    The positive effects of being able to identify and effectively manage the motivational needs of employees of a company cannot be overemphasized. However this is not an easy task as employees, as human as they are, have complex behavioral responses to different types of motivational schemes. This complexity increases in the case of multinational firms in their quest to identify and manage the motivational needs of employees who are host-country nationals as this requires cultural sensitivity among other factors.

The purpose of this paper was to explore the effects of cultural values of host country on the reward and compensation management practices of a subsidiary of a multinational company from a theoretical perspective. This was done through a critical review of papers that employed various cultural characteristics and their influence on employees reward preferences.…
