INTRODUCTION.
Reward and Recognition.
“People may forget words; People may forget actions; but people will always remember
Respect, Recognition & Appreciation given to them publicly for their contributions....”
In a world characterized by increased global competition, and a rapidly changing business
environment, companies and organization are forced to continuously re-evaluate how they work.
Since the first systematic studies of manual labor began during the last century, the focus has
changed from a strict control of employees increased globalization, and the emergence of Human
Resource Management during the 80‟s. Research shows that employee compensation can account
for as much as 70-80 percent of companies cost, but also show that the value of a company’s
human capital can significantly affect the market value of the company. Studies also show that
managers see non - monetary reward and recognition systems as very effective in reaching eight
out of ten organizational objectives. In order for an organization to meet its obligations to
shareholders, employees and society, its top management must develop a relationship between the
organization and employees that will fulfill the continually changing needs of both parties. At a
minimum the organization expects employees to perform reliably the tasks assigned to them and
at the standards set for them, and to follow the rules that have been established to govern the
workplace. Management often expects more: that employees take initiative, supervise themselves,
continue to learn new skills, and be responsive to business needs. At a minimum, employees
expect their organization to provide fair pay, safe working conditions, and fair treatment.
Traditionally most reward and recognition programs were vague and often given in response to a
manager’s perception of when an employee performed exceptionally well. There were usually no
set standards by which exceptional performance could be measured, and it could have meant
anything from having a good attitude, assisting another department, or being consistently
punctual. In current organizational settings this is no longer the case, as organizations understand
the great gains derived by linking rewards and recognition to their business. Accordingly, this
piece of work deals with all the relevant factors of rewards and recognition, as a motivational tool
to attract and keep employees. This encompasses information regarding basic purpose of the
program, methods and techniques used to perform these, its implementation in various
organization and findings & drawbacks.

REWARDS AND RECOGNITION.
“Rewards and recognitions are fine; but they should be focused
on showing people that we truly appreciate their efforts.”
In a competitive market, more business owners are looking at development in quality while
reducing costs. This system deals with the assessment of job values, the plan and manage-,
performance management; pay for performance, competence or skill, the provision of employee
benefits and pensions. Importantly, reward and recognition system is also concerned with the
development of appropriate managerial cultures, foundation core values and increasing the motivation
and commitment of employees. Reward system processes cover both financial and non -financial
rewards
Employee Reward and Recognition Systems
In a competitive business climate, more business owners are looking at improvements in
quality while reducing costs. Meanwhile, a strong economy has resulted in a tight job market. So while
l businesses need to get more from their employees, their employee s are looking for more out of them.
Employee reward and recognition programs are one method of motivating employees to change work
habits and key behaviors to benefit a business.

7
PROCEDURES OF REWARD AND RECOGNITION
This section provides step -by -step, a general procedure to assist managers in the development
and assessment of recognition programs that are beneficial and meaningful to your employees.
TYPES OF REWARD & RECOGNITION
 Membership and seniority based rewards
 Job status based rewards
 Competency based rewards
 Performance based rewards.
Types of Recognition
 Recognition events such as banquets or breakfasts,
 Employee of the month or year recognition,
 An annual report or yearbook which features the accomplishments of
 employees, and
 Department or company recognition boards.
 Informal or spontaneous recognition
 additional support or empowering the employee
 Symbolic recognition
 Latter of expressions (thanks.)

METHODS OF REWARDS& RECOGNITION.
1. Basic Pay :
Pay is an essential factor, which is closely related to job satisfaction and motivation Althrough
motivation. Al though pay may not be a reward as this is a static amount , which an employee
will be paid every month, it will be considered as a reward if similar work is paid less.
2. Additional Hour's Rewards:
This is similar to that of overtime. However, it is paid to employees if they put in an
extra hour of work for working at unsocial hours or for working long hours on top of overtime
hours.
3. Commission
Many organizations pay commission to sales staff based on the sales that they have
generated. The commission is based on the number of successful sales and the total business
revenue that they have made. This is a popular method of incentive.
4. Bonuses
Bonuses will be paid to employees, who meet their targets and objectives.This is
aimed at employees to improve their performance and to work harder.
5. Performance RelatedPay.
This is typically paid to employees, who have met or exceeded their targets and
objectives. This method of reward can be measured at either team or
department level .
6. Profits Related Pay:
Profits related pay is associated with if an organization is incurring a prof it situation.
If the organization is getting more than the expected prof i ts, then employees receive an
additional amount of money that has been defined .

