▼ The problem of the migration of talent from developed countries is not a new one, andessentially it is understood that the reward systems of the countries involved are at faultin not providing individuals with rewards that they value. In the Sultanate of Oman,such a brain drain is not yet a problem, but over the last few years there has been anincreasing departure of talented people from the Omani Government Sector, as theprivate sector has more to offer. Such a phenomenon is wasteful in respect of thetraining investment which might have been made in these people, but it is alsodamaging to the government sector as a whole since the aim of providing qualityservices to the nation is made more difficult to achieve as employees of high calibreleave.Consequently, this thesis explores the issue of why people resign from the governmentsector to work elsewhere, and in so doing it focuses on the current reward system withinthe sector. Through a comprehensive literature review, it considers both academic andpractitioner perspectives on the issue of reward, concentrating particularly on theconcept of Total Reward which embraces the notion of a mixture of wide-rangingtangible and intangible rewards that are designed with employee involvement to ensuretheir attractiveness, and to ultimately secure loyalty and reduce employee turnover.The study then conducts an empirical exercise in which a large sample of governmentemployees from the full range of ministries where resignations are taking place,participate in a questionnaire survey, seeking to establish their views on the currentreward system and the potential for the introduction of a Total Reward strategy.Additionally, a number of in-depth interviews are held with employees, and focusgroups are also conducted, as a means of securing a third source of empiricalinformation. The data obtained is triangulated to establish a detailed employerperspective, and then considered in the light of the literature.The finding is that the reward system in its current form is not appropriate since it doesnot cater for employees’ needs. It is characterised by a lack of rigorous and transparentcriteria on which to assess employees’ eligibility for various rewards, and consequently,has allowed favouritism and nepotism to creep into a system that was intended to beoperated on the basis of merit. This is dispiriting for employees who have no faith intheir managers to determine their individual performance, and hence offer rewards on afair basis.It is concluded that a Total Reward strategy is a desirable way forward since this wouldstem the flow of talented people from the government sector, but it is alsoacknowledged that there are critical success factors associated with the implementationof such an initiative and that for these to be in place, a culture change within thegovernment sector would need to occur.

▼ This study is about reward system, which essentially is a steering instrument available to maintain the organizational efficiency and productivity and which also have the purpose of motivating the employees to act in the best interest of the organization as well as to reach organizational goals. The purpose with this study was to see how companies in different sectors make use of a reward system in order to increase their effectiveness and efficiency. The aim was also to see to what extent organizations are linking the organizational goals with the individual goals that occur within an organization. A comparison between the sectors has done in order to observe similarities as well as differences. As groundwork of this thesis theories regarding motivation and effectiveness and efficiency were used. The research question was based on the purpose with this study and stated as follows: “In what way are organizations using a reward system to motivate the employees to work in the best interest of the organization and reach organizational goals?” In order to answer the research question I have conducted a qualitative study. I have made two interviews with different companies within two different sectors, a total of four interviews. The sectors that I have chosen to focus on were the production sector and the service sector. The interviews were all face to face meetings in Addis Ababa. The empirical findings have then been tried to be analyzed by linking them to the theories used in the theoretical framework. The main conclusions I have made is that all companies are focusing primarily on profitability and results when rewarding. Within all sectors, the companies have found very difficult to link individual goals to organizational goals in the organization. It is only Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCO) that already laid the ground for linking individual goals to organizational goals though it is not yet started implementing the system. Based on my finding the production sector is working more satisfactorily concerning employees’ job satisfaction and motivation. Further I could conclude that the less developed reward system an organization has and considers it to be a steering instrument the less thoroughly developed will the groundwork for it be and vice versa. Some similarities that I could see within the two sectors were that they all are using monetary and non monetary rewards (financial and non financial rewards) and that the rewards are being given to both individuals to teams though differ in extent.

