Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Herzberg's research indicated that employees are motivated by job content, and managers can increase job significance and provide important feedback by enriching the job. This is done by enhancing the employee's role in decision-making, increasing their responsibilities and accountability, providing opportunities for growth and development, and offering regular feedback and recognition. Rotation of the job, simplifying the job, and reducing responsibilities in the job may not necessarily lead to increased motivation and job satisfaction for employees.
