This paper aims to assess how a system of compensation (pay and promotion) influences the motivation of teaching staff of the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT). For both, a theoretical reference is organized about the issues involving people's motivation, as well as those related to the characteristics of the organizations’s rewards systems. The prospect of research in this paper is quantitative, descriptive stamp. It was adopted as a methodological procedure to carry out a survey of 290 teachers. Thus, as data collection instrument was used application of structured questionnaires. The analysis and interpretation of data, performed using descriptive statistics such as multiple regression analysis, allow to point out that the transparency of progression opportunities and the fairness of the remuneration system are variables that exert a statistically significant positive effect on both the extrinsic motivation as the intrinsic motivation of the UFT’s teachers. Among the independent variables that do not statistically significantly affect any of the dependent variables are transparency of the remuneration system and the controllability of progression opportunities.
