This paper examines employees’ rewards and job commitment to an organisation. Rewards are economic and non-economic gains one secure from a job. It’s basically concern with pay and employee benefits which determine how workers are committed to their job. Adequate rewards for employees often paved way for a high degree of job satisfaction as well as achieving the desired goals of the management in an organisation. This paper is anchored on the interpretative understanding of expectancy theory by Victor Vroom which has a better understanding of explaining the behavioural process of why an individual will decide to behave or act in a certain way. It is expected that the management of an organisation should pay much attention to the plight of employees on remuneration-related matters because their dissatisfaction could lead to non-performance and poor productivity in the workplace. However, the management or the managers needs to motivate, attracts, satisfy and retains their employees to achieve the highest guarantee for organisational success, productivity and performance for the organisation.