INDUSTRY PROFILE.
BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING
ABOUT BPO
BPO - stands for Business Process Outsourcing. There is a common misconception that B.P.O.
and call centres, mean one and the same.
A call centre is a remote location in India wherein calls made by customers abroad are
routed India by means of telecommunication equipment’s. This call is answered by call centre
agents who are trained to speak in an accent which the customer can understand. This accent is
commonly referred to as Neutral Accent
Coming to the term Business Process Outsourcing, let us understand the term in a simple
way by breaking it up. There is a business. Each business has got a process. A process means a
specific way or method of doing a job. Those jobs which are routine in nature, are given to
countries outside India, to save money by way of salaries.
OVERVIEW OF VARIOUS CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE BPO INDUSTRY
 Voice Process (Inbound and Outbound)
 Semi Voice Process or Back Office Support
 Medical Transcription
 Medical Billing
 Data Entry
 E-Mail Support
 Knowledge Process Outsourcing
 Recruitment Process Outsourcing
 Education Process Outsourcing

11
 Legal Process Outsourcing
 Technical Writing
 Content Writing
 Web Designing
ABOUT NASSCOM
NASSCOM stands for National Association of Software and Servicing Companies
 It regulates the functioning of the IT and ITES industry
 IT means Information Technology which includes software programming and ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning)
 ITES stands for Information Technology Enabled Services, which includes, BPO, KPO, RPO,
EPO and LPO
A call centre is a set up in India, wherein calls which are routine in nature made by foreign
customers are routed to India and answered by agents who are trained to speak in an accent,
which a person from the other country can understand. The basic reason for outsourcing these
routine jobs was to save money on salaries and infrastructure. There are two basic functions
which any call centre performs:
INBOUND
(Taking incoming calls)
Incoming calls means calls made by the customer to the call centre agent which is
customer service. Just to give an example, a person banking with CITI BANK in the U.S. would
call to know the balance in his account or a customer may call up the customer service to know
whether his bank charges have been reversed.

12
OUTBOUND
(Making outgoing calls)
Outgoing calls focus on selling a product or service. In this type of calling, the dialer will
automatically dial numbers of customers at random from the database and the call centre
executive will sell a product or service to the customer.
If a bank has come out with new products, the call centre agent can call up the existing customers
of the bank and try to promote the new service. This process is called as cross selling.
TYPES OF CALL CENTERS
Call Centres can be classified in two major categories:
DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL
DOMESTIC CALL CENTERS
Domestic call centres handle sales and customer service only for Indian companies.
DOMESTIC CALL CENTERS IN INDIA
 Reliance Mobile
 Airtel
 Idea
 Vodafone
 ABN-ABRO Bank
 ICICI Bank
INTERNATIONAL CALL CENTERS
International call centres handle sales and customer service for foreign clients.
 Both Domestic and International call centres can be classified into two major categories:
 CAPTIVE B.P.O AND THIRD PARTY B.P.O

