It is currently unknown and undocumented which rewards mid-level student affairs professionals prefer, why they prefer those rewards, and how mid-level student affairs professionals believe the receipt of preferred rewards would influence job performance. Developing an understanding for preferred rewards is important for retaining professionals who might leave the field as a result of reward dissatisfaction (Johnsrud & Rosser, 1999; Lawler, 2006) and to optimize performance (Lawler, 2000; 2006). The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to understand the rewards that mid-level student affairs professionals working at the University of Maryland (UMD) and George Washington University (GWU) prefer and 2) how those professionals believe the receipt of preferred rewards would influence their job performance. The study employed a collective case study design. While individual participants served as the primary cases, knowledge of institutional differences served as a theoretical proposition to examine similarities and differences for themes across cases. Data were collected through survey questionnaires, document analyses, and semi-structured interviews. The survey questionnaire verified participation criteria and informed the development of semi-structured interview questions. In total, over 125 institutional webpages were reviewed in order to understand if disconnects existed between employee perceptions and written policies. In total, 15 professionals completed semi-structured interviews and represented the following areas of specialization: career services, counseling, disabled student services, parent and family affairs, residential life, student conduct, and student engagement. The rewards commonly preferred amongst study participants related to performance management and included: revising the formal performance evaluation process, engaging in developmental conversations and receiving feedback from supervisors, and receiving recognition. Institutional differences influenced participants’ preferences for: institutional fit, professional development, salary, and work life balance. Across both sites of study, participants believed their performance would be influenced by the receipt of feedback, engaging in developmental conversations, participating in professional development, receiving work life balance benefits, and working in a positive environment. Salary and benefits were preferred rewards; however, they had no influence on participants’ performance. Recommendations for practice are provided for supervisors and higher education human resource professionals. Additionally, recommendations for future research are provided.
