2. NATURE OF CAPM
The basic purpose of compensation management is to establish and maintain an equitable
reward system. The compensation management is concerned with the financial aspects of
needs, motivation and rewards. Managers, therefore, analyze and interpret the needs of their
employees so that reward can be individually designed to satisfy these needs. For it has been
rightly said that people do what they do to satisfy some need. Before they do anything, they
look for a reward or pay-off. The reward may be money or promotion, but more likely it will
be some pay-off-a smile, acceptance by a peer, receipt of information, a kind word of
recognition etc.,
