Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Herzberg's motivator-hygiene theory focuses on two types of factors: hygiene factors (working conditions, salary, job security, etc.) and motivator factors (job content, recognition, opportunities for growth, etc.). The theory suggests that hygiene factors can only prevent dissatisfaction, but they cannot motivate employees to perform better. Job enrichment, which involves giving employees more responsibility, autonomy, and opportunities for learning and development, is an example of a motivator factor that can increase employee motivation and job satisfaction. Therefore, option E is the best choice.
