Understanding Herzberg's Motivating Factors Theory In 1960, Frederick Herzberg constructed a two-dimensional paradigm of factors that affect people's work attitudes According to Herzberg's theory, motivators are job factors that cause employees to be productive and that give them satisfaction. Conversely, hygiene factors (or maintenance factors) are factors that can cause dissatisfaction if they are , missing but they do not necessarily motivate employees if they are increased Herzberg's study asked workers to rank various job-related factors in order of importance relative to motivation. The question was, "what creates enthusiasm for workers and makes them work to their full potential?" Fourteen factors were identified. Factors receiving the most votes all clustered around job content. Herzberg also found that workers did not consider factors related to the job environment to be motivators; in particular, pay was not a factor. Workers felt that the absence of good pay, job security, and friendly supervisors could cause dissatisfaction, but their presence did not motivate employees to work harder, they just provided satisfaction and contentment in the work situation. Herzberg concluded that certain factors, which he called motivators, made employees productive and gave them satisfaction. Herzberg called other elements of the job hygiene factors (or maintenance factors). These related to the job environment and could cause dissatisfaction if missing but would not necessarily motivate employees if increased Read the description on each box, and then drag that box to the column you feel is correct ce of ibility Motivators and rules ay work itself Job security Reset

Though the question is not complete, but I will answer your question by stating what factors, according to herzberg, constitutes both motivating factors (satisfiers) and hygiene factors (dissatisfiers).

According to Herzberg, motivating factors (also called satisfiers) are primarily intrinsic job elements that lead to satisfaction. They includes:

1. Achievement

2. Recognition

3. The (nature of) work itself

4. Responsibility

5. Advancement

6. Growth.

Hygiene factors will cause an employee to work less if not present. From the information in the question, Hygiene factors (or maintenance factors) are factors that can cause dissatisfaction if they are missing but they do not necessarily motivate employees if they are increased. These included:

1. Company policies

2. Supervision

3. Relationship with supervisor and peers

4. Work conditions

5. Salary

6. Status

7. Security
