INTRODUCTION
In the modern era, most employers are looking for ways of motivating employees in order to increase work productivity and performance. Some may say motivation is intrinsic and can’t be developed through external means; others may say utterly contradictory to the above. Financial rewards are a fundamental part of the employment relationship and can be used effectively by the management in order to motivate the workforce (Kvaløy, Nieken and Schöttner, 2015).
The current study has been carried out to demonstrate the organisational behaviour and motivation influenced by an initial effort that is financial rewards. Furthermore, the organisational theories that are applied in an organisational setting along with the problems associated with it the same. Moreover, the evaluation of potential organisational situations and formulation of proactive managerial interventions has been identified in the present report.

Businesses are required to focus on identifying different tools and techniques which can be used to motivate workers and encourage them to give their best towards success and growth of enterprise.
Incentives have a practical impact on employees; financial rewards offer direct and lasting satisfaction and are considered a lot valuable than other motivation programs.
There are several issues related to the above, quite a times these led to different consequences because performance-based rewards encourage compliance rather than creativity and innovation among the workforce. There are probabilities that the organisation is sometimes unable to reward their workforce or employees within the specific or desired term. Also, employers are not always able to provide every deserving candidate with the incentives or rewards (Sarker, Ortega-Vazquez and Kirschen, 2015).
In such situations, employees who seek the rewards for their excellent work may get demotivated. In some cases, where employees want to achieve the target in order to earn rewards, may not be able to achieve the goal due to market-related factors...
