A well-designed reward system aligns the well-being of organization members with their contributions to competent strategy execution and the achievement of performance targets. This means that the rewards system should be fair and contribute to the overall success of the organization while also motivating employees to perform well. The other choices are not as appropriate because a good reward system should not induce stress or anxiety, deny rewards outright, or focus solely on weeding out low performers. Additionally, the idea of a 50-50 balance between positive and negative rewards and between monetary and non-monetary rewards is not a hard-and-fast rule in every situation.
