A remuneração como fator estratégico de motivação dos colaboradores nas organizações: análise dos sistemas salariais, incentivos e seus impactos no desempenho e na retenção de talentos nas organizações.

This scientific article analyses compensation as a strategic factor for employee motivation in organisations, focusing on salary systems, incentives and their impact on performance and talent retention. Compensation is understood as a strategic human resource management instrument, as it integrates pay, benefits, incentives, recognition, career development and well-being conditions that contribute to attracting, motivating and retaining qualified professionals (Armstrong & Brown, 2023; WorldatWork, 2024). The study adopts a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach, based on bibliographic review and interpretative analysis of organisational practices. The literature shows that well-structured reward systems positively influence satisfaction, commitment, productivity and employee retention (Figueiredo et al., 2025; Khan et al., 2024). It is concluded that compensation should be designed in a fair, transparent, competitive and strategically aligned manner, being essential for sustainable performance and talent retention.
