Abstract

The compensation and benefits programs are widely discussed in the literature. This program has been concluded that the compensation and benefits helps the employee sustain themselves and their families. Besides, this program helps increase the employee motivation to work and perform better and leads to increased trust and commitment. However, the study aimed to understand the role of the compensation and benefits in international schools is limited and even scarce information is available regarding the role of the compensation and benefits in international schools in Saudi Arabia and especially Jeddah. The study based on 125 respondents to a quantitative study by employees of international schools in Jeddah. The findings concluded that the compensation and benefits help increase the employee trust in the employer and they work harder. Similarly, there is a difference in need of the native and expatriate compensation and benefits in their work. For the Saudis the social insurance, annual holiday and medical has surfaced as important and required benefit. Whereas, for expatriates for obvious reasons, it is the annual holiday with ticket, medical insurance and visa renewal is important.
