Introduction of Two-Factor

Theory Known as Motivation-Hygiene Theory

People are influenced by two factor

ensure an employee does not

without them there is dissatisfaction.

i.) Working condition

ii.) Quality of supervision

iii.) Salary

iv.) Status

v.) Security

vi.) Company

vii.) Job



Motivation factors are needed inorder to motivate an employee into

higher performance.

Typical Motivation Factors include:

ii.)Recognition for achievement

iii.) Responsibility for task

iv.) Interest in the job



The factors causing satisfaction aredifferent from those causingdissatisfaction

The two feeling cannot simply betreated as opposites of one another

The opposite of satisfaction is notdissatisfaction, but rather, no

satisfaction. Similarly, the opposite of

dissatisfaction is no dissatisfaction.



Hygiene Factor•The term hygiene factor is a term widely used in the field of business

management. It is related to the study of motivation and job

satisfaction in the workplace.

•Factors that affected job satisfaction in a negative manner areclassified as hygiene factors. These include working conditions,

company policies, relations with coworkers and pay.

• Hygiene factors do not necessarily increase job satisfaction.

Hygiene factors are more concerned with the state of the workplace

than those who work in it. They are important, but not necessarilyimperative, to maintaining an employee’s desire to continue working.



Company Policies &

Administration

The feelings about the adequacy or inadequacy

of company organization and management. This

includes poor communications, lack of delegated

authority, policies, procedures, and rules.



Supervision

The competency or technical ability of the

supervisor. This includes the supervisorswillingness to teach or delegate authority,

fairness, and job knowledge.



Interpersonal Relations

The relationships between the worker

and his or her superiors, subordinates,and peers. This includes both job related

interactions and social interactions within

the work environment.



Status

Factors that involve some indication of

status private office, important sounding

title, secretary, company car, and other“perks.” Changes in status would be

considered under advancement



Job Security

The employee’s job tenure and/or the

company’s stability or instability objectivesigns of the presence or absence of job

security, not the feelings of security.



Salary

This includes all forms of compensation and

focuses on wage or salary increases orunfulfilled expectation of increases.



How to Create Conditions for Job

Satisfaction Creating work that is rewarding and

that matches the skills and abilities of

the worker.

Giving as much responsibility to eachteam member as possible.

Providing opportunities to advance in

the company through internalpromotions.



Motivational Factors• Inherent to work and motivate the

employees for a superiorperformance

• These factors are called satisfiersand involved in performing the job

• Employees find these factorsintrinsically rewarding

• The motivators symbolized thepsychological needs that wereperceived as an additional benefit



Appreciation or recognition for a

job well done Recognition is not only to make employees

feel good about their work and

accomplishments

We recognize and praise because we wantto reinforce a particular effort or result that

helps the business

The more these specific behaviours are

recognized, the more frequently anemployee will repeat them



An understanding attitude from the

management

An understanding attitude should be reflected in

the way an employee receives correction and

discipline

The same can be said for displaying loyalty to

your employees

In addition, making work interesting and

planning a career path for them woulddemonstrate that a manager or supervisor has

taken into consideration an individual

employee's strengths and talents prior to

assigning the work



Good wages

Include benefits, time off, bonuses,profit sharing and any other programyou have in your organization that

relates to compensation Make certain your people know and

understand every aspect of theircompensation plan, not just what they

take home at the end of the month Pay people what the position and their

performance is worth



Conclusion

High Hygiene + High Motivation

High Hygiene + Low Motivation

Low Hygiene + High Motivation

Low Hygiene + Low Motivation
