Hertzberg and Motivation Factor

The “please-factors” were things like: achievement, recognition, the work itself, responsibility,
advancement and growth, while the “displease-factors” were things like: company policies,
supervision, relationship with supervisor and peers, work conditions, salary, status and security.
Hertzberg then divided the motivational drivers into two groups: “hygiene factors” and
“motivators”.Hertzberg’s hygiene factors are things like: job security, salary, benefits, work
conditions, good pay, paid insurance and vacations. In other words mainly extrinsic, short term
motivation factors – things that other people do, or don’t do – or things that other people give
you or don’t give you. Opposite the hygiene factors, Hertzberg’s motivators are things like:
challenging work, recognition for one’s achievement, responsibility, opportunity to do something
meaningful, involvement in decision making and a sense of importance to an organization.
Hertzberg’s motivators are mainly long-term, intrinsic motivation factors, things that come from
inside, like feeling a part of something bigger than ourselves and understanding our individual
contribution to the overall objectives
