The population is the client of Parsian Bank in Tehran. Result shows financial, direct and surprising rewards are more attractive than non-financial, indirect and non-surprising rewards. Also, financial/non-financial aspect of rewards is more important than direct/indirect and surprising/non-surprising aspect of rewards.
