A STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REWARD MANAGEMENT AS A MOTIVATIONAL TOOL IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN DUBAI

An effective employee reward system is vital for organizations. It provides a structured framework for recognizing employees based on their contributions, skills, and market value, aligning with the organization's reward philosophy. These rewards help communicate values and set performance expectations, encouraging behaviors that support organizational goals. When creating a reward system, consider: “What motivates employees?” “What behaviors do we want to encourage?” and “How can rewards support those behaviors?” Employees should be viewed as stakeholders in the reward system, having a say in the policies that affect them. The system must be fair, consistent, and transparent to help employees understand how rewards impact them. This research decisively explores reward management as a key motivational tool in Dubai's construction industry. It collects primary data from expatriates with zero to four years of experience. The objective is to thoroughly evaluate the effectiveness of both monetary and non-monetary rewards in enhancing employee motivation and to uncover insightful perceptions from the workforce. Based on thorough data analysis, present actionable recommendations for a robust rewards package designed to significantly enhance employee motivation
