Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory identifies motivation factors (satisfiers) as intrinsic elements related to job content, such as achievement and recognition, which truly motivate employees. Hygiene factors, including pay, benefits, and working conditions, are extrinsic and can prevent dissatisfaction but do not motivate in the same way as intrinsic factors.
