 – extremely great value.

Prestigious title 1 2 3 4 5

· Based on your answers, which rewards do you value most?

· Which do you value least?

· Do you think these preferences will changes as you get older and perform different jobs?

· If so, how?

· Well the reward that I really want to get is depends on what kind of job that I want to work in. The rewards that I value most are good pay, Job security, Recognition, Interesting work, Pleasant conditions, Changes to advance, Flexible schedule and Friendly coworkers. I think those are the most important things for having work because for example, if u have a good pay you would never need an extra money. I worked before as a call center of local bank in Saudi Arabia and the rewards I would get if I be the best employee in the month is about %40 of your salary, however I never got it. The thing that I think it is not important is Prestigious title because I like working behind when no one know that is my work. I believe that everyone changed as the time goes. Every year a person can have other interest that he/she want to accomplish. So my answer is yes I think that I will change when I get older.
