for the employees in order to enhance their contribution in the
organizations. The purpose of this study is to conduct a thorough
literature review on the relationship between reward and recognition

provision of incentives, appreciations, concrete rewards and
recognition. In this regard the study suggests that organizations can
achieve their goals and aims through motivated employees and
