Abstract:

Leadership plays a crucial role in shaping organizational success, and reward-based leadership has emerged as an effective approach to motivating employees and enhancing productivity. Reward-based leadership is built on the principle of reinforcing desired behaviors through incentives, recognition, and structured performance-based rewards. This leadership style aligns with the principles of transactional leadership, where contingent rewards serve as a driving force behind employee engagement and output. The impact of reward-based leadership on employee morale is profound, as it fosters a sense of appreciation, encourages goal-oriented behavior, and establishes clear expectations. Employees are more likely to remain committed and motivated when they perceive that their efforts are recognized and rewarded.
