In any organization n there should be more than financial rewards given to their employees .
Non-monetary incentives are long term while monetary incentives are considered to be short
term .They provide a significant level of employees satisfaction and the least costly nonfinancial reward is to say just Thank you. Many organizations understand the fact that offering
rewards and incentives that not only recognize but validate and value outstanding work are
important. We can define rewards as anything that can boost up the frequency of employees
action so here In this paper I will be covering how intrinsic rewards that are qualitative in nature
are helpful in bringing employees performance.
Problem Statement :
The general perception about the performance of employees is that money seems to be the only
reason for which employees choose to work however it is experienced that money alone cannot
do anything. We have been exposed to Maslows hierarchy of needs, Herzbergs hygiene theory,
Theory X and Theory Y.
Here the researcher seeks to assess whether non monetary incentives bring employees
performance
Scope of the Study :
There are both monetary and non-monetary benefits in existence but we cannot recognize both in
this single study so we have confined our scope to only non-monetary incentives in public sector
universities of Pakistan mainly Lahore , Punjab.
Objectives of the Study :
The primary reason foe this study is to see the impact on intrinsic compensation on employees
performance in public sector universities of Pakistan.. In this study we will see the application of
these incentives and how they actually improved ones performance. Also giving light to the fact
that what sort of intrinsic rewards are being given to the employees of public sector universities.
We will search whether or not these incentives have enhanced employees performance in terms
of their job commitment, job satisfaction , job attitude, organizational citizenship behavior, work
punctuality and few others .
Hypothesis :
Ho: There is a significant relationship between employees performance and non monetary
incentives
Hi: There is no relationship between employees performance and non monetary incentives

Literature Review :
Non-Cash incentives have Evaluability, meaning they capitalize on affective reactions to the
award, and increase the utility value of the award. For example, non-cash incentives like a big
6
screen television will serve as a reminder to the participant about his or her performance (and the
firm) every time it is watched. Vacation travel provides memories, pictures, etc. In the case of a
non-cash incentive, the award itself is the physical marker. (Jeffrey, 2003)
According to Hatice zutkua (zutkua, 2012) It has been found that there is a significant
difference between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards in terms of their effect on people results
performance indicators. The use of intrinsic reward practices exhibited a significantly positive
effect on people results performance indicators. However, it has been determined that effect of
extrinsic reward practices on people results is not significant. This study highlighted the
importance of the reward system for implementing TQM, especially putting the intrinsic reward
system behind the use of TQM practices on the job.
According to NILAY YAVUZ (YAVUZ, 2004) non-monetary incentives are valued highly by
the employees, even in the absence of monetary incentives. Among the non-monetary incentives,
job related non-monetary incentives are more preferred as the incentive that would
increase the employees interests in their jobs the most. This may imply that most
of the employees in the organization value meaningful job with more
responsibility, variety of tasks and opportunity to use variety of skills, autonomy
over job, participation in decision making, promotion, development opportunities
etc.
According to the study conducted by (Rizwan Qaiser Danish, Muhammad Khalid Khan, Ahmad
Usman Shahid, Iram) The employees who area appreciated by intrinsic rewards within the
7
organization not only perform well according to their job description but also get motivated
positively for the welfare of organization and for them. Employees struggle when their
organization appreciate their work, reward them, respect them and consider them as a vital part
of the organization. The employees efficiently do their jobs, behave effectively in the
organization, and remain loyal to their organization. Reward management system and
performance appraisal techniques can be improved by paying attention on human resource
management approaches that improve the performance of the organization.
In a study conducted by (Cheema, 2013) it was concluded that verbal praise of appreciation
from management in front of colleagues, feeling of being valued in the bank, a positive working
environment, encouragement by upper management on new initiatives, effective internal
communication, gaining respect and good relationship with other co-workers, proper and correct
appraisal of employee by management are motivating factors for employees. Non-monetary
rewards and effective recognition has a significant positive impact on employees motivation
