Popis: Objective (s): Decision making about characteristics of reward system is one of the main challenges in organizations. The current study was carried out in order to design and provide a reward system for staff working in hospital affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) hospitals. Methods This study was performed in two steps from May 2014 to January 2016 in Tehran. First, the research team identified the main axes of reward system using semi-structured interviews with experts and stakeholders. Then the list of final criteria for rewarding was prepared in addition to weight for each criterion using ‘pairwise comparison analysis’. Secondly, in order to identify the executive requirements, the model was implemented in one hospital as a pilot. Results: The main aspects of reward system were scoring method; type of reward; awareness program; evaluation; executive requirements (including structure and process). After pilot study criteria and scoring method were improved. Conclusion: Although the findings were promising, it seems for model success defining executive requirements (including process and structure) proportionate to available capacities and advocacy from head and senior managers is essential.
