The study analyzed the effects of SMEs' level of reward for on-duty invention on the number of patent application, reduction of researchers' turnover, reduction of technology leakage by using Linear Regression Analysis and Logistic Regression Analysis in an effort to change SMEs' views on reward system. The study shows that the level of reward for on-duty inventions has a positive effect on the performance of patent application and reduction of researchers' turnover but has no significant effect on technology leakage. Based on the analysis result, the study suggests the government to give incentives when participate in national R&D programs, introduce special tax credit program and operate mortgage program without interest for the companies which operate Employee Invention System.
