Over the years, rewards and job satisfaction have been issues of concern to employers and employees in various organizations globally. Outsourced service providers in Jos, Plateau State are not exceptions. Besides, inadequate reward factors such as pay, fringe benefits, recognition, promotion and job security are some of the major reasons responsible for employees’ dissatisfaction and intention to leave their current organizations. Moreover, the immediate precursor of lack of satisfaction or dissatisfaction of employees of outsourced service providers has been caused by low or poor rewards which raises great concern for both academic administrators and human resource managers in Nigeria.