13
CAPTIVE BPO
In the case of a Captive BPO, the parent company will set up a dedicated call centre
for servicing its own clients. The objective of setting up a captive B.P.O is to ensure that
customers get excellent and quality service within the least possible time.
EXAMPLES OF CAPTIVE B.P.O IN INDIA
 H.S.B.C (Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation)
 CITIBANK
 PRUDENTIAL (Leading player in the insurance segment in U.K.)
THIRD PARTY BPO
Under this, you have one B.P.O. or one company handling many accounts or processes. To
take an example, one B.P.O. say HCL, could handle 6 processes, of which 3 processes could be
from U.K., 2 processes from U.S. and one process from Australia. These processes can again be
either inbound or outbound or a combination of both.
All third party BPO’s are rated each year by NASSCOM on the basis of set parameters.
EXAMPLES OF THIRD PARTY B.P.O
 WNS Global Services
 Genpact
 Allsec Technologies
 Accenture
 HCL B.P.O. (HCL Chennai)

14
HIERARCHY IN A CALL CENTER
VERTICAL GROWTH
1. SERVICE DELIVERY MANAGER ( Responsible for all the processes )
2. OPERATIONS MANAGER ( Fully responsible for one process )
3. TEAM LEADER ( Responsible for his team performance which normally consists of 15 call
centre agents and 2 team coaches )
4. SENIOR CALL CNTR EXECUTIVE TEAM COACH ( Takes calls and also helps new
recruits in handling calls )
5. CALL CENTER EXECUTIVE ( Makes or receives calls )
ADVANTAGES OF THE BPO INDUSTRY
 Provides employment opportunities to large number of people
 Good salary levels ensure better standard of living
 Employees hone their skills to be an excellent oral communicator and a powerful listener
 Ongoing training programs help employees to add on to their skill set and thereby become
better professionals
 All the BPO in the top rung, sponsor employees for professional programs. This not only
helps employees to acquire a professional qualification, but also opens up new career options
within the B.P.O. industry
 Call center provide employees with a world class working environment, coupled with
fantastic perks and incentives which motivate employees to give their best
 The call center industry gives the employee, a chance to work across multiple functions. For
example, an employee who performs well as an agent gets a chance to grow horizontally or
vertically

15
Employees have to make internal adjustments since they have to work in teams. Moreover
in the B.P.O industry the whole team has to work hand in glove with each other. Any
misunderstanding will severely affect the whole team and they also stand the danger of losing
their job. Over a period of time, all employees become excellent team players.
PRESENT SCENARIO OF THE BPO INDUSTRY
There is no doubt that the outsourcing business has come to stay in India. The advantage
that India provides the foreign clients is the availability of a good English speaking population,
who are well educated and ambitious, coupled with the savings that foreign clients make with
respect to salaries and infrastructure.
Another unmatched advantage is the average age of the work force in India, which is just
30 years, as compared with any other country in the world, where the average age varies between
45 and Since the B.P.O industry requires a very young crowd this huge advantage cannot be
matched by any country in the world.
Earlier only routine jobs were outsourced to India. This scenario has totally changed.
Apart from routine jobs, high end jobs are also outsourced, which has paved the way for functions
like KPO, RPO, Technical writing and so on.
Over the last few years there have been a few stray cases of frauds taking place within the
BPO industry. This is not a serious problem as portrayed by the fourth estate. Such frauds are very
common in countries like US and UK, where BPO employ lakhs of people. But in India, the kind
of hype the media generates, show these happenings to have damaging consequences on the BPO
industry.
To tackle the problem of frauds, NASSCOM has taken the initiative to come up with a
cyber law which punishes any employee who resorts to unethical practices. As part of the ongoing
process, NASSCOM is taking it on priority to make the security systems as fool proof as
possible.Another initiative is the appointment of verification agencies to ensure that the
information given by the candidate in his resume is authentic.

16
BPO INDUSTRY
An All India Ranking System known as NAC (Nasscom Assessment of Competence) is on
the cards for all candidates who want to be a part of this industry, thereby ensuring quality
manpower and reducing the recruitment time of HR personnel and thereby help them focus on
critical issues.
The NAC test is online and tests the candidate on all skills required for a call centre
executive, which is an entry level position. The NAC test will be mandatory for all BPO aspirants
in the near future.
Though countries like China, Vietnam and Philippines are gearing up to get a chunk of the
business, there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever, that India will continue to be the most preferred
destination. Even though the wages in countries like China and Philippines are low as compared
with India, still the availability of a young work force makes India the preferred choice.
Initially the B.P.O. industry was looked down upon by people from other industries. But
gradually with the passage of time and the emergence of new areas like K.P.O , R.P.O, E.P.O,
Content Writing, Technical Writing and so on, which requires highly qualified and experienced
personnel with professional qualifications and specialized skill, professionals have started looking
at the B.P.O. industry seriously, as a long term career option.

