Project Title: Non-Monetary Incentives to Company’s Managers to Affect their Employees
Overview: This research project will focus on the impacts of the nonmonetary incentives to company’s managers to affect their employees. Non-monetary incentives have many forms, such as “Employee of the Month,” “Rookie of the Year,” and other simple recognitions to employees. The data has been collected by Dr. Ann Dzuranin, in 2005, for her Ph. D research, and the collected data will be analyzed with IBM SPSS program.
This research will provide information of how non-monetary incentives affect employees, and the information will enhance business knowledge of young business leaders at Northern Illinois University
(NIU). Throughout the year, this research will also help me prepare for research projects in the future and to establish basic knowledge in the research process by helping a professor from the Department of Accountancy at NIU.
Daihee on what being a Research Rookie means: “Being a Research Rookie means that I have a prestigious opportunity to work with a great mentor from the Department of Accountancy, and throughout the year I am confident that I will learn practical skills for my future career.”
