AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Herzberg’s theory broke down workplace needs into two categories: motivation factors that give employees a sense of satisfaction and hygiene factors that determine the basic level of stability and job security.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hygiene factors guard against job dissatisfaction, and motivators contribute to job satisfaction. Examples of hygiene factors are work relationships, supervisor relationships, working conditions and environment, and salary. Examples of motivators are achievement, recognition, and responsibility.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two-factor theory (also known as Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory and dual-factor theory) states that there are certain factors in the workplace that cause job satisfaction while a separate set of factors cause dissatisfaction, all of which act independently of each other.
