People have a wide range of needs which motivate them to strive for fulfillment.

HERZBERG’S THEORY OF MOTIVATIONHERZBERG’S THEORY OF MOTIVATION

Herzberg developed a theory of

motivation on the premise

that human nature has two

separate elements:The maintenance factors or hygiene factorsThe motivators

THE MAINTENANCE FACTORS OR HYGIENE FACTORS

Hygiene factors are based on the need to for a business to avoid unpleasant at work. Hygiene factors include:◦Company policy & administration◦Wages, salaries & other financial remuneration◦Quality of supervision◦Quality of IPR◦Working condition◦Feeling of job security

THE MOTIVATOR FACTORS Motivator factors are based on an individual’s

need for personal growth. They make people satisfied with their job.

Motivators are necessary to keep job satisfaction and job performance high. When motivators are absent, prevent both satisfaction and motivation.

There is some similarity between Herzberg’s & Maslow’s models. They both suggest that needs have to be satisfied for the employee to be motivated.