CHAPTER-II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE

25
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
 Albert Bandura (1969):
The implications of social learning theory for employee motivation are abundant and
hence it is imperative to assess the theory in the light of the present research concern. According
to the theory, the importance associated to the concept of recognition would depend on an
individual's past experiences and his or her self belief about it. Likewise, one's perception would
also be influenced by others (top management and senior) behavior. That is to say the social
learning theory plays a critical role in understanding an individual's perception of recognition and
the value associated with it.
 Heikki (2009):
The phenomenon of recognition as introduced in the earlier chapter provides for Individual
political, social and psychological benefits. After food, it is by far the most significant of human
needs and as Heikki (2009) points out, "without recognition humans in general would not lead a
life above merely animal existence." (Heikki 2009, p.39) Role of recognition in driving human
action can be gauged by its placement in the various theories of motivation; need for recognition
has been a part of both the traditional and contemporary theories of motivation.
 David McClelland (1953):
Maslow's need theory and condensed it to three main needs for power, affiliation and
achievement. Here again the need for recognition is manifested in all the three forms of needs
suggested by McClelland. Frederick Herzberg (1959) opined that human needs were derived
either from animal instincts of humans (survival, hunger etc) or from an individual's urge to
realize potential. He and his associates developed a framework of two factor theory called
motivation and hygiene theory which categorized factors associated with work as either
motivators (driven from intrinsic needs) or movers (driven from extrinsic needs). Recognition was
found in Herzberg's study as a source of motivation when given in the form of direct feedback.

26
Alderfer's ERG theory (1972):
Alderfer's ERG theory (1972) also points out the role of recognition in context of an
individual's need for relatedness. Thus as a basic psychological need of human beings, recognition
invariably finds its place in need based theories of human work motivation. A comparison of all
such theories illustrates the congruence as they relate to the same set of needs. Figure 2.1. depicts
a comparison of content theories; other than the lower order needs, recognition finds its place at
the higher end of the hierarchy. Through recognition from group members an individual satisfies
the need for acceptance in social life. Through recognition of an individual's efforts, one satisfies
the need for self-esteem and self-actualization.
 Gneezy (2003) :
The Gneezy conclude that effect of extrinsic rewards on performance depends on the size
of reward and that counterproductivity happens in case of small incentives and not large ones.
Citing a study by Lazear(2000), (where a 44% rise in productivity was observed with a change in
the payment scheme), Gneezy asserts that economic theory and psychological and sociological
findings for the role of reward depends on the size of reward. It is concluded that using high
payoffs that are contingent on performance result in higher productivity. A plot with incentives on
the horizontal axis (such that fines are on the negative side and rewards on the positive), and
performance on the vertical axis, resulted in a W-shaped graph.
 Morgan (1984)
The reviewed literature in the field of class room learning and intrinsic motivation and
concluded that undermining and enhancing effect of rewards depends on circumstances and that
the effect does not necessarily lead to decrement in performance. It was suggested that recipient's
perspective of reward was important in determining the effect of reward and that the reward size
and type did not matter. The study disapproves of 'blanket condemnation of concrete rewards' as
proposed by the overjustification theory.

