Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Herzberg's two-factor theory proposes that there are hygiene factors (such as salary and working conditions) and motivators (such as recognition and challenging work) that contribute to job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. However, it is difficult to clearly distinguish between these two factors as they can be interconnected and their effects can be subjective. It is also subjective to quantify how much satisfaction or dissatisfaction a person is experiencing, making it difficult to scientifically investigate the theory.