▼ What determines whether an experience is encoded to memory? One factor is reward-based motivation: we are more likely to remember information if we believe it will lead to future rewards. Memory critically depends on the integrity of the medial temporal lobes (MTL). Notably, the MTL is comprised of subregions that are hypothesized to serve different functions in memory and may be differentially influenced by reward. The present research examines how reward-based motivation influences associative memory processing within MTL subregions of the human brain. In two high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, a high-value or low-value monetary cue preceded a pair of objects indicating potential reward for successful retrieval of the association on a later memory test. Memory was enhanced for pairs preceded by high-value compared to low-value reward cues, however participants differed in the degree to which reward value influenced memory. In fMRI Study 1, the behavioral effect of reward on memory was associated with reward-related activation changes in hippocampal subregions dentate gyrus/CA₂,₃ and enhanced connectivity between dentate gyrus/CA₂,₃ and reward-related midbrain regions during encoding and retrieval. In fMRI Study 2, patterns of MTL activations represented reward context, showing greater consistency among events of the same reward value than among events of different reward values. Successful memory formation was associated with enhanced hippocampal reward representations during the anticipatory cue phase prior to object pair encoding. During object pair encoding, the degree of reward representation in hippocampus and more specifically dentate gyrus/CA₂,₃ was associated with individual differences in the behavioral effect of reward on memory. Finally, a series of behavioral studies demonstrate that during motivated learning, associative memory accuracy increases monotonically with increasing reward value, and may be enhanced when participants must maintain information about reward cues in short-term memory prior to encoding. These findings indicate that reward-based motivation enhances associative memory processing specifically within dentate gyrus/CA₂,₃ through interactions with reward-related midbrain regions. Furthermore, these results suggest that associative memory may be facilitated when information about reward context is incorporated into stored memory representations. Collectively, these findings shed light on fundamental mechanisms through which reward impacts associative memory. Advisors/Committee Members: Preston, Alison R.

▼ Despite an emerging link between alterations in motivated behavior and a lack of sleep, the impact of sleep deprivation as well as the potential benefit of sleep, when it is achieved, on human brain mechanisms of reward and punishment remain largely unknown. Targeting these unanswered questions, this thesis aims to determine the impact sleep loss on human brain incentive processing in topics of 1) food desire and 2) monetary gains and losses. From these investigations four main findings have emerged that make up the first four chapters of this report: 1) In the context of food choices, sleep deprivation leads to significantly decreases activity in appetitive evaluation regions within the human frontal cortex and insular cortex during food desirability choices, combined with a converse amplification of activity within the amygdala ultimately leading to increased high calorie food choices. 2) In the context of monetary rewards and losses, sleep deprivation did not lead to measurable changes in activation to the anticipation of rewards and losses in the nucleus accumbens or insula respectively. However, sleep deprivation did lead to diminished medial prefrontal cortex responses to gain outcomes and increased anterior insula response to loss outcomes. 3) Although there were no observable sleep deprivation group effects on anticipation of monetary gains and losses, there was a significant interaction of sleep deprivation with a trait dopamine transporter genetic polymorphism that determined the impact of sleep deprivation on anticipatory response to gain and loss in the nucleus accumbens and anterior insula respectively. 4) In the context of learning from monetary incentives, sleep deprivation led to a specific deficit in the ability to learn from monetary gains but no change in the learning profile for monetary losses. Finally, in addition to these four findings on the impacts of sleep deprivation on human incentive processing, the final chapter (5) focuses on the relationship between sleep, when it is achieved, and next day reward responsivity. Here there is a significant relationship between individual differences in REM sleep beta power and next day nucleus accumbens response to anticipation of rewards. Beyond these basic scientific insights, such results offer potential clinical relevance given that sleep disruption is highly co-morbid with numerous psychiatric and neurological conditions associated with dysfunctional dopaminergic reward processing (e.g., Parkinson's disease, substance abuse, and obesity). Such findings further indicate that sleep intervention may represent an under appreciated and novel therapeutic target particularly for disorders of the reward system.

