The two-factor theory, also known as Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory, proposes that factors related to job satisfaction (such as achievement, recognition, and responsibility) are separate from those related to job dissatisfaction (such as salary, working conditions, and job security). Lower-order needs (such as physiological and safety needs) are related to the hygiene factors that prevent dissatisfaction, while higher-order needs (such as esteem and self-actualization needs) are related to the motivators that promote satisfaction. Therefore, the two-factor theory is most closely related to job satisfaction attitudes.
