Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe and explain employees’ preferences for
non-monetary rewards. Based on employees' career concepts and motives and other aspects
of their personal life, the study looks into the individual needs for non-monetary rewards as a
lever that increases engagement at work.
Theoretical perspectives: The theoretical chapter firstly presents theories about engagement
and non-monetary rewards. Subsequently, the career model is described and the chapter ends
with a background on the travel industry.
Methodology: A qualitative approach has been used. Semi-structured interviews with
open-ended questions and questionnaire-like questions were performed with employees in the
online travel market.
Empirical foundation: The empirical data consists of the answers and results we got from
the interviews.
Conclusion: We have found a wide variety of different types of non-monetary rewards and
individual preferences for them. One found pattern is that different career orientations and
aspects of personal lives impact employees’ preferences for non-monetary rewards. The
understanding of what kind of non-monetary rewards a person needs is closely related to how
aware they are of their career orientation and the motives they truly have. For example, while
Expert specialists tended to prefer rewards to refine their skills and get recognition, broader
generalists preferred more improved work environment rewards. (Less)