▼ Addiction is a disease of chronic relapse that costs society an estimated $484 billion per year as the addict repeatedly cycles from addiction to abstinence, withdrawal, drug seeking, and relapse. Additionally, the drug trade has far-reaching consequences that include human rights violations, increased criminal activity, community safety risks, adverse health effects, and environmental destruction. Along with society, the addict and his or her family also pay, as substance abuse, dependence, and addiction are associated with an apparent devaluation of, and inattention to, natural rewards. This consequence of addiction can be modeled using a reward comparison paradigm where rats avoid intake of a taste cue that comes to predict access to a drug of abuse. Evidence suggests rats avoid intake following such pairings, at least in part, because the taste cue pales in comparison to the highly rewarding drug expected in the near future. Along with the devaluation of natural rewards, addiction also is a disease of chronic relapse where drug seeking and drug taking are repeatedly initiated by exposure to stress, the drug itself, and drug-associated cues. Our paradigm also models this aspect of addiction. Thus, while rats may initially avoid intake of the taste cue because it pales in comparison to the drug's value, with experience, rats ultimately avoid intake because the taste cue comes to elicit the onset of a conditioned aversive state involving craving, withdrawal, and seeking. We have made progress in delineating the underlying circuitry involved in drug-induced avoidance of a taste cue. In accordance, lesions of the gustatory thalamus or cortex eliminate avoidance of a taste cue when paired with either a drug of abuse or a rewarding sucrose solution, but not when paired with the aversive agent, LiCl. The present dissertation investigated the role of a neighboring thalamic structure, the trigeminal orosensory area (TOA), using bilateral ibotenic acid lesions. In Chapter 2, we found that the TOA lesion eliminated avoidance of a taste cue when paired with experimenter-administered morphine or cocaine using our standard parameters. The TOA lesion, however, did not disrupt avoidance of a taste cue that predicted access to a preferred sucrose solution or the administration of the aversive agent, LiCl. This is the first lesion to selectively disrupt avoidance of an otherwise palatable taste cue when paired with a drug of abuse. In Chapter 3, we provided direct evidence that the drug-paired taste cue elicits withdrawal and that greater withdrawal elicits greater drug seeking and taking. Lesions of the TOA prevented the onset of cue-induced withdrawal. In Chapter 4, we showed that, unlike findings obtained in the home cage, the lesion failed to prevent avoidance of the drug-paired taste cue and accompanying signs of cue-induced withdrawal when tested in a runway apparatus. Factors that may have contributed to the successful performance by the lesioned rats in the runway study, such as the availability of… Advisors/Committee Members: Patricia Sue Grigson, Dissertation Advisor/Co-Advisor, Kevin Douglas Alloway, Committee Member, Ralph Norgren, Committee Member, Thomas C Pritchard Iii, Committee Member, Chester A Ray, Committee Member.

▼ The purpose of this research paper is to examine the impact of reward system on the performance of an organization and enables to understand the current needs of an organization and its employees to their intended objective. The low customer satisfaction, stakeholders, productive behaviour and the way how this behaviour could be altered and how to make their performance boost up (improve) to the organizational needs and demands would be the focus of the study. The research was carried out through constructive analysis from questionnaires and interview on reward system. Design/methodology/approach: The paper used an intensive case study executed by making use of descriptive survey method with the objective of EEP’s performance evaluation, reward strategy, policies, processes, and practices. Method and tools: Given that staff branch head office of Ethiopian Electric Company was the statistical population under study simple random sampling was used in this survey. Sample size was determined by own adapted means of Cochran formula (152 persons). Historical study and field study methods were the most important methods of data collection and data analysis was performed by means of SPSS statistical software. Findings: The findings suggest that the use of financial and objective measures are the main concern in designing the reward systems of the organization, companies are gradually incorporated non-financial measures in their reward systems. Other remarkable findings include identical rewards are not tied to different working nature performance which is found to be deviate from the normal norms. Research implications: The reward framework identified can be used as guideline for the total reward package to further understand the function of reward system and performance, thus design and implement their unique and attractive reward system. Originality/value – The paper shows that rewards lead to increase in both financial and nonfinancial performance which will also enhance companies’ reputation, as well as increase the recruitment possibility where more manpower will make a stronger team. Effective rewards mechanism will shift from fulfilling employees’ basic requirement to self-actualization as they are growing with the business. Finally, the study has come up with a conclusion accompanied by suitable recommendations on the identified weaknesses and effect of reward system to organizations performance.

