Two Factor Theory

Hertzberg's Hygiene Theory distinguishes between job satisfaction and dissatisfaction, suggesting they are not opposites but coexist. Job satisfaction is driven by motivators, intrinsic to the job, like personal recognition and meaningful work. In contrast, dissatisfaction stems from hygiene factors, related to the job environment, such as policies and management. Understanding these factors helps improve motivation and performance in organizations.
