Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Herzberg's theory, motivators are factors that lead to job satisfaction and include opportunities for achievement and recognition. Providing a better health care plan and redecorating their offices may improve their job satisfaction but they are not necessarily motivators. Setting up a break room where coworkers could socialize may not directly impact job performance. Therefore, offering opportunities for achievement and recognition is the most appropriate motivator in this scenario.
