Herzberger’s Motivator Hygiene Theory
Herzberger said an employee’s motivation is affected by both hygiene factors and motivators.
Hygiee factors: are extrinsic and include salary, benefits, and work environment.
Motivators are intrinsic and include growth and recognition.
Herzberger discovered that job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are independent of one another. For example, removing the the cause of dissatisfaction does not necessarily equate to job satisfaction. And, adding causes of job satisfation does not necessarily negate job dissaatisfaction.
