Influence of Reward Policies on Employee Commitment

Abstract

Reward management is an important aspect of the human resource function in that it serves the strategic purposes of attracting, motivating and retaining employees. It is the process of developing and implementing strategies, policies and systems which help the organization to achieve its objectives by obtaining and keeping the people it needs and by increasing their motivation and commitment. The Public health sector in Kenya has had numerous strikes as a result of poor reward management schemes. This study sought to establish the effect of reward policies on employee commitment.
