	Evaluation FREDERICK V. HERZBERG (born 1923) - 'two-factor' theory = 'hygiene' factors - caused people to be dissatisfied + motivating factors which he called satisfiers. Fulfilling these hygiene factors wouldn't cause motivation but would simply prevent demotivation: company policies, supervision, relationships, work conditions, remuneration, salary + security. He noted that motivators were more related to the job itself, most important motivators were: achievement, recognition, the work itself, responsibility, advancement + growth.

Evaluate Herzberg's theory.

Advantages

management will be able to reduce hygiene factors to a minimum if they know what they are
specific factors leading to job satisfaction relate to the job itself - gets the most out of their employees
new challenges + icreasinng level of responsibility for employees leads to increased job satisfaction
shows commitment to employees + recognition of their effort
some motivators/demotivators are in control of managers

Disadvantages

assumes that everyone seeks motivators such as increased responsibility
some organisations may require a bureaucratic regime + autocratic leadership style - theory may not be acceptable
main insight was that unless the job itself was interesting there was no way of making working life more satisfying
some jobs are difficult to enrich + job enrichment is expensive for many firms
job satisfaction does not guarantee improved motivation + productivity
he only used a limited sample of 200 accountants + engineers so it is questioned whether it can be applied to all workers
