A continuous and central concern for both the public and the private sectors is the success of their organizations,
which is mainly determined by the productivity of its employees as well as the satisfaction that their employees
derive from their jobs. However, there is always the problem of a proper identification of the reward system that
should be really valued and appreciated by the employees. The question is always related to the reward mix
either to be intrinsic or extrinsic and whether to be financial or non financial. The aim is continuously to design
the adequate reward mix, which can lead to the employees’ motivation and satisfaction. The problem is much
more visible in public organizations in Egypt. Although the public administrators are often overworked,
underpaid and underappreciated, their ‘Public Service Ethic’ is important because it roots the assumption that
public servants are self motivated by protecting and working for the good of the public. However, there is a
much doubt about whether this ideology can apply generally to developing countries and specifically to the
Egyptian public administration context. As always discussing the bad performance of the public sector in Egypt,
mainly characterized by the bureaucracy and the lack of work motivation for the public administrator, the blame
is always directed to the limited financial resources available which can be relatively true, although most of the
literature on motivation gives more weight to the intrinsic rewards in the work, more than other extrinsic rewards
as the financial resources. The significance of the study lies in the fact that human sustainability constitute a real
crisis in most public organizations in Egypt affecting employees’ performance and productivity, an issue whichhas been of a major concern ever since the 25th January Revolution. Accordingly, there is a significant call for a
greater understanding of human sustainability at work by examining strategies that employees use to manage and
to sustain their energy throughout the workday. Then it is crucial to recommend strategies for embedding human
dimension of sustainability to maintain energetic organizations in Egypt. Recent research on the management of
organizations has highlighted the need for remarkable measures when handling employee issues and
organizations. However, there has been relatively little attention on how they might influence the development of
sustainable and effective management of organizations and employees (Schiuma, 2011).