▼ In the environment in which palatable and highly caloric foods are readily available, eating behavior is oftentimes not dictated by the necessity to replenish lacking energy, but rather by the pleasure of consumption. Centrally acting oxytocin (OT) is known to promote termination of feeding to protect internal milieu by preventing excessive stomach distension, hyperosmolality and ingestion of toxins. Initial evidence suggests that another possible role for OT in mechanisms governing food intake is to reduce consumption of select palatable tastants. This thesis explores the question whether OT is as an appetite suppressant that reduces feeding reward. The first set of experiments addresses whether OT affects intake of (a) all carbohydrates, (b) only sweet carbohydrates or (c) sweet non-carbohydrate saccharin in mice. In those studies, generalized injection of a blood brain barrier penetrant OT receptor antagonist, L-368,899, significantly increased the intake of sweet (sucrose, glucose, fructose, polycose) and non-sweet (cornstarch) carbohydrates and promoted a trend approaching significance in saccharin consumption. Consumption of carbohydrate-enriched foods led to an increase in OT mRNA levels in the hypothalamus. The second set of studies identifies the nucleus accumbens core (AcbC), a key component of the reward system, as a site that mediates anorexigenic effects of OT. Rats injected with OT directly in the AcbC showed a decreased intake of sucrose and saccharin solutions as well as of standard chow. This treatment did not cause taste aversion, hence the outcome was not due to sickness/malaise. The effects of AcbC OT on feeding could be observed only in animals offered a meal in a non-social environment. Once a social setting (devoid of direct antagonistic interactions between individuals) of a meal was introduced, AcbC OT failed to reduce feeding. AcbC levels of OT receptor transcript were affected by exposure to palatable food as well as by food deprivation. The third and final set of studies shows that aberrant integrity of neuronal circuitry within the neuroendocrine and reward systems due to genetic deletion of connexin 36 (Cx36) gap junctions leads to dysregulation of the OT system’s functioning in the Cx36 KO mouse. This dysregulation is associated with hypersensitivity to aversive properties of foods, reduced interest in feeding for reward (palatable carbohydrates and saccharin) and abnormal ingestion of energy. Overall, the findings suggest that OT diminishes feeding for reward, particularly the intake of palatable carbohydrates and saccharin, by acting – at least in part – via the reward system. OT appears to be part of central mechanisms that cross-link homeostasis-driven and palatability-related (i.e., flavor- and macronutrient-specific) termination of consumption.

▼ This dissertation examines the teachings of Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274) and Gabriel Biel (d. 1495) on questions of motivation for Christian activity. What is the proper motivation for loving God and neighbor? Is it acceptable to look to a reward in performing acts of charity? In order to answer these questions, I explore each thinker’s understanding of human or voluntary action, merit, the relationship between nature and grace, the role of the divine missions and of habits in moral activity, and what it means for each to love God above all else. This research addresses a void in the scholarship because there is little substantive comparison between Aquinas and Biel. Prior examinations of Biel’s reception of Aquinas were mainly concerned with whether Biel accurately quotes or paraphrases him. However, this method provides little insight into their core theological emphases. This dissertation explores many of the controlling insights that influence how each thinker approaches questions of motivation. For Aquinas, it is acceptable—even necessary—to look to a reward while performing acts of charity. In general, Aquinas establishes a non-competitive relationship between self-love and love for God that allows him to claim that the act of charity is spontaneous because it is consistent with the human person’s God-given will for self-perfection. For Biel, however, the act of charity cannot include any reference to the good of the human person. God is loved from charity solely for God’s goodness ad intrarather than ad extra. By establishing a competitive relationship between self-love and love for God, Biel emphasizes restraint rather than spontaneity in Christian activity. Biel’s use of Aquinas on questions of motivation is negligible. Decisive differences regarding the relationship between God and the human good, the role of habits in the Christian life, and each thinker’s appreciation for divine transcendence lead to very distinctive takes on motivations for Christian activity. Moreover, a preliminary examination of sixteenth-century debates about motivation reveals that the default position of both Protestants and Catholics seems to be closer to that of Biel than to that of Aquinas.

▼ A critical obstacle to developing effective medications to prevent and/or treat an alcohol‐use disorder (AUD) is the lack of specific knowledge regarding the role of individual receptors in mediating ethanol‐induced reward, addiction, and dependence. The studies presented in this dissertation introduce a transformative tool to investigate the primary sites of ethanol action on individual receptor subunits that are expressed in the reward and addiction brain regions. Here, we developed a novel class of Ultra‐Sensitive Ethanol Receptors (USERs) that allow activation of a single receptor subunit population sensitized to extremely low ethanol concentrations. USERs were created by mutating as few as two residues in the extracellular Loop 2 region of glycine receptors (GlyRs) or γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs), which are implicated in causing many behavioral effects linked to ethanol abuse. USERs, expressed in Xenopus oocytes and tested using two‐electrode voltage clamp electrophysiology, demonstrated an increase in ethanol sensitivity of 100‐fold over wild‐type receptors by significantly decreasing the threshold for ethanol sensitivity and increasing the magnitude of ethanol response, without altering general receptor properties including sensitivity to the neurosteroid, allopregnanolone. These profound changes in ethanol sensitivity were observed across multiple subunits of GlyRs and GABAARs. We also demonstrated the selectivity of these USERs by reporting that the extracellular Loop 2 region is a common site of action for anesthetics including ethanol, isoflurane, and lidocaine in α1 GlyRs. Interestingly, Loop 2 was not a site of action for the general anesthetic, propofol. We further employed USER technology in genetically engineered knock‐in mice to demonstrate proof‐of‐concept that USERs expressed in vivo can be activated by extremely low ethanol concentrations. Ultimately, USERs provide a unique tool to increase understanding of the individual role of receptors in mediating the reward and addiction pathways of ethanol. Thus, USERs could help identify key sites of ethanol action and potential drug targets that could treat and/or prevent alcohol addiction.

