Employee incentive mechanisms play a crucial role in enhancing job satisfaction and performance, particularly in high-stakes industries such as equity trading. This study examines the relationship between various incentive structures—monetary rewards, performance bonuses, stock options, and non-monetary benefits—and their impact on employee motivation, job satisfaction, and overall productivity. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collects and analyzes data from employees in equity trading firms through surveys and interviews. The study aims to identify which incentives are most effective in fostering a motivated workforce, reducing turnover, and improving overall job performance. Findings suggest that a combination of financial and non-financial incentives leads to higher job satisfaction, with equity-based compensation playing a significant role in long-term employee engagement. Additionally, the research highlights the importance of workplace culture, career growth opportunities, and psychological rewards in enhancing employee performance. The study provides valuable insights for management in designing effective incentive systems that align with organizational goals and employee expectations. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on human resource management strategies in financial institutions and offer recommendations for optimizing incentive structures in equity trading companies.
