Answer to Question 2

Herzberg theorized that matters like good wages, good working conditions, and proper and fair supervision, while important, did nothing to increase employee motivation and commitment. They are called hygiene factors because an employer must always seek to maintain them at appropriate levels to ensure a productive, stable workforce. However, reduce them or take them away, these factors will serve to de-motivate employees. Motivators are factors like interesting work, full appreciation of work done, feeling in on things, growth opportunities and increased responsibility, which are more instrinsic to the employee and the value and satisfaction he or she derives from the work itself. Create conditions where these values can be satisfied and employee motivation and commitment will increase.
