Which motivation theory developed by Frederick Herzberg divides workplace factors into ‘Hygiene Factors’ and ‘Motivators’?

AExpectancy Theory
BTwo-Factor (Motivation-Hygiene) Theory
CEquity Theory
DERG Theory

Explanation

• Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory posits that Hygiene factors (salary, job security, working conditions) prevent job dissatisfaction but do not motivate.
• Motivator factors (achievement, recognition, growth, responsibility) actively drive job satisfaction and higher performance.
• Eliminating hygiene dissatisfaction does not automatically create high motivation; true motivation requires enrichment of work content.