▼ Obesity has become a widespread concern to human health largely over the past three decades. It is thought that obesity is associated with the over consumption of calorically dense diets. The rewarding value of food is mediated through the mesolimbic dopamine system, though is less understood how appetitive control circuits relay information to existing reward circuitry. The adiposity signaling hormone, leptin, is a critical mediator of food intake and fat storage. Leptin signaling, via the long form of the leptin receptor (LepRb), is predominantly carried out within the hypothalamus. Leptin action specific to the lateral hypothalamus area (LHA) modulates reward function via direct and indirect inhibition of reward circuitry. Here, I have identified a novel leptin receptor population within the LHA that co-expresses the inhibitory neuropeptide galanin (termed Gal-LepRb neurons). To investigate the physiological function of leptin through Gal-LepRb neurons, we selectively deleted LepRb in galanin neurons (referred to as Gal-LepRbKO mice). In a two-bottle-choice paradigm, I assessed nutrient selection for isocaloric lipid and sucrose solutions. Interestingly, Gal-LepRbKO mice demonstrated a significant preference for the sucrose solution and decreased lipid intake compared to controls. Moreover, Gal-LepRbKO mice displayed stronger motivation to work for a sucrose treat. My data further indicate that Gal-LepRb neurons are inhibitory acting neurons that are stimulated by leptin. Gal-LepRb neurons strongly innervate local orexin neurons and noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC). Intriguingly, orexin neurons also strongly innervate the LC, and activation of orexin neurons correlates with motivational and food-seeking behaviors. My data also show that orexin neurons express the Gi-coupled GPCR galanin 1-receptor (GalR1), validating the cellular ability of orexin neurons to respond to galanin. In summary, we have characterized a novel population of LHA LepRb neurons and propose that leptin-mediated inhibition of orexin neurons, possibly via inhibitory galanin-GalR1 signaling, regulates the reward value of nutrients.

▼ The present thesis examined the behavioural and brain mechanisms of appetitive – aversive interactions in rats during Pavlovian fear conditioning. The first series of experiments (Chapter 3), characterised appetitive to aversive counterconditioning using a between-subjects design. An auditory conditioned stimulus (CS) was trained with a food unconditioned stimulus (US), after which the reward was omitted and the CS was reinforced with a footshock US. Prior appetitive training retarded the rate at which fear was acquired, compared to novel fear conditioning. Furthermore this retardation was not dependent on the presentation of the CS or US alone. Assessments of associative learning during appetitive- aversive interactions were made using appetitive to aversive superconditioning. Whereby a visual CS was trained with reward during Stage I then presented in compound with an auditory CS and reinforced with footshock during Stage II. Enhanced levels of fear were elicited by the auditory CS on test compared to a stimulus that was not presented in compound with the visual cue during Stage II. Furthermore retardation of fear was not alleviated by manipulations designed to restore the associability of the appetitive CS before fear conditioning but was alleviated by manipulations designed to increase the aversive quality of the footshock US. These findings are consistent with opponent interactions between the appetitive and aversive motivational systems and provide a behavioural approach for assessing the neural correlates of these appetitive-aversive interactions.The second series of experiments (Chapter 4) then examined potential neuroanatomical loci for appetitive-aversive interactions investigated in Chapter 3. Using phosphorylated mitogen activated protein kinase (pMAPK) several substrates indicated increased activity after counterconditioning consistent with enhanced prediction error, in the lateral amygdala, rostral agranular insular cortex (RAIC), nucleus accumbens and parts of the thalamus, whilst there was decreased activity in the ventrolateral quadrant of the periaqueductal gray (vlPAG). Intra-RAIC infusion of the MAPK kinase antagonist PD98059 during aversive conditioning reduced Stage II fear learning, whilst intra-vlPAG infusion of the μ-opioid receptor antagonist CTAP reduced magazine responses. These results suggest that appetitive to aversive counterconditioning is linked to heightened activity in the fear prediction error circuit.

