Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation distinguishes between hygiene factors (such as salary, job security, and working conditions) that can prevent dissatisfaction and motivators (such as advancement, recognition, and the work itself) that can lead to satisfaction and increased motivation. Advancement is considered a motivator that can lead to higher levels of satisfaction and motivation once the basic hygiene factors are adequately addressed.
