Abstract

This paper examines the extent to which reward systems in the fast-food industry can determine employee voluntary and involuntary mobility where organizational climate is a moderating variable. 200 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to 10 fast-food restaurants and 163 copies were returned and useful for analyses. This study realized the fact that employees within the fast-food restaurants place more value on non-monetary rewards than they do for monetary rewards.
