This literature review explores the relationship between reward systems and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Research indicates that reward mechanisms, including monetary and non-monetary incentives, significantly enhance employees' OCB manifestations, thereby improving organizational performance. Rewards serve not only as a means to motivate OCB but also, in some cases, as a direct outcome of such behaviors. The review emphasizes that effective reward strategies are crucial for stimulating and maintaining OCB, making them key to enhancing overall organizational effectiveness.
