No matter if it is because of academic pressure or enterprise competition, the requirement for higher work and learning efficiency is urgent. Taking people’s physical and mental health into account, it is assumed that using rewards to boost one’s efficiency is the most reasonable. This paper examines the relation between rewards and efficiency and to seek for solutions which improve the efficiency of reward. Rewards can enhance one’s work efficiency by promoting one’s memory and creativity, objectively improving their work ability. Rewards can also increase the release of dopamine, subjectively improve their willingness to work. The results revealed that higher frequency and magnitude of rewards could improve its effectiveness. Monetary rewards are more effective than non- monetary rewards, and immediate rewards are more effective than delayed rewards. This indicates that as long as economic condition permits, offering substantial rewards frequently can bet improve work efficiency.
