IntroductionToBusiness OP 8D04gAa / 9.5. Herzberg's Motivator-Hygiene Theory*
"Another important contribution to our understanding of individual motivation came from Frederick Herzberg’s studies, which addressed the question, “What do people really want from their work experience?” In the late 1950s, Herzberg surveyed numerous employees to find out what particular work elements made them feel exceptionally good or bad about their jobs. The results indicated that certain job factors are consistently related to employee job satisfaction, while others can create job dissatisfaction. According to Herzberg, motivating factors (also called job satisfiers) are primarily intrinsic job elements that lead to satisfaction. Hygiene factors (also called job dissatisfiers) are extrinsic elements of the work environment. A summary of motivating and hygiene factors appears in Table 9.2. Herzberg’s Motivating and Hygiene Factors: Motivating Factors: Achievement, Recognition, Work itself, Responsibility. Hygiene Factors: Company policy, Supervision, Working conditions, Interpersonal relationships at work."
