Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the rewards that motivate employees in organisations in universities, and to identify the most effective types of rewards that can improve employee motivation and organisational success.
 Methodology: This study utilizes a mixed-method approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The target population for the study consisted of senior members, senior staff and junior staff of the University with a sample size of 196. A stratified random sampling method was used in selecting staff from the three categories. The qualitative data will be collected through in-depth interviews with employees from various positions in universities, while the quantitative data will be collected through a survey. The data was analysed descriptively using mean scores to identify the factors that influence the effectiveness of rewards in motivating employees.
 Research Limitation: This study is limited by its sample size, which may not fully capture the diverse range of employees in universities. Additionally, the study's findings may be limited by the specific context in which the study is conducted.
 Findings: An association between reward and productivity in the workplace was found in the study. Yet, the data also revealed that Cape Coast Technical University does not have a well-defined strategy for reward systems. As a result, workers felt that the institution did not treat them fairly.
 Practical Implications: The study's findings are expected to have significant practical implications for universities, as they can use the insights gained from this study to develop more effective reward systems that can motivate their employees.
 Social Implications: The social implications of this research are essential, as motivated employees are more likely to engage with students and provide better educational experiences, which can benefit society as a whole. By improving employee motivation and job satisfaction, universities can provide a better learning environment for their students and contribute to social welfare.
 Originality/Value/ Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its focus on rewards that motivate employees in organisations in the higher education sector. While previous studies have explored employee motivation in various sectors, this study's specific focus on universities adds to the existing body of knowledge.
