Key Management Theories and Organizational Behavior Concepts

Other subjects32.3 KB

Herzberg's Two-Factor Motivation Theory

Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory (1959) proposes that job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are influenced by separate sets of factors, rather than being opposite ends of a single continuum.

Hygiene Factors (Dissatisfiers)

Hygiene Factors (also called Maintenance Factors) are elements in the workplace that, when absent or inadequate, cause job dissatisfaction. However, when present, they only prevent dissatisfaction—they do not actively motivate employees.

  • Examples:

    • Company policies and administration
    • Supervision quality
    • Salary and job security