27
 Eisenberger and Cameron (1996)
It suggested that it is time to move beyond the traditional notion of detrimental effect of
rewards. It is asserted by the authors that the negative effect of rewards is largely restricted and
that positive effects can be attained easily with the use of behavioral theory techniques.
 Elaborating on the nature of rewards, Weick (1978) :
He discussed the role of individual's instrumentality in determining the impact made by a
reward. Taking further the argument of 'no universal reward' author claimed that an individual's
instrumentality keeps changing with situation and as such which reward would determine what in
whom was difficult to answer. "When using instrumentality notions, we must remember that
instrumentality is fluid and malleable rather than stable and durable. A person's ideas about
instrumentality itself can shift dramatically overtime.
 Lawerence Lindhal (1949),
He conducted a series of researches where employees consistently ranked items such as
"full appreciation for work done", "feeling in on things", and "interesting work" as being more
important to them than the traditional incentives such as "good wages", "job security", or
"promotion/growth opportunities". (Cited in Nelson 2001) Lindhal's study had set off a large
number of studies in this area and the results of the study were replicated by many researchers like
Kenneth Kovach (1980), Valerie Wilson, Achievers International (1988), Bob Nelson, Blanchard
Training & Development (1991), Sheryl & Don Grimme, GHR Training Solutions (1997-2001).

Research is the process of systematic and in-depth study or search for any particular topic,
subject or area of investigation, backed by collection, compilation, presentation and interpretation
of relevant details or data.
4.1 RESEARCH PROCESS
In research process, the first and foremost step is defining and selecting a research
problem. A Researcher should at first find the problem. Then he should formulate it so that it
becomes susceptible to research. For a systematic presentation, the process of research may be
classified under three stages-primary stages, secondary stage, and the tertiary stage.
The primary stage includes
 Observation
 Interest
 Formulating research problems
 Documentation
 Research designs
The secondary stage includes
 Project planning
 Data collection
 Questionnaire preparation
 Analysis of data
 Testing of hypothesis
 Interpretation
 Questionnaire preparation.

38
The Tertiary stage includes-
 Report writing
 Observation, suggestions, and conclusions
 Preparation of bibliography.
To extract the most information are given below,
Type of research : Descriptive research.
Research approach : Survey method,
Source of data : Primary and Secondary data.
Sample size : 120.
Mode of data collection : Personal interview method.
Data collection Instrument : Questionnaire.
Sampling design : Simple random sampling.
The research design is arrangements of condition for collection and analysis of data in the Liner
that aim to combine relevance to the research purpose and the procedure.
TYPE OF RESEARCH
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
Descriptive research has been used, it involves survey and fact finding enquiries if
different kinds, the purpose of descriptive research are the descriptive of state of affairs, as it
exists at present.

39
PROJECT PLANNING
Project planning is the first step in actually conducting & directing a research Project. It
is one of the most important tasks of a researcher. This includes formulation of the re8oircher
objectives & goals and determining ways of achieving them.
DATA COLLECTION:
Data collection is one of the most important aspects of research. The information intough
research methodology must be accurate and relevant. The data collection method can be classified
into two methods.
PRIMARY DATA
Questionnaire method have been used as a tool for a data collection in this research.
SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data means data that are already available i.e., they refer to data which has
already been collected and analysed by someone else. The secondary data for the study was
collected from book, company websites, magazines and other sources.
QUESTIONNAIRE PREPARATION
The basic requisite of any research study is the appropriate data which can be collected
with the help of a schedule or questionnaire. With the help of questionnaire it is easy to determine
the involvement level of so many employees in the organization.

40
PILOT SURVEY
Before collecting the relevant data to test the hypothesis, it is essential to ascertain the
applicability of the instrument to the population being studies. Hence, a pilot study was
undertaken with an objective to evaluate the tools prepared for the study and to find whether they
are providing the information required.
TYPE OF QUESTIONS
 Linker’s scaling question
 Rank question
 Satisfaction scale
 Agreeability scale .
HYPOTHESIS TESTING
H0 – Null hypothesis (there is no significant relationship between the variables).
Ha – Alternative hypothesis (there is significant relationship between the variables) .
After analysing the data, hypothesis testing is done. It will result in either accepting or rejecting
the hypothesis.
4.8 INFERENCE
After telling the hypothesis, the researcher comes out with his conclusion. The explanation
of theory can also be considered as inference.
4.9 PREPATION OF REPORT AND PRESENTATION OF REPORT
Finally, the researcher has to prepare a final report along with conclusion and suggestion.

