Abstract Six educational institutions of the higher learning, distributed over different regions of the country, have been randomly selected to study the state of organizational reward systems (ORS) in the higher educational institutions (HEI) of Ethiopia. A questionnaire, mainly made up of closed-items with five-stage rating scale and a minimum - satisfactory point of 3.00, has been administered to collect the data required to answer the basic questions specified under the introductory chapter of this paper. organizational rewards are broadly classified into two basic categories: extrinsic rewards and intrinsic rewards. According to this study, the variables of extrinsic rewards and intrinsic rewards bear respective mean values of 2.69 and 3.23. These values generally indicate that academic employees are dissatisfied with extrinsics (mainly material rewards) whereas they are relatively satisfied with intrinsics (job content) of the ORS. However, the combined (weighted) mean rate (2.79) of the two components does reflect a state of unsatisfactory organizational rewards in the system of the HEI of Ethiopia.
