Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The idea that employees are motivated by motivators (such as growth, recognition, and achievement) rather than maintenance factors (such as salary, working conditions, and job security) is a central concept of Frederick Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory. The other three options, Hierarchy of Needs Theory, ERG Theory, and Acquired Needs Theory, do not differentiate between motivators and maintenance factors in the same way as Two-Factor Theory.
