1. Title: Coded respondent's survey data to analyze the impact of contingent rewards and punishments on employee performance, while employee engagement plays a mediating role.
2. Introduction: This study has introduced a conceptual framework to understand the multifaceted connection between contingent rewards, punishment, and their effects on employee performance, with a specific emphasis on the mediating function of employee engagement. This study contained 4 major study variables. To measure these constructs well-established measurement scales have been employed. A total of 49 items (6 demographic variables and 43 study variables items) were used to conduct the survey.

3. Dataset Description:

Source: data was obtained from non-clinical healthcare professionals who are basically not directly related to direct patient care services. They are responsible for all the supportive and auxiliary healthcare services who are working in the NABH-accredited hospitals, in India. All 5 functional departments were included such as operations, general administration, quality assurance, patient care services, and the health insurance department.

Data collection methods: A non-experimental survey-based questionnaire was distributed online and offline to the respondents. A purposive sampling technique was followed. Respondents were provided a consent form where they were assured that any time of the survey, they could leave without any accountability. All personal details will be kept confidential.

Data coding: The datasheet contains two sections. Demographic variables were captured through categorical scales and study variables were based on 5-item Likert scales where 5 =strongly agree, 4= agree, 3= neutral, 2= disagree, 1= strongly disagree. Items with negative intentions were coded reversely. There was no missing data, outliers and data transformations happened.
