Abstract

Employers seek to enhance employee dedication and increase company productivity while controlling operating costs; hence, companies have recently been investing more in human resource (HR) programs and recognition practices. The honors thesis I recently completed at Brigham Young University sought to augment practioners’ and academicians’ knowledge about HR programs and recognition practices by evaluating their respective effects on employee attitudes. This report will review the methods and findings of my project, as well as explain how I used the ORCA Grant to achieve my goals.