▼ Poor inhibition and high food reward sensitivity are linked with binge eating pathology, but few studies have examined whether these variables predict treatment outcome, especially with neuroimaging methods. We examined the relation of pre-treatment neurobiological correlates and neurocognitive measures of food-based reward inhibition to outcomes from a 7-session Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy guided self-help treatment for binge eating. Participants were 13 adults with clinically significant binge eating (69.2% female; body mass index M=34.68, SD=4.15). Pre-treatment, we measured prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation with a wearable neuroimaging tool, functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy, during a behavioral task with blocks of 5-second video clip trials. We created contrast values between two blocks (12 trials each) that instructed participants to either: cognitively "resist" palatable food videos versus "watch" neutral videos. We additionally measured reward inhibition by performance on a food-based stop-signal task (SST). We examined relation of PFC activity and SST performance to: (1) percent change in binge eating frequency pre-treatment to post-treatment; (2) change in Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) global scores pre- to post-treatment; and (3) percent change in binge eating frequency pre-treatment to 3-month follow-up. Due to the small sample, we reported relations of at least medium strength (r ≥ .3). Greater activation in left ventromedial prefrontal cortex (region responsible for response inhibition) was significantly related to greater decreases pre- to post-treatment in EDE scores (r = .714, p = .047). Other PFC regions responsible for inhibition (left ventrolateral and bilateral ventromedial) showed similar relations with pre- to post-treatment percent changes in binge eating (r = .358 to .418) and changes in EDE scores (r= .500 to .583), at trend level. Greater reward inhibition performance (SST) also significantly related to greater decreases pre- to post-treatment in EDE scores (r = .764, p = .006) and at trend level, related to greater percent decreases pre- to post-treatment in binge eating (r = .469). However, relations between pre-treatment inhibition (neural correlates and inhibition performance) and pre-treatment to post-treatment binge eating change were not maintained by 3-month follow-up. In fact, greater percent increases pre-treatment to 3-month follow-up in binge eating frequency was associated with greater activation in the left ventromedial PFC (r = .345 to .633) and left superior frontal gyrus (r = .582), but all at trend level. Pre-treatment to 3-month follow-up binge frequency change was not related to other inhibition areas of the PFC or reward inhibition performance (SST). We found that there was variability in participant changes in binge eating from post-treatment to 3-month follow-up, including two participants with large decreases in binge eating during treatment but relapses after treatment. Overall, our results extend previous food-based SST research and preliminarily support… Advisors/Committee Members: Juarascio, Adrienne, College of Arts and Sciences.

▼ Organisations accept the fact that innovation is a crucial element in achieving long-term competitive advantage. The key business challenge, however, lies in acquiring the expertise and methodologies needed to effectively motivate, support and nurture innovation. South African companies in particular are performing poorly in developing effective reward strategies to encourage and motivate innovation. This research therefore investigates the critical success factors for rewarding and motivating innovation in the workplace. The results of this study should assist executive managers to formulate reward strategies to stimulate innovation. In line with qualitative research methodological principles, this study followed an exploratory approach to investigating the important factors in rewarding innovation. A total of 15 in-depth interviews were held with executive managers within the Financial Services sector. The sample represented a diverse group of highly successful business leaders, including General Managers (such as CEOs), Human Resource practitioners (such as HR directors) and Innovation Leaders (such as R&D leaders). Key findings reflect that a multi-faceted reward strategy is required to motivate innovation. This includes financial rewards, non-financial rewards, learning and development opportunities, as well as specific elements within the work environment. Leadership was found to be a critical success factor in the implementation of an effective total reward strategy. The research allowed for the development of a framework outlining the critical success factors for rewarding and motivating innovation in the workplace. This is believed to be a useful tool for senior managers who wish to develop a total reward strategy to increase the level of innovation within their organisations. This study also contributes to the body of academic knowledge by clarifying the relationship between innovation and the notion of total reward, which was identified as a gap in the literature.
