The Two-factor theory, also known as the Motivation-Hygiene theory, suggests that employees are motivated by factors such as recognition, sense of achievement, growth opportunities, challenging work, and responsibility (motivational factors), whereas factors such as salary, job security, working conditions, and company policies are only dissatisfiers (hygiene factors). Therefore, just providing high salaries and good fringe benefits may not be enough to motivate employees if the motivational factors are not addressed.