41
SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION
N=10, P=0.8, Q=0.2
Therefore sample S.D = √ (pq/n)
= √ (0.8*0.2)/10
= 0.1032
Sample size (n) = Z2 (S.D) 2/e2
Z = Standard normal value
E=Error limit
The organization preferred limit error to 4% at 115% confidence limit
Z = 1.96
N = Z2*(S.D)2 /e2 = (1.96)2*(0.1032)2/(0.02)2
= 123.2
Therefore Sample size = 120.
STATISTICAL TOOLS USED FOR ANALYSIS ;
The data collected are classified, analyzed and calculated. The statistical tools are applied
for the analysis of the data. The tools used are percentage analysis, chi – square test, ONE-WAY
ANOVA, TWO-WAY ANOVA.
PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS
Percentage is referred as a special kind ratio. Percentage is used in making comparison
between two or more series of data. They are used to describe relationship. More over percentages
can be used to compare the relative terms of the distribution of two or more series of data.
FORMULA Percentage of respondents= no. of respondents*100/total No. of Respondents.

42
CHI – SQUARE TEST
Chi – square test is a non-parametric technique, most commonly used for a research to test
the analysis. The main objective of chi – square is to determine whether significant difference
exist among group of data. The chi – square test provides a method testing the association
between the row and column in a two way table.
FORMULA
CHI – SQUARE TEST= Σ[(Oi-Ei)^2]/Ei
Oi= Observed frequency
Ei= Expected frequency
Degree of freedom= (r-1) (c-1)
Where r represents the number of rows in two way table and c represent the number of columns.
ANOVA
In statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a collection of statistical models, and their
associated procedures, in which the observed variance in a particular variable is portioned 42
into components attributable to different sources of variance. In its simplest form ANOVA
provides a statistical test of whether or not the means of several groups are always equal, and
therefore generalizes t-test to more than two groups. Doing multiple two-sample t-tests would
result in an increased chance of committing a type I error. For this reason ANOVA as useful in
comparing two, three or more means.

43
4. ONE WAY ANOVA
In the one way ANOVA, there is just one factor, and the null hypothesis is that the
population means are equal for the respective treatments, or factor levels. Treatments are
randomly assigned to the persons or test units in the experiment, so this method is also referred to
as the components: an overall mean, the effect of a treatment, and a random error due to sampling.
The variance ratio is
F= between column variance/ within column variance
(Or) = Greater variance / smaller variance.

44
TWO – WAY ANOVA
In two – way ANOVA, there are two factors, each of which operates on two or more
levels. In this design, it is no longer appropriate to refer to the factor levels of treatments, since
each combination of their levels constitutes a separate treatment. The two – way ANOVA
examines the main effects of the level of both factors as well as interactive effects associated with
the combinations of their levels. Accordingly, significance tests include those for the main effects
of each factor and for interactive effects between the combinations of factor levels. The numerator
degrees of freedom comes from each effect, and the denominator degrees of freedom is the degree
of freedom for within variance in each case.

Conclusion.
Rewards and recognition are equally important when trying to promote performance and
morale among employees. The above methods can be used to motivate employees.Since all the
methods may not be applicable to the same organization, the organizations should make sure that
they choose the best rewards that suit the organization .The most effective ways to motivate
employees to achieve the desired goals of the organization include creating an environment with
strong, respectful and supportive relationships between t he organization‟s managers/supervisors
and employees and a focus on genuine expressions of appreciation for specific employee
achievements, service milestones and a day -today acknowledgment of performance excellence .
In a nutshell, a positive employee reward and recognition strategy can be summed up by the
following: nothing is better than a sincere “thank you for a job well done.”
