Herzberg's Motivator-Hygiene Theory states that improving motivators (such as opportunities for growth, recognition, and achievement) can increase job satisfaction, but it does not necessarily decrease job dissatisfaction. Conversely, improving hygiene factors (such as salary, working conditions, and job security) can decrease job dissatisfaction but does not necessarily lead to increased job satisfaction. This theory recognizes the two factors as separate and independent, rather than opposites. Additionally, Herzberg's theory does not view money as the primary motivator, but rather as a hygiene factor.
