Exploring the Effects of Contingent Rewards on Employee Responsiveness and Affective Commitment

Abstract

    The leading attribute of ‘transactional-leadership’ is ‘contingent-rewards’ which is supposed to be generating positive outcomes from the employees’ performance. For example, the ‘employee-responsiveness’ is increased when employees are rewarded for their worthy performances. The robotic behaviors by leadership have apprehensions of uninvited effects like employees’ discouragement, on the other hand, commitment with work when rewards are attached only with physical and external behavior, efforts and outputs. The employees feel unrecognized; as human beings, it is obviously a critical objective of every single employee for seeking a good professional status. Data were collected from the employees, working in higher education institutions. The study statistically measured the contingent rewards links with employees’ responsiveness and affective commitment. The results support the assumptions extracted from theoretical framework. The findings suggest that leadership in higher institution needs to implement the best suitable blend of different rewards as per distinct requirements of job and as per efforts and knowledge of workforces.
