Abstract

This research seeks to examine the impact of a reward system on staff performance within the Technical Implementation Unit responsible for Road Maintenance and Drainage Operations in Medan City. A quantitative approach with an explanatory design was employed. The entire population consisted of 38 employees, all of whom were selected as respondents (total sampling). Data were gathered via questionnaires and processed using simple linear regression. The findings indicated that the reward system positively and significantly influenced employee performance, as shown by a t-value of 3.546 (exceeding the t-table value of 2.032) and a significance level of 0.001 (below 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.259 reveals that the reward system accounts for 25.9% of the variation in employee performance. Consequently, any improvement in the quality of the reward system will lead to an enhancement in employee performance.
