This work is aimed at examining the impact of reward on employees’ performance with special reference to Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC), Bota-Limbe Cameroon. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data from one hundred and twenty (120) participants through incidental sampling method and data were analysed by multiple regression analysis.
