    Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory distinguishes between satisfiers and dissatisfiers in the workplace. Satisfiers, or motivators, such as achievement, recognition, and responsibility can positively motivate employees but do not necessarily cause dissatisfaction if absent. In contrast, dissatisfiers, or hygiene factors, like pay, supervision, and working conditions, address an employee's context and avoid dissatisfaction but do not intrinsically motivate. Herzberg determined these categories by analyzing employee descriptions of exceptionally positive or negative job experiences.
