Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this study is to explain the relationship between reward and motivation. From this point of view; the effects of rewards on motivation have been treated within the theoretical framework. The relationship between reward and motivation is one of the most long-term debates in organizational behavior research. The theories about reward and motivation can be placed into two groups. The first group advocates that extrinsic rewards enhance motivation. These theories threat motivation as an effort or performance. Second group suggests that externally controlled rewards can undermine better quality motivation. In other words some forms of rewards might increase the amount of poorer quality of motivation (extrinsic) and decrease the amount of better quality of motivation(intrinsic). According to the self-determination theory the rewards affect extrinsic motivation as externally, introjected, identified and integrated.
