Abstract: This study assessed the impact of extrinsic (financial) and intrinsic (non-financial) rewards on motivation of workers in Osun State Civil Service. The objective was to ascertain their relative importance as determinants of motivation among the workers. Data was generated through a questionnaire from a randomly selected sample of 580 workers. Data analysis was performed using Linear Regression Model and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results showed that the impact of extrinsic (financial) rewards on workers motivation is not greater than the impact of intrinsic (non-financial) rewards. It was concluded that both rewards types are equally potent as stimulants of motivation among the workers.
