- Examples include achievement, recognition, the nature of the work, responsibility, advancement, and growth.
- Motivating factors lead to job satisfaction.
- Hygiene factors, also called dissatisfiers, are extrinsic elements of the work environment.

- Proper management of hygiene factors can prevent employee dissatisfaction.
- Hygiene factors cannot serve as a source of satisfaction or motivation.
