Reward Management and Job Satisfaction among Health Workers Employees in Al-Medina Region, (2024) Cross-Sectional Survey

Abstract

The reward system consists of financial rewards as well as non-financial rewards. Choosing appropriate incentives and benefits for staff members has always been a challenge for those in charge of human resource management. There are a lot of organizations in the health industry that aren't able to pinpoint the specific kinds of rewards that are most effective at fostering job satisfaction in their employees. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between financial rewards and job satisfaction as well as examine the sorts of rewards that will affect employees' job satisfaction. Additionally, this research looked at the types of rewards that will affect employees' job satisfaction. In the course of this investigation, both base salary increases (a kind of financial reward) and recognition (a form of non-financial reward) were taken into consideration. This study's sample population consisted of health care personnel who were employed by the Ministry of Health in Madinah and Saudi Arabia's hospitals and primary healthcare centers. 285 questionnaires were sent online to participants, of which 192 were collected for analysis. During the course of this investigation, four possibilities were considered and examined. Using correlation and multiple regression analysis, the data were evaluated. The findings showed that rewards, both financial and nonfinancial, have a positive and substantial association with job satisfaction; financial rewards had a correlation of 0.819, while nonfinancial rewards had a correlation of 0.740. According to the findings of the regression analysis, financial rewards (with a coefficient of determination of 0.597) have a more significant bearing on levels of job satisfaction than do non-financial rewards (with a coefficient of determination of 0.438).
