Herzberg two factor theory: Herzberg’s two-factor theory outlines that humans are

Herzberg’s two-factor theory outlines that humans are motivated by two things: motivators and hygiene factors (see Figure 1). These two factors are both critical to motivation: motivators encourage job satisfaction and hygiene factors prevent job dissatisfaction. Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, also known as the Motivation-Hygiene Theory, was developed by psychologist Frederick Herzberg in the 1950s and 1960s. This influential theory suggests that job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction are influenced by two different sets of factors: motivators and hygiene factors. In 1959, Frederick Herzberg, a behavioural scientist proposed a two-factor theory or the motivator-hygiene theory. According to Herzberg, there are some job factors that result in satisfaction while there are other job factors that prevent dissatisfaction. The two-factor theory states that job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are caused by different factors that act independently of each other. It was developed by psychologist Frederick Herzberg, who identified motivators (intrinsic to the work) and hygiene factors (extrinsic to the work) as the two sets of factors.
