Module 14: Discussion Forum
In today’s turbulent economic times, reward systems, in many
organizations, have been revised/modified, thereby resulting in
frustration, uncertainty, loss of security, etc. In fact, many
organizations have cut base pay, reduced short-term incentives,
eliminated long-term incentives, and more. Due to COVID-19,
organizations are struggling to maintain financial stability.
Unfortunately, employees often feel the brunt of the reward
cutbacks.
For this week’s discussion forum, please select an organization
of your choice. The organization can be based in the KSA or
anywhere else in the world. No student should select the same
organization as his/her classmates. In your post, address the
following:
Explain what type of reward system is utilized.
Then, consider that a 20% cut needs to be made, in regard to
rewards, to ensure organizational success. What types of
rewards would you recommend cutting? How might you use
intangible returns to make up for monetary cuts? What types of
intangible returns could you use? Why?
Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories
(require supporting citations) in your initial response along with
at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in
mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi
Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to
scholarly references. Use Saudi Electronic University academic
writing standards and APA style guidelines.

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument,
citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early
and check back often to continue the discussion.
You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion
question post answers to this weekly discussion question. These
peer replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature.
They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze
that post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these
two peer replies but is expected throughout the course.
Answering all course questions is also required.
