The main principles of reward distribution are expectations, goal setting and fairness, and strengthening theory. These theories apply to multinational managers who are suitable for a cultural environment. Expectation theory suggests that employee behavior is guided by the motivations of their desired outcomes. Specifically, the level of work an employee contributes to an organization can be predicted by the employer's positive response. This theory is the first choice for individualistic culture because it focuses on the efforts to reward lonely individuals. Specifically, the theory motivates individuals to set goals and take the initiative when achieving them. The theory of fairness is based on the equality observed by employees in the rewards they receive for professional ethics (Argenti, 2009). These rewards focus on the quality and quantity of work, while also considering other factors such as age and educational background. This theory is the first choice for individualistic culture because it is based on individual perception. Since this theory does not present absolute criteria for effort and reward, it depends on how people perceive their efforts compared to their colleagues. Goal setting theory shows that employees want to achieve organizational goals in order to feel satisfaction and ability at work. This theory can be replaced by collectivist and individualistic cultures, depending on how people think they are linked to group outcomes. Reinforcement theory is based on how employees learn and pay attention to observable behavior, rather than the psychological process that affects employee motivation. The operational conditional model proposes that behavior is a function of its consequences. Since this theory can have a significant impact on the behavior of many people, this theory is favored by the collectivist culture.

Different cultures are inspired by different needs, needs, and cultural identities. Collectivist cultures like Japan require different motives in multinational companies, rather than individualistic countries like the United States. Therefore, any multinational company should pay attention to and identify cultural characteristics, quality and needs. This is a very critical and challenging issue. Both theories emphasize one aspect, that is, "motivation" from a different perspective. All of these theories provide insight into the management role, which is critical to determining what individual “incentives” are, so they can create such plans (salaries, bonuses) for them. Need to be dealt with theoretically - what motivates people; it pays attention to individual needs and goals. Process theory involves a motivational process and focuses on how the motivation occurs (Sevincer, Kluge & Oettingen,...
